Leaks in the Deeps

You’re in a submarine (or some other glass container) under water. See some fish in the background.

Random leaks/breaks appear in the glass! Survive as long as possible.

The glass has integrity. Starts at 100%, you lose when at 0%.

Each leak damages integrity. Repairing gets it back.

Different Leaks?

This increases in difficulty. Each different type of leak requires a different gesture/movement/action to repair it.

Touch to repair
Touch + hold
Scribble/shuffle over it
Make circles over it
(Draw a specific shape around it?)
Tap repeatedly (X times) => but tapping too many times destroys it, so we need a second or two delay before it actually “repairs” it
A leak that (somehow) moves over the glass.
A leak that grows bigger over time.
(One that grows smaller would be a bit useless, as it would then repair itself? Or is that an interesting strategy as well: leave it be and hope it goes away soon? Would work if it shrinks really slowly.)

Modify for Desktop?

Add multiple pointers that can be moved/clicked.

Needs something extra …

Maybe pointers can only move in one direction
And there’s a button that, when pressed, changes this direction
And maybe another button that makes you ignore those general commands, or everything moves faster, or something like that

Ad Support?

Permanent powerups:

Many different fish types => these make the game harder, but are also more rewarding when you beat them.
- If you come very far, and it has no new fish type to include, it unlocks it by itself.
Increase glass integrity
Increase speed of leak removal
Increase points for removing something. (Or decrease penalty when new leak is added.)
Score multiplier in general
Multiple lives => when you’re supposed to die, it takes a life instead, and removes whatever was killing you.

End-screen tricks:

Keep playing! (Resets integrity to 30% or something.)

Cosmetic:

Different backgrounds
Different leak designs? Different shield designs?
