Description

Balloon Pop is a fun augmented reality game featuring a ground portal that spawns party balloons into your world. Play as a mean looking spiky balloon, use drag control to guide your player balloon around the environment. Pop as many party balloon as possible, being careful to only go for the smaller ones. Anything bigger than you and the game is over.

A sample project featuring the basic eat to grow mechanic can be found here Eat to Grow.

Game play

The game opens with an instruction screen, after which the user can tap to place the balloon portal, introducing the Spiky balloon into the world, with the party balloons following shortly. Dragging around on the AR ground guides the player balloon to move around the space. At the top of the screen you will see your current score, the amount of time left and the current 'gravity direction'. You can use this to change whether the balloon is floating up or sinking down.
