Oh-No-UFO

Augmented Reality Game For The iPhone Written In Swift

Inspiration

The inspiration for this game is similar to brick breaker. Many levels but there is replay value because of the imbedded randomness.

Modes:

Seeing how far you can get going level by level like pacman

Win level by level each unlocking the next or some mutation of that

Features

Game Summary:

• An Arkit app where 3D UFOs perform different maneuvers while shooting lasers at the user. The user can Fireback and dodge the enemy lasers. Wave after wave of enemies (Mostly 3D UFOs) come until the Player takes too many hits and the game is over.

• During gameplay the Player gets points based on several factors; Time spent Playing, number of Enemy UFOs hit by player Lasers, and more.
