Spaceforce - A gyroscope-based Snapchat lens game
Inspiration
We were inspired by retro arcade games. We wanted to deliver the same feel in an AR-based game. Rather than using buttons and joysticks, we use the gyroscope to control the spaceship movements.
What it does
Play and advance AR games by intuitively using the gyroscope - to control your spaceship. Users have to pan their phones to navigate the spaceship in the hostile terrain. Avoid incoming jets and space birds. Burst balloons to earn points. Don't forget to use the boost button to zoom past the environment.
How we built it
We design 2D and 3D elements - to give that retro feel to the game.
Challenges we ran into
Calibrating the gyroscope and aligning them to a straight path. We designed a boundary line and showcased a warning if the spaceship swayed away from the path.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Building an intuitive game - where the users find it very easy to understand how to control the spacecraft.
What's next
We would love to add more visual elements and capitalize on the additional cloud storage functionality.
