What it does

Inspired by Zen gardens, Orbu is an AR game with engaging slingshot mechanics. Players transform their surroundings and embark on a journey over seasons, guiding their Orbu creatures -- Tanuki (racoon dog), Noko (turtle) and Konkon (fox) -- through a series of obstacle courses, leading them to their spiritual homes. Where will Orbu take you?

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
