Mirage Money (Motion Controlled Game)

There just doesn't seem to be an end to applications and games which utilise the N95's accelerometer... and it's a good thing, because now we have a recreation of the famous "Mosquito" game (which used the phone's camera), Mirage Money! ...which now uses the N95's built in accelerometer.

“Mirage Money” includes two different mode. The first one is called “Real Mirage”.

This mode is partly virtual and partly real. The user must open the camera protector to let the game implement your real environment captured with the phone camera.
This looks amazing and it’s great fun to try to achieve the game’s target in your own environment: to collect as many coins as possible in a time of two minutes.

You can collect the two different kinds of coins, golden and silver ones, by “colliding” with them with your screen.

The other mode “Virtual Mirage” lets you play in a virtual 3D environment.

The 3D graphics look pretty impressive and it’s also great fun to play in this virtual world of meadows, hills and a blue sky.

The gaming principle is exactly the same as in “Real Mirage”. However, it’s easier to play in the virtual world, because you can really “move around” there. This is of course not possible in the real world: only the coins are moving to give the gamer an impression of movement.

The speed of how fast you are moving through the world can be changed: The little bar at the right shows the current speed…

which can be increased with a press on the “Up” key as you can see in the screenshot. Of course you can also slow the speed down again with a “Down” key press.

Mirage Money is a must have if you like accelerometer applications, not only because it is the one of the first games which uses motion control meaningfully. It’s great fun to collect money into your own living room or in a wonderfully looking virtual world!
