Your browser is the game console. Your smartphone is the gamepad. AirConsole is FREE!

It's time to round up your friends for the latest multiplayer action. We're launching AirConsole with six awesome games: Hit Parade, Tic Tac Boom, PolyRacer, AirShields, QuickMinds and PadPoker. Check it out!


You should learn that on HN you don't need marketing speech to get your message delivered.

You could try giving some insight about the technical stack you are using, challenges you have been facing and things that are more appealing to technical people.


AirConsole game developer here - A colleague and I made a game called Hit Parade which you'll find in the store. We work with Unity 3D, using it's webGL export. One challenge for me personally was optimising the game enough so it would run smoothly even on older computers.


Here is the link to our developers page: http://developers.airconsole.com/#/


I am an engineer at AirConsole and we are soon gonna write about some tech stuff too. We were just busy with the launch and all that stuff and wanted to let you know what we are here ;)


And it's NSFW in that it makes that hellish noise without warning.


Love the idea! Been thinking about this myself for a while. Not having tested this fully, how well does this work in a chromecasted tab?


Just tested it, I see no difference. I agree a very good integration of technologies.

Similarly, my LG TV is using my smartphone touch screen as the smart remote control.

Slowly, we will be able to control/play everything from our smartphones or smart watches. My pet peeve: remote controlled washing machine.
