Technology advancement has not only made human’s life more convenient but also caused revolutionary changes of how electronic games are played. For instance, the introduction of Wii allows people to play games using body movements instead of traditional button controls.
The fish-netting game is a popular and nostalgic night market activity. Stand beside the fishpond, grab the net, and with abated breath, you carefully skim the water for the best target. But the fish will not just stay still. It is better to move faster when the right timing comes. Be careful of breaking your net or you’ll lose the big fish! Some people break their nets right away and are out of the game. But some of them are succeeded in bagging one in a matter of seconds!
But the fish-netting game is hard to find nowadays. Parents who are busy with works don’t have much time to take their children to the night market. Urban children have even fewer chances to enjoy the traditional night market. To let more people experience this memorable night market entertainment, we have developed the game called “GoGoFish”, where kids can experience the fun of traditional night market and adults can recall their childhood memories.
For a real-time-mode experience, we have combined the touch screen on smart-phones with G-Sensor technology. Players can immerse in the joy of fish netting by touching the screen to move their nets and tilting their phones to simulate the movement of netting the fish.
