A pinball installation taking young and old for a ride through the jungle, inspired by the adventure movies of the 80โs and 90โs such as Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and Jumanji.
We mixed gaming and exercise, aiming to make children between the age of 6 and 12 as well as their teacher, parent or companion excited about our installation. Bananaflip brings all generations together in an interactive game, using a big banana to control the flippers.
Design & Development
Players control an inflatable banana that they can move up and down to control the flipper within a pinball machine. The goal is to progress through the game by using the banana to hit targets like a dangerous crocodile and overcome obstacles within the machine to find a hidden gem. ๐๐ฎ๐
Banana Flip is designed for kids between the ages of 6 and 12 and is meant to be both fun and educational. One of the key learning objectives of the game is to introduce children to the concept of virtual pinball games. This was part of our bachelorthesis as Stef and I were creative duo. We made this possible with Arduino and Phaser.js. ๐จโ๐๐ฉโ๐
