A Web Game for the PBSKids Odd Squad Series that teaches kids about the ancient art of counting and comparing numbers as a means of helping to eliminate an outbreak of odd creatures roaming around the Odd Squad Headquarters.

Players are given a special expandable gadget that resonates with the exact power signature of any oddity. If they can collect the same amount of power pellets to match the power of an oddity, they can send that creature back from whence it came.

BACKGROUNDS

SPIDER CAT

I used FlipNote Studio on my Nintendo DSi to sketch out the Spider Cat's movement before bringing it into Adobe Animate to be fully rendered. I found the tiny screen of the DSi was a great way to keep things simple in the early rough stages.

USER INTERFACE

The Math Advisors wanted to avoid confusion when counting 100x pellet crates by making sure that players could count every single pellet if they needed to. Unfortunately the aesthetically pleasing square crates above had to be replaced by longer rectangular versions.
