Project Overview:

We created four Throwback Party mobile games to celebrate each new Krispy Kreme flavour, inspired by classic arcade games from the 1990s. These addictive games ran across Instagram and Facebook, featuring leaderboards that tracked players' high-scores and offered top players a chance to win a year's supply of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Key Features:

  • Retro Pixel Art: Classic graphics used in each game, reminiscent of the 8-bit era.
  • AI-Powered Bots: CNN TensorFlow.js bots adapted gameplay difficulty based on player behaviours.
  • Multitouch Canvas: Interactive touch-based controls enabled players to control their characters.

Tech:

  • Phaser.js: A popular open-source framework for creating engaging web and mobile games.
  • Pixel Art: Classic retro-style graphics used to create visually appealing game environments.
  • CNN TensorFlow.js: AI-powered bots that learn player behaviours to adapt gameplay difficulty.
  • Multitouch Canvas: Enables interactive touch-based controls on mobile devices.
  • PWA (Progressive Web App): A version of the game designed for an arcade cabinet, ensuring a seamless experience.
