Coffee & Code - Gift Grab Power-Ups & App Store Improvements

Adding flame and cookie power-ups to Gift Grab game after App Store rejection, plus extending game time from 30 to 45 seconds.

I added a few power-ups to the Gift Grab game to make the game more interesting.

Originally, the game was based on Santa collecting as many gifts as he could within 30 seconds while dodging the ice blocks, (which would freeze him).

After the app got rejecting on the App Store for not being challenging enough, a few of you recommended I add a few new features.

One, the flame power-up, allows Santa to be immune to the ice blocks for 10 seconds.

Two, the cookie power-up, doubles Santa’s speed on the map for 10 seconds as well.

I also increased the game time to 45 seconds.

Of course, I’ll still need to add multiple levels, high scores, and difficulty adjustments, but this was a good start.
