Floor It! - real life video gaming
Floor It! is a revolutionary cross in toy genres. This game revolves around radio controlled toy cars that sense and react to their surroundings in a never before seen way. You can layout different “course conditions” which are actually plastic mats that the car can detect. When the car interacts with one of these road condition mats the appropriate action occurs - an ‘oil slick’ causes the car to spin out of control, a ‘water hazard’ drastically slows the car, and the ‘power up’ gives the car and extra boost in speed. These mats can be placed anywhere to provide a never ending amount of courses. Also, to further immerse the player, the car is controlled with a steering wheel that the user holds. Any tilt in direction will direct where the car is to go.
This game/RC car looks like it is currenly being developed for Mattel and was intended to be targeted towards 7-10 year old boys. While I understand the marketing strategy, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to purchase one (or several) of these for myself if these products ever make it to store shelves. In fact, with a little help from a friend of mine, we may be able to develop one ourselves
