Integrated Gyroscope as main interaction system in a videogame for Mobile Devices

Abstract

Flip Blocks is a puzzle game for mobile devices where different shaped pieces will fall from the upper side of the game board and will slowly move towards the bottom. The player will have to move and rotate the pieces in order to make them fit in the board and complete lines. Pieces are built of 4 blocks each with different shapes. The pieces can stack up until they reach the top of the board, in which case it means Game Over for the player. By completing one or more lines, the player’s score will be increased, and the completed lines will disappear, making all the blocks above the erased lines fall one line. The goal of the player is to keep playing for as long as possible by deleting lines and get the highest score.
