Wibx GO | Studio Abacate
Engine: Unity | Language(s): C#, JavaScript/Node.js | Platform(s): Android, iOS
Geolocation-based game with Augmented Reality features made using Mapbox SDK and ARKit/ARCore through Unity’s AR Foundation package. Players can walk around the real world to catch frogs in traditional 3D or AR (like in Pokémon GO) and earn cryptocurrency in spots sponsored by brands that use the Wibx platform. Players can also customize their avatars, keep a record of captured frogs and engage in missions to win bonus cryptocurrency or real world goods. Developed for Wibx.
