Gift Launcher was a game I designed for McDonald’s. Unlike a regular mobile game, this game uses the Kinect and projects the game onto a tabletop/floor, making a regular surface in McDonald’s interactive and fun! Magic Table games range from 1-6 players, and 1-8 players can play Magic Floor games!
Each quadrant has a launcher that they can drag to aim and tap to shoot. They must launch coloured presents to characters that pop out of the snow. The game scrolls from left to right so the player can reach all parts of the screen, making it more challenging. Each character will have a coloured glow that will match with a present. The player is awarded a point if a successful match is made. If an unsuccessful match is made, the player will lose a point. If they miss a character completely, their score is unaffected. A little board in the corner of the screen will tell the players which present colour is coming next so they can plan where to aim next. Over time, the characters pop up and down from the snow much faster, and the screen moves faster. Bonus points can be earned by launching a gift to the same gift in the snow. Whoever scores the highest when the timer is up is declared the winner.
Alongside designing this game in 2 formats (circular & rectangular), I also created all the UI elements and all the in-game effects.
Game Link: This game is a Magic Tabletop game that is playable only in McDonald’s stores, so there isn’t a link to play it. However, you can read about the games and where to find a Play Area to try out the game in person! McDonald’s Happy Meal Games
