Overview
EyeToy Play: PomPom Party is a party game for the Playstation 2 EyeToy platform. The game is targeted at girls between years 10 and 15. The primary gameplay for this game is physically dancing using the pom-poms included, going for a cheerleader feel for the game. This game uses the EyeToy camera to track the pom-pom accesories. The pom-poms have two very explicit colors (pink and green) allowing them to be tracked by color. The game features a custom sound-track based on popular songs consisting of 25 tracks.
This game was created with a small team, of up to 13 people internally. I worked on this game from concept/pre-production until ship.
