Planet Licker
Use our experimental gaming peripheral to venture through a galaxy of flavor in Planet Licker- the world’s first tongue-controlled speed-runnning video game! Made for the international Ludum Dare 33 Game-Making Challenge.
Every lick of an ice pop sensor directs Planet Licker to the closest planet of the same flavor. Arrive at your destination and lick away to satiate your hunger quota! Can you carefully time your licks to navigate around mines and reach a new high score?
Planet Licker has been enthusiastically shown at the Game Developer’s Conference 2016 in San Francisco, NYU Game Center, and the Sheep’s Meow in New Jersey. As of 2022, the controller peripheral is undergoing further development.
“I just kept licking. And when I needed to lick more, I licked more.”
“Millions of years of evolution led to this moment”
“I guess my tongue was just born for Planet Licker”
“I think these guys just out-Japaned Japan.”
