Reach

Objective reach · core

The objective is a defined point – spatial (a place, a finish line) or as a threshold (a value, a status). Reached or not is binary; the path there is open.

Design question – Is there a clear point in your game – a place or a mark – whose reaching fulfils the task?

Reference example – Super Mario Bros.: reaching the flagpole at the end of the level. Celeste: reaching the summit. Snakes and Ladders: being the first to arrive on the last square.
