Hi peeps,
I’ve made a game. It’s a variation on the classic Whack-a-mole game but in an AR version that uses the plane tracker.
So you tap the moles as they pop up but don’t hit a bomb.
I invite you to test it out and if you encounter problems let me know what happened along with your phone model.
Post withdrawn? leaving it as is for now, i’ll disappear in 24h
For what it’s worth I tested the game, worked great 
The only thing I’d say is maybe add a little flame animation on the bomb because at the start I hadn’t noticed the difference between the harmless moles and the rest.
Maybe with more playtesting I’d say limit the width/area in which the moles can spawn, I found myself often rotating my phone and thus had a sense of poor visibility of what was going on.
Love the style though!
Thank for the feedback. Definitely some good points. It is actually intentionally that I want the player to rotate the phone to add a bit more difficulty. But I see your point I’ll reconsider that bit.
Here’s a new link if anyone wants to try. I add some more visual clues that hopefully help the player.
Man, test links have been so unreliable lately. I get “effect is unavailable”
I have a hunch that if you submit the effect to the spark hub (before publishing), the test link generated from the dashboard should be longer-lasting and hopefully more reliable than the one that Spark generates.
I think the test links break every time there is a New version of Spark.
Well i went ahead and published the game and you can try it here:
It uses dynamic instancing and the rest of the logic is scripted too.
First I wanted the moles 360 degrees around the user but now I actually prefer this way where they are in front of the user.
I think this little game is one of few games using the plane tracker.
This link works! I think it could use a tap-to-place step. For my phone at least, the plane tracker almost never sticks to the surface I want it to unless I do tap-to-place.
