  1. Bug Smash Sam Mendenhall

  2. Objective • Smash as many cockroaches as you can using the tangible tools • Avoid smashing the ladybugs • Get high score after several waves of bugs Masher Flashlights

  3. Gameplay • The screen is darkened out until a flashlight is placed down to illuminate a part of it • To smash a roach, you must trap them under a tangible and twist • Cockroaches will move to avoid both the tangibles and lights, so smash quickly

  4. Motivation • Make a simple, engaging casual game • Make use of tangible objects • Leverage psychological factors • Insectophobia • Weirdly satisfying feeling when smashing a tricky roach • Put in sounds/visuals to give a more visceral impact • Make multiplayer • Easy due to table platform

  5. Motivation • Just placing tangibles to smash things not good enough • Leads to “vacuuming” instead of smashing • Added twist gesture to interaction • To make the user more careful, added avoidance of ladybugs as a main feature • To add yet another layer of interaction, added flashlight interaction • To add challenge, made insects react to smashing tangibles and light sources

  6. Difficulties • Development machine way different from testing platform • Virtually impossible to get a decent score on table simulator • Tracking sometimes dodgy • User overestimates ability to track twist gesture

  7. Taking it further • Additional tangible weapons • Roach motels? • Bug spray? • Bigger variety of bugs • Bossroach, must work together and use all weapons • Better splat effects Happy Smashing!
