Candy Flick
Game Description:
Candy Flick is one of iOS game that uses Augmented Reality as its new feature. It is a game based on the popular game Cut The Rope which developed by ZeptoLab. Just as Cut The Rope, your aim in the Candy Flick is to feed candy to Om Nom, a cute little green monster that just love candy.
Augmented Reality (abbreviated AR), is the new technology that is currently getting more popular through the community. AR is the combination between reality with virtuality, real world with data that has been generated through the computer. ZeptoLab has successfully and uniquely utilized the AR in their game which brings people’s attention on this game. Moreover, 3D object that is used in AR brings more attractiveness on the game itself.
How to play:
To play the Candy Flick, you should have the AR marker which could be printed on top of paper or having your other device to show the image and you can direct your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch to the image and Voila~, Om Nom will appear in front of you on top of the image.

After you see Om Nom, you could start the game. On top of your screen, you see 5 circles. Each of the circle represents each of your turn. There are 5 turns you can play for each game. For each turn, you can have different score. The farther the distance between you and Om Nom, the higher score you can get. Of course, you can only get the score if Om Nom gets the candy. If you failed to feed Om Nom, you lose the score. To feed Om Nom, just swipe your finger across the screen with the correct angle and speed. On your last turn, the candy you feed to Om Nom will be special since it has double score.

How to win:
Winning the game would be by finishing your turn with highest score which could be achieved by having farther distance with the Om Nom. The distance between you and Om Nom could be as far as the Om Nom is still captured by your camera.
Game aspects:
Since AR is a new technology, people would like to play this game. Moreover, Om Nom in 3D is too cute to be true. You can see Om Nom from different point of view with all of the expression Om Nom has. This is a simple but addictive enough for me. Perhaps one thing that could be add to this great game is the substituion of candy with other food for Om Nom as the Cut The Rope has provided which are the cupcakes and donuts.
