Choosing a Genre and Style

·course·2026-06-12

After you've given TupicGame your idea or photo, you choose a genre and style. This decision shapes how your game plays and how it looks, so it's worth a moment's thought — though there's no wrong answer, and experimenting is part of the fun.

What a genre is

A genre is the kind of game you're making — the basic way it's played. Different genres lead to very different experiences, even from the same starting idea. TupicGame offers a wide range of genres so you can find the one that fits what you're going for.

What style adds

While genre defines how the game plays, style influences how it feels and looks — the overall mood and visual character. The same genre can feel playful, intense, retro, or sleek depending on the style you choose.

How to choose

Think about the experience you want players to have:

  • Want something fast and exciting? Pick a genre and style built around speed and reflexes.
  • Want something relaxing? Choose a calmer, more laid-back style.
  • Matching a moment? Pick a style that fits the trend, season, or brand you're building around.

If you're unsure, just go with whatever sounds appealing. You can always create another version with a different genre to compare.

The same idea, many games

This is one of the most powerful things about TupicGame: a single idea or photo can become many different games depending on the genre and style you select. Don't be afraid to try a few combinations to see which one you like best.
