Accelerometer Games: Space Invaders & Table Soccer aka Foosball


I seriously love games that take advantage of the acceration sensor in the Nokia N82. It brings a whole new dimension to mobile gaming and transforms the simplest games in something I'd play for hours. If playing Foosball (aka Table Soccer) or Space Invaders with the accelerometer sounds fun do you keep reading.

I talked about both of these games over at Symbian-Addict.com last week. Keep in mind both of these games are still in development stages & are not close to being finished.

First up is the popular S60 game AccererInvaders which is a simple Space Invaders clone. There aren't any high scores are saved games here's just launch and play. Great for killing time here & there. See the video below...

The Foosball Table Soccer game is only in the beginning stages of development, but the students who are working on it were nice enough to give us a preview of the game to play around with. Right now theres not much to it. You play with 2 players against one goalie and just keep trying to make shots. Hopefully they develop a full fledged game that has different levels and playing fields. See the video below...

What other ideas do you have for games & the accelerometer. I've always thought the popular game Block Breakers would be a perfect match for the accelerometer & the N82.

To play Invaders in landscape mode, turn the N82 BEFORE you start the game. That's it.
