Squish!

Inspiration

Suika Game took the world by storm. We thought: what if we brought that satisfying fruit-merging magic to AR on Snapchat?

What it does

Drop fruits. Match pairs. Watch them squish into bigger fruits. Chase your high score while wearing a fun fruit hat on your face. Simple, addictive, delightful.

How we built it

Lens Studio + JavaScript. Physics-based gameplay with custom collision detection. Face Generator for the AR effect. Kiro AI as our coding copilot throughout development.

Challenges we ran into

2D physics in a 3D engine. Fruits drifting sideways. Game over triggering too early. Getting the "squish" feel just right. Each bug taught us something new.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Smooth merge animations. Satisfying physics. A working danger zone system. Face cam preview showing your fruit-hat selfie. All under 8MB for Snapchat.

What we learned

AR game dev is tricky but rewarding. Physics tuning is an art. Lens Studio's API has depth. AI-assisted coding accelerates everything.

What's next for Squish!

Multiplayer battles. More fruit types. Seasonal themes. Leaderboards with friends. World domination, one squish at a time. 🍒🍇🍉
