Candy Dash is a fast-paced collecting game where the player moves around the scene to collect candy while trying to score as many points as possible before time runs out.
There’s a twist though — not all candy is collectible! Some candy will cause problems, so the player must decide what to collect and what to avoid.

A similar project you could create
Create your own collectable game: – Keep track of score and create win or lose conditions. – Add multiple types of good, bad, and bonus collectables with different effects and point values. – Change the colour of collected items instead of deleting them.
Collectable mechanics like this are used in many popular games, can you think of any?
