In this paper, "Squid guys: Fall Bean Edition", a 3D third-person android game is developed. It has multi modes, each mode has its own rules and game mechanics. The user must clear all the modes to beat the game. In this game, the user will compete against bots as well as timer in a series of challenges. Players are represented as jellybean-like figures, moving around a three-dimensional playing field, with additional moves such as jumping, or diving to assist the game play. There are different skins/avatar available for the player to choose from. One can unlock new characters by spending some in-game coins. There is also a shop menu where the user can purchase coins or watch advertisements to get rewards.
Inspiration was taken from "Squid Game" which is a Korean series. various levels from it have been introduced, such as Tug of War, Fake Mirror and Red-Light Green-Light. It will be interesting to find out if an educational game can be helpful in learning and learn more about how it is perceived by its users. The whole idea behind this project is to combine different game levels and models to make new levels in the game.

Literature Reviews
In every case, our goal is to solve a particular mentally challenging levels or accomplish a particular mentally challenging task. Android games are today an important part of most children's leisure lives and increasingly an important part of our culture as a whole. Android games are a growing part of our culture. The android games have been too simplistic in comparison to competing video games. Logical thinking and problem solving. Most android games requires use of logical thinking and one's problem-solving skills. Solving each level often requires strategic and creative thinking. Especially with some mentoring help, students can transfer their increasing logic and problem solving to other situations. Before the project starts, existing knowledge on game design should be researched. A game will be designed, made and released into the market for this project. In order to increase chances of success, the principles of game design will be examined, and taken into account during the design process of the game. First lets define what is a game? French sociologist Roger Caillois, defined a game as an activity that must have the following characteristics: - Free : something which the player is not forced to engage in, in which event play will immediately lose the characteristic of an attractive and happy diversion. -. Isolated: circumscribed within the limitations of a precise time and place and agreed upon in advance. -. Uncertain: whose progress and result cannot be determined in advance, a certain latitude in the necessity of improvising being inevitably left to the initiative of the players. -. Unproductive : creating neither commodities, wealth, nor any kind of new element and, with the exception of a transfer of property among the circle of players, ending in a situation identical with that which prevailed when the game began. -. Unregulated : subject to the conventions that suspend ordinary laws and temporarily institute new rules that alone count. -. Fictitious : accompanied by a specific awareness of a second reality, When talking about games and design, two things should be taken into account. Ludology and Narratology. There is a debate about Ludology vs Narratology in games. The narratological stance is that games should be understood as novel forms of narrative and can thus be studied using theories of narrative (Murray, 1997; Atkins, 2003). The ludological position is that games should be understood on their own terms. Ludologists have proposed that the study of games should concern the analysis of the abstract and formal systems they describe. In other words, the focus of game studies should be on the rules of a game, not on the representational elements which are only incidental (Aarseth, 2001; Eskelinen, 2001; Eskelinen, 2004). unlock various characters and levels . We have also added feature of timer in the game to make it more competetive and difficult to win ,Each level has to be clear in a particular time to reach next level.

WE have successfully developed a 3D android based game - Squid guys using unity and blender and published it in google play store with advertisements and analytics. We have explored whether the feasibility of android games in learning theory based
subjects can produce positive effects in teaching processes by implementing a game based on the Unity3D engine. We have taken inspiration from Squid games which was a Korean series have introduced various levels from it such as tug of war ,fake Mirror and Red Light Green Light . It will be interesting to find out if an educational game can be helpful in learning, and learn more about how it is perceived by its users. The whole idea behind this project is to combine different game levels and models to make new levels in the game.
