Exploring FaceKit and Interactivity: How Small Features Drive Engaging Gameplay on Upit š¤³
š Face-first fun: What is FaceKit? Upitās FaceKit lets creators design games that use facial expressions, head movements, and voice as controls. With no extra hardware, you can raise your eyebrows to jump, tilt your head to steer, or hum a note to build a bridge. FaceKit is built directly into Upitās no-code toolset, making advanced interactivity easy to use and fun to play withāeven for non-coders. š§ Why it works: A small feature with big impact FaceKit isnāt just a gimmick. It enhances gameplay by: - Immersing players through emotional and physical engagement. - Adding social fun, perfect for party games and shareable clips. - Enabling accessible play for users who benefit from non-traditional controls. - Encouraging creative mechanics that feel genuinely fresh. When facial input is tied naturally to gameplay (like humming to solve puzzles or grinning to trigger effects), it creates memorable, laugh-out-loud moments. Itās the kind of feature that delights players and gives creators new tools to experiment with. š® In action: Standout FaceKit-powered games Here are four games that show FaceKitās creative potential: š Troll Face Kit by @djam A face-reactive meme generator that tracks your expressions and overlays meme-style filters. Players are encouraged to record and share their hilarious results. It won the FaceKit Game Contestāand itās easy to see why. Play Troll Face Kit š /@djam/play/KrdP47CKzv š¶ PitchBridge by @benjaminsen You hum to build bridgesāthe pitch of your voice determines the bridgeās length. Itās part puzzle, part performance, and pure FaceKit chaos. A brilliant use of voice input for real-time gameplay. Play PitchBridge š /@benjaminsen/play/3dG5tADwAz š” Bubble Blower Tycoon by @blackwidowink Control a pufferfish with your cheeks! This idle game used FaceKit to add humor and immersion to a simple mechanicāpuff to blow bubbles and build your underwater empire. Play Bubble Blower Tycoon š /@blackwidowink/play/1Kh07gCX_E š ļø Best practices: Tips for creators using FaceKit - Align input with theme. Face control should feel like a natural extension of your game idea. - Provide clear guidance. Help players calibrate and understand how theyāre being tracked. - Include fallback controls. Not everyone can (or wants to) use a camera at all times. - Test for fun. FaceKit works best when it creates unexpected laughs or āahaā momentsāso watch people play and iterate! š A feature that fits Upit FaceKit is a perfect example of Upitās mission: make game development fun, fast, and open to everyone. It doesnāt demand technical expertiseājust a good idea and a sense of humor. And thatās what makes FaceKit such a powerful (and fun) part of the Upit ecosystem. Want to see what your face can do? Try one of the games above, or remix your own!

I love this kind of posts where we can highlight our amazing creators and their achievement <3
Thanks for the mention! Iāve noticed Bubble Blower Tycoon mentioned a few times lately, and I was embarrassed to realize that it was in the non FaceKit version. Iāve republished it with the original FaceKit integration.
Hello. I confirm that facekit opens a new range of possibilities that would be difficult to integrate otherwise. Iād like to mention also one of my favourites, the impressive Dragonās Breath: /@blackwidowink/play/eyL9HytHDO Itās an excellent example of seamless facekit integration 𤯠And itās also by @blackwidowink š
