Swift · SwiftUI
Swift and SwiftUI power the iPhone app, with controls and graphics implemented in native code.
Context and challenge
An arcade experience designed for the vertical iPhone screen, with free spacecraft movement and space combat.
Keep the controls immediate and the action readable, while giving players a reason to return.
The solution
Players steer by dragging anywhere in the play area, keeping the ship visible. Automatic fire lets them focus on movement, targets and obstacles, while the hangar brings upgrades and customisation together.
What it includes
- Two-dimensional movement and relative touch controls.
- Asteroids, enemy drones and obstacles to dodge.
- Upgrades, missions and spacecraft customisation.
- Progress and the current run saved on the device.
Designing the interface
The play field, ship status and pause control have distinct roles. The hangar presents upgrade levels and costs in readable cards. The space-inspired palette belongs to the game and lives within its imagery.
