UNICORN STREET

For years I've been wanting to create a game withing Google Streetview. The Google Streetview API was not made for it, but it can - to certain extend - defenitely be used for it. When I looked into the possibilities to make this, I found out the power and the versitality of the Google Streetview API. It's crazy, and with a lot creative thinking and coding it turned out to be possible.

I made a little proof of concept in 2012, called MapMan. It was sort of a Pacman game within Streetview. When I later worked at DigitasLBi in Amsterdam, we took MapMan to the next level and made the hero of the game into a Unicorn, who had to collect coins to survive, while fighting off Space Invaders that attacked him. Although this game is really quite ridiculous, it does show what you can achieve with some creativity and coding.
