    Photobomb▲84

    just shipped my first ios game: photobomb, a party game for 3–8 players. similar to cards against humanity one player gets a prompt (ex: "bad posture"), everyone else digs through their camera roll to find the best matching photo under 40 seconds. The prompter picks their favorite photo and the player with that chosen phot wins the round, and you rotate until everyone's been the judge. bonus: if your photo gets screenshotted during the gallery , you score extra point. ;) its free, just need three friends and photos to share
