Go Go Bots | ustwo

After four years of working with Facebook on the foundational vision for their Facebook Gaming, the opportunity to work with them to create Go Go Bots was a gratifying opportunity to realize the goal we helped to define, by combining our gaming heritage with our UX expertise. The end result is a game that can be played instantly, connecting people through their shared passion for play. Learn more about the project and process on our site.

We collaborated with Facebook to build a flagship game that showcases the unique possibilities of the Facebook Gaming platform.

Taken all the way from paper prototypes to a delightful and shareable game, our goal was to engage players and inspire developers, with an emphasis on friendly competition and instant playability.
