Tap Box Games - Mobile Application Design & Development

TapBox is a mobile arcade party game built with React Native/Expo featuring fast-paced mini-games, character customization, and competitive tournament modes.
🎮 Core Concept
TapBox brings the classic arcade party game experience to mobile. Players compete in quick, reflex-based mini-games either solo, with friends, or in tournament series. The game features geometric character avatars (circles, squares, hexagons, triangles) that players can customize with unlockable hats earned through dedication and skill.

Features & What's to Come!

A mobile-first arcade of simple, highly replayable mini-games. Play alone or with 2-8 people in the same room!
Think of it as "party games + brain games in one app" — simple visuals (shapes, colors), but smart mechanics.

🚀 Planned Features

Series Mode 🏆

Rapid-fire tournament through multiple games
Concept: Play a series of 3-7 games back-to-back. Total scores accumulate across all games. Between rounds, see standings and get instructions for the next game.
Features:
Game Queue: Pick which games to include or randomize
Cumulative Scoring: Total points across all games
Standings Board: See rankings between each game
Instruction Modals: Quick rules recap before each game starts
Bots: Add AI players to fill empty slots
Finals Bonus: Last game worth 2x points
Flow:
Create Series → Select games → Invite players (or add bots)
Game 1 → Results → Standings
Instruction Modal for Game 2
Game 2 → Results → Standings
... repeat ...
Final Standings → Winner crowned!
