Sky Vegas is an arcade game of reaction and concentration, where seals with different symbols appear on the field. The target symbol is shown at the top of the screen and you only have to touch the seals that match it. Correct choices increase your score and combo, while mistakes or missing a target seal can take away a life.
In Sky Vegas, each level has a certain quota. The formula is 7 plus the level number, so the first level requires 8 correct seals and level 16 requires 23. After meeting the quota, 150 points are added multiplied by the current level.
The number of symbols increases gradually. The game starts with 3 symbols and adds another one approximately every two levels, up to a maximum of 8. At the same time, the number of seals that can remain active on the field also increases, from 3 at the beginning to a maximum of 8 in advanced levels.
Sky Vegas changes the target symbol after every four seals broken correctly. The new symbol is always different from the previous one. If there is no matching seal on the field after the change, the game immediately creates an object with the new symbol.
Each correct touch increases the combo by one. The base points use the formula 70 plus the level multiplied by 14. The result is then multiplied by the combo and the time left on the seal. An object caught quickly can give more points than the same object nearing expiration.
In Sky Vegas, touching an incorrect symbol resets the combo to zero and takes away a life. The incorrect seal is not removed immediately: after a short animation it can remain active if it has not yet expired. There is also a 380-millisecond protection that prevents the loss of several lives almost simultaneously.
If a seal expires, the consequence depends on its symbol. An object that does not match the target simply leaves the field without removing lives and without changing the level progression. If a target stamp expires, the combo immediately returns to zero and a life is lost. For this reason, the player must keep an eye not only on the desired symbol, but also on the stamps that are nearing the end of their time.
Sky Vegas has Easy, Medium, and Hard. Easy starts with 5 lives, while Medium and Hard start with 3 according to the logic of the code. The difficulty changes the residence time of the stamps, the pace of their appearance, and the probability that a new object will be the desired symbol. In Easy, there is more time to react, while Hard significantly shortens the intervals and makes the field more demanding.
Easy uses a time factor of 1.28 and about 48% chance for the target symbol. Medium uses the standard factor and 38%, while Hard uses 0.74 and only 28%. This means that in Hard, non-target stamps can appear more often and the correct symbol must be identified faster. However, the game ensures that there is a target on the field when it is completely absent, so that progress is not blocked by a series of unfavorable spawns.
In Sky Vegas, the base lifespan starts at 4300 milliseconds and decreases by 150 for each level after the first, before the difficulty factor. The spawn interval starts at 980 milliseconds and decreases by 32 per level. The size of the seals also gradually decreases from around 74dp to a minimum of 48dp.
When a seal has less than about 28% of its time left, its appearance changes to indicate that it is close to expiration. This provides a visual cue that helps decide which object to grab first.
Sky Vegas supports Pause and Resume. During a pause, the game loop stops and the seals are deactivated. After Resume, the timeouts, spawns, and input limits are moved according to the time spent in pause, so the game continues from the same state.
The best score is automatically saved when the current score exceeds the previous record. After completing level 16, Sky Vegas enters the success state and displays the score and best. As you progress, more symbols and active seals are added, while the time decreases and requires increasingly precise reactions.
