Touch-controlled robotic arm game optimized for iPhone 6, featuring conveyor belt food grabbing mechanics with time pressure.
Touch-controlled robotic arm grabbing food items from multiple conveyor belts
About the Project
I was contracted to remake this existing game in Unity, specifically to improve scaling for the new iPhone 6 and address various technical issues in the original version. The game challenges players to control a robotic arm using finger movements on iPad/iPhone to grab food items from three moving conveyor belts within a limited time. The gameplay features a strategic scoring system where different food items carry varying point values, while trick items with negative values must be avoided. The project successfully modernized the game's technical foundation while preserving the engaging core mechanics that made the original popular.
