Ricky Wong on Taplay

After having played the series of Tappi Bear games made by Taplay, I managed to get an interview with one of the games designers Ricky Wong.  I asked him about developing apps and the Taplay game series.



What got you into making apps?    
We like to play games alot, I think that is the reason 
why most developers make games. 


The Tappi Bear series of games is not only cute but also highly
addictive. What was the inspiration behind it?
There are a few secrets that we use in designing Tappi Bear games

1) Easy to control, players no need to see the instructions.    
2) Easy to play but hard to be advance.


3) Target for kill time games, each game plays in only 1-3 minutes





4) Colorful theme/items


I think these are the elements to make the game highly addictive!

The Tappi Bear collections 1 and 2 are both packed with content and
achievements, why did you decide to release the individual games in
collections?                       
At the beginning of this project, we planned to make a series 
of standalone mini games. But after few games were released, some players 
suggested that we have an All in 1 version. So we decided to pack them up 
into a collection. 



All of the Tappi bear games offer a completely different game style,
which is your personal favourite Tappi Bear game? 
I like Kung Fu Battle and Tap Tap Jump!

Will we be seeing more Tappi Bear in the Future?
Yes of course, we try to launch new game/app every month. And 
we just submitted a new photo snap application for Tappi Bear. You can 



adding Tappi Bear icons in your snap shots.
