Unlocking Items

I have decided I am going to change the way the game works when the user has correctly answered a question. Originally, once the user had answered a question correctly, an item on the beach became available instead of it being faded out with a red cross over it and they could move the item around the island. I am changing it slightly so that on the island screen there is a sticker book icon and when the user clicks on this, it displays a screen which looks like a sticker book and also the items that are available to unlock on that level but they will be greyed out. The sticker page will not take up all the screen, it will leave the left side of the screen so the user can still see the edge of the island. Once they have answered a question correctly, an item becomes available and they then have to drag the item from the sticker page and onto the island. I have decided to do this so it is more fun for the user because there is more interaction but it also gives the user a clearer idea of what they have to do in the game.

Above: The sticker page with the greyed out stickers that are available and also the edge of the island. On the edge of the island you can see the dotted outline of the starfish. This shows the user that this is where the starfish sticker goes once they have unlocked it.
