Bombs Away!

A webcam-controlled backyard balloon defense game: move your head to aim, then fire with a mouth gesture, blink, or a well-timed “Pew!”

Playable demo Webcam controls MediaPipe React

Defend the Backyard

Incoming balloons cross a layered backyard. Keep the reticle on target, pop the wave, and stop the backyard from being overrun.

The interaction is deliberately physical: your head drives the camera view while a facial gesture or voice cue fires the launcher.

Built for Play

  • Front-camera face tracking with a guided movement calibration.
  • Head-coupled parallax that makes the backyard respond to movement.
  • Three fire modes: open mouth, long blink, or voice.
  • Progressive waves, upgrades, and a colorful balloon-defense loop.

The demo asks for camera access and processes the tracking interaction in-browser.
