Color Catcher by @stressedsadness is the second place winner of the Summer 2024 Seam Miniapp Challenge! This exciting and fast-paced game is reminiscent of others like Flappy Bird and Beat Saber. Color Catcher is a great addition to Seam’s Miniapps because it encourages users to play and share their high scores.

How to use Color Catcher:

1. Tap to change the color of the bucket to match the incoming ball

2. If you fail to match the colors in time, you lose

3. You can decide to share your score, or continue to try for a higher one!

What we love: Color Catcher encourages Seam users to engage in a little friendly competition by sharing their high scores! The game is pretty hard, so it’s impressive when someone gets a good score.

Quick tip: Be fast! This game is simple, but difficult.

Technical Implementation: The code for the Color Catcher miniapp can be found in this Pull Request. The game is played in the Composer Component, while the score is posted in the Feed Component. That’s a good pattern for playing games, as the shareable item of the game is the highscore. We’re looking to expand the functionality of the miniapp builder to include global data storage, to store global highscores, as well as user data storage, to allow miniapps to store a specific user’s highscore. For now though, post your score for each session!
