Overview

Snapchat AR Runner Game is a single-player racing game built entirely in augmented reality for Snapchat. Players race through a dynamic AR environment, navigating obstacles and competing for the best time. The game runs directly inside the Snapchat camera, with no app download required.

What I Built

Real-time AR racing gameplay that blends seamlessly with the player's physical environment
Touch-based controls for intuitive navigation during the race
Obstacle system with increasing difficulty to keep gameplay engaging
Scoring and progression mechanics to encourage replayability
Optimized performance for smooth gameplay on mobile devices

Technical Stack

Lens Studio for AR scene building, asset management, and camera integration
JavaScript for game logic, controls, collision detection, and scoring system
3D assets and environment design built to run efficiently within Snapchat's AR framework

Process

This was a personal project developed under my creative studio DMG (Dream. Make. Gold.). I designed and developed everything from scratch: concept, 3D environment, game mechanics, and final deployment on Snapchat.
The main challenge was keeping the gameplay fluid and responsive within the constraints of Snapchat's Lens Studio platform, which has strict performance limits compared to traditional game engines.
