Line Wobbler is a one-dimensional dungeon crawler game with a unique wobble controller made out of a door-stopper spring and a several meter long ultrabright LED strip display. The entire game runs on an arduino, including sound, particle effects and 60+fps.

It's been exhibited in quite a few places now (such as the Experimental Gameplay Workshop at GDC 2015, Burning Man 2015, London, Chicago and Oslo) and won two prizes at the AMAZE Awards 2015 in Berlin.

Line Wobbler has won the Game Design Award at IndieCade 2015 in Los Angeles, and the Best Game Design, Best Presentation, and the Audience Awards at Sense Of Wonder Night at the Tokyo Game Show 2016.

A special festive two player 25 meter Christmas tree version has been built for Kings Cross Station in December 2017, there's a dedicated page for it here.

Line Wobbler is part of the major V&A exhibition Videogames: Design/Play/Disrupt, running now until the 24th of February 2019 at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London!
