Splat A Worm

For Halloween, I decided to venture outside the realms of Unity and work on a Snapchat lens within a short amount of time. Collaborating with a designer, we developed a simple yet engaging game for users.

Game Description

• Concept: Worms come out of different parts of the user’s head, such as ears or eyes, and the player must squash them. The more worms they squash, the higher their score.

Development and Implementation

• Collaboration:
  • Worked closely with the designer to conceptualize and create a fun and interactive Halloween-themed game.
• Lens Studio and JavaScript:
  • Used Snapchat’s Lens Studio to develop the lens.
  • Implemented the game’s mechanics and interactions using JavaScript.
• Game Mechanics:
  • Created a system where worms appear from various parts of the user’s face.
  • Implemented touch interactions to allow users to squash the worms.
  • Developed a scoring system that increases with each worm squashed.

This project highlighted my ability to quickly adapt to new tools and environments, creating a fun and interactive experience outside of my usual Unity development work. You can see the lens in action on Snapchat.
