Micronauts by ted

made by ted for Ludum Dare 50 (COMPO)

Micronauts is some old-fashioned arcade fun that happens right in your living room... or wherever you happen to be at the time!

Defend Captain Baja and the Micronauts from the B.A.T. squadron as they seek to colonize MEGASPACE. Lots of tappity-tappity blaster action... the original boomer shooter made modern!

In a first for me, this is a game that runs on Snapchat. So you have to use the Snapcode to play it, or search for "Micronauts 48h" in Lens Explorer. I've also posted a playthrough, for those you who'd rather see it that way.

Enjoy!!! Sorry about my color choices: I am a terrible graphic designer and apparently my palette comes from Dunkin Donuts. That was not intentional. That's kind of spooky!

NOTE: This requires a LiDAR phone. If I return to this, I'll add non-LiDAR support.

WOW! Blown away by how cool this is. Have played AR games before but I didn't realize you could do this with a Snapcode. Really cool potential here.

As for the game, the tap to shoot was incensing for me only firing on about 25% of my taps. Could be due to the phone losing track of the ground plane because I was not in an ideal AR gaming area.

Excellent work! 5 stars for innovation for sure.

Really cool game, didn't expect to se an AR game here let alone a snapchat game!
Fun game and a really creative way to make a game for this theme.

Great work!
