At first, Game Up seems to join a crowded marketplace of existing alarm clock apps but it has a twist. You can’t turn off the alarm until you play a little game. It ships with 2 games, Tic-Tac-Toe and Yank It, both easy games but just challenging enough to wake up a groggy person. One of the challenges of Game Up was ensuring that the visuals were elegant and the animations rich and smooth.
Game Up was developed under contract with Beakr Studios. Technologies include:
- Gesture Recognizers
- Reflection
- Flurry Analytics
- Container ViewControllers
- Rich Animations
- Proximity Sensor
- iPod music library access
- Notifications
Game Up can be downloaded from the App Store.
