Team Tilt(ed). | Devpost

Inspiration

Initially games like super monkey ball where an inspiration to us, but later on in the project asymmetrical multiplayer games such as keep talking and nobody explodes guided our design.

Another inspiration is using games as a tool to encourage physical activity in a subtle way. Creating experiences that use movement have the positive benefit of being physically active, although our concept isn't physically strenuous it does involve some movement! Platforms such as Snap are a perfect way to create hyper casual experiences that can provide short bouts of physical activity in a fun manner! In this regards although health and fitness is an inspiration we believe it is more related to the interactive play track.

What it does

Team tilt(ed) is a movement based communication game. One player guides and times the other players movements describing what they see on the screen.

How we built it

Using lens studio mainly using body tracking and the physics system.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into two main challenges.

Firstly our initial aim was to make a super monkey ball esque game with horizontal platforms. Initial testing showed us that we couldn't get enough tilt from the player without causing issues with tracking which in turn cause the physics system to not work correctly. Due to this we make our experience vertical and restricted movements to the arms and leaning left and right only.

Second, it quickly became apparent that a player on their own couldn't play this as for body tracking to work correctly you have to be several feet away from the device, this made the phone screen too small to see.
