Godot Cartoony Puzzle Prototype

The goal is to craft a small, cartoony Godot prototype that proves out a logical-puzzle core loop. I will share a short design brief, reference videos, and a few mock-ups; from there the task is to translate the idea into a playable scene that clearly communicates whether the concept is fun and technically sound.

The prototype should be organised with a tidy scene-and-node hierarchy so that I can extend or discard pieces without hunting through spaghetti. All logic belongs in well-commented GDScript; keep functions short and naming consistent so future collaborators can step in instantly. Visual polish is deliberately light—simple shapes, bright colours, and snappy transitions are enough to sell the mechanic while keeping scope tight.

Deliverables
• A single Godot project folder that runs out of the box (Godot 4.x)
• One main scene showcasing the logical puzzle mechanic in a cartoony style
• Readable, commented GDScript for every custom node or manager
• A brief markdown or text report (1–2 pages) outlining
 – what feels solid in the current build
 – technical or design risks discovered
 – concrete next steps if the idea moves to full production

Acceptance criteria
1. The puzzle loop can be completed start-to-finish without errors.
2. Scene tree follows clear parent/child logic with reusable nodes.
3. No frame-time spikes above 10 ms on desktop test.
4. Code passes Godot’s built-in linter with no warnings.

I’ll review the report alongside gameplay to decide on green-lighting the fuller game, so concise insight is as valuable as the code itself.
