2009 Vertigo iPhone App
Video of prototype 2 - gameplay successfully working.
The gameplay prototype was programmed using PhoneGap, CSS and javascript - jquery & processing js.
Concept
Vertigo is a multi-player game where people can play balancing games against other people connected to the app. People can join existing rooms or create their own in the lobby to start versing other players.
Game Play
Your character and other player characters stand on a board, which is balanced on top of a mountain. The aim of the game is to maintain your balance while other obstacles, such as rock throwing, bird poo (wipe screen to clean white splotch) or windy weather attempt to break your concentration.
To play, users would balance their characters by tilting the iPhone (relies on Y accelerometer). The last player that remains balanced on their board wins the game. The winner of each game round wins a certain number of points as a reward, and these allow users to buy better boards and clothing items for their avatar.
