Student Computer Game with Makey Makey Controller
These students designed a computer game to be shown at the Tokyo Indie Fest and Tokyo Sandbox event in Akihabara.
The feature that really helped their game stand out was the use of bananas to play the game! Forward, jump, left and right are triggered by touching the appropriate banana. It did help that the game was highly addictive "just one more go.. honest... just one more! As you can see by those visitors playing the game. Attendees to the Indie Fest were given free game tokens on entry, with the option to buy more. Our entry collected the most tokens! Well done boys and girls.

The Makey Makey kits are great. I have found I get a little nervous giving them to students under the ages of about 11 unless under close supervision. The small parts are little fiddly and are not as well built as the Lego students are used to.
Tokyo Sandbox - returns after Covid to showcase the latest and greatest indie developer games.
