Take a look at the official LyteShot video:
- Assassin: Besides the option to play the classic rules of Assassin, game of ‘hunt or be hunted,’ Assassin starts by giving players options to set up timeframes, boundaries, special functionalities to make the game more complex (like respawning, late entry, cool-down clock, penalties, private or public options) and more. Players set their timers, receive their dossiers and mugshots, and then use the phone’s geolocation functionalities to find and eliminate their targets. Upon tracking and killing their opponent, LyteShot will automatically update the game status and immediately deliver the next target from the players left remaining in the game. The game ends when the last Assassin eliminates their last target.
- Besieged: A fantasy role-playing game (RPG), Besieged engages teams of players against one another by locating and securing territories that get more complex as the game continues. Players select the roles of warrior, wizard, or ranger — each a distinct class endowed with unique characteristics and abilities — and work cooperatively as a team to obtain and control more strategic objectives (“zones”) than the other team, earning them points over time. As gamers play through multiple matches, they earn experience points and abilities, advancing them with a persistent character, and leveling up to wield greater powers.
