Fishdom Solitaire Blocker Feature

Fishdom Solitaire - OctoDad Blocker

Role: UI/UX, system + narrative, 2D art (team of two)

Brief: Add a single blocker that’s fun, readable, and doesn’t kill flow.

Concept: Octo-Dad is stuck until he finds his kids. Some cards show Octo-Kids. When you play those cards, the minis swim to Dad. Collect them all → Octo-Dad leaves happily → the board unlocks.

Flow: Minis enter cheerful → Dad arrives concerned → play kid cards → exit animation → back to regular play.

Why it works: Clear goal, Cute narrative that fits Fishdom and is user friendly.

Constraints: One blocker per level, small-screen readability, low-cost sprites/Spine, plays nice with existing locks.

Deliverables: Research, UX beats, timings, and a lean art kit (Octo-Dad states, Octo-Kids, limbs, card back, bubbles). Ready for prototype.
