This is my favourite game we made at Ten Square Games.
Pokemon GO just started to gain popularity and we thought of jumping on the hype train. In two weeks we:
• Reverse-engeneered Pokemon GO throwing mechanics. This was really hella accurate. You could take the original side-by-side, do the same finger gestures in both apps and get the same throwing output <3.
• Reused some old assets from other developed games, recolored and retextured chibi animals from a tamagotchi-like game into a poke-ripoff.
• Published a working game on the App Store / Google Play.
The goal of the game was to… train your pokeball throws to get the perfect ones. We had to remove the game from the stores just a few weeks later, but the internet loved the game. Newssites called us “chinese developers” and named the game the most nightmarish poke-ripoff ever created <3.
