Duck Rescue
visionOS Game • Team Project
Overview
DuckRescue is an immersive visionOS game that puts players in the role of a duck rescuer, navigating through a track of pipes in the canalization. Move the Duck along the path but be careful! If you touch the walls or take too much time, a dark entity will catch up to you and the duck will be lost forever.
Key Features
- Immersive Space within the user's real environment
- Intuitive controls for easy navigation
- Engaging gameplay mechanics
- Multiple levels with increasing difficulty
Technical Details
DuckRescue was built using SwiftUI and RealityKit for a modern, responsive interface native to Apple Vision Pro. The app uses Hand and Eye Tracking to control the duck's movement for the most intuitive experience possible. Levels consist of building blocks that are put together and composed using JSON.
Development Challenges
This project started development before the Apple Vision Pro was released, which made it challenging to test and iterate on the game mechanics. The team had to rely on the simulator and early developer tools to refine the gameplay. Almost no documentation was available, so we had to figure out how to use the new APIs ourselves.
