Each tier has its own tempo suitable for its intended target audience. Higher tiers feature 2 lasers (Double Dutch) to increase difficulty and make it visually more exciting for spectators. Even though there is down-time to accommodate for different skill levels &amp; lessen monotony, the laser rotation speeds are timed so that optionally the player can still jump continuously if he so desires.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7de59b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7de59b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joostpieters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Jump-Rope-Challenge-Machine-Gif-Low-Size.gif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1114\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2052a85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2052a85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For some tiers the lasers not only rotate but also move horizontally. The reason why I programmed this feature is because play-testing showed that this horizontal motion made jumping over the laser more reliable as the laser would sweep underneath you more quickly. Simply increasing the rotational speed only, would make the challenge too punishable and less accessible, but the horizontal motion doesn&#8217;t decrease down-time in-between jumps.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pattern Spawning<br \/><\/span>The Holos, (blue collectibles),\u00a0 move in a single axis over the play area.<br \/>The reason behind spawning them in this manner is so that the player can direct his attention on jumping over the rotating laser instead of having to look around to find them like for example in the Sweeping Lasers Challenge where they spawn in the corners of the play area.<\/p><p>Note that I ended up changing the direction the Holos spawn from to increase visual clarity for the contesters. Play-testing showed that some players found seeing the other players&#8217; Holos was distracting whilst looking at the nearest laser arms helped improve their timing.<\/p><p>Just like the laser, the Holos too move in a fixed speed to grant the player a sense of rhythm. <br \/>I (painstakingly) timed the moving Holo spawning in such a way that they can be collected in-between jumps, so that the laser is never unfairly in the way of collecting one. This also further tests the players coordination, as the combination of jumping and collecting Holos in-between jumps requires footwork comically similar to Irish Dancing. It creates a risk-reward situation as the player must constantly make split-second decisions on how many Holos he can collect and still make the next jump.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Getting hit<br \/><\/span>If the player hits a laser, both the laser and the Holo spawning will temporarily turn off, meaning the player can&#8217;t just ignore the laser and collect Holos without jumping. The laser turns off as soon as it&#8217;s touched so the game won&#8217;t unfairly register more than 1 minus point.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6495061 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6495061\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joostpieters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Double-Dutch-Gameplay.gif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1113\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d73aa7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d73aa7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br><p>I programmed the laser to re-appear at a fixed angle that play-testing proved to be ideal for preparing the next jump. Even when featuring 2 lasers, the precise timing of the re-appearing lasers allow players to re-enter the game!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Jump streak<br><\/span>Because the Jump Rope Challenge is one of the more cardio intensive exercises in the game, I wanted to positively encourage the player to press on. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I added a Diegetic UI element in the form of a Jump Streak bar located in front of the player. It counts the amount of successful jumps the player has made in a row and rewards the player with the spawning of a Bonus Holo upon reaching a streak. This proved to be highly motivating! <\/p>\n<p>The pink bonus point Holos are timed in-between the regular Holo patterns and their spawn location requires a swift arm motion to collect, which feels very satisfying to pull off.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aaa359 elementor-widget-divider--view-line
