The Backseat Games is a time-killing app you play while on a move or waiting in a line.
The mobile game industry is rapidly growing and evolving. Yet, it’s not only fueled by the newest technologies like AR games. It also rethinks the concept of good old backseat games, putting them into a user-friendly mobile wrapper.
Challenge
The project is a digital adaptation of books by Michael and Lene Alfa Rist. Along with rolling out an e-Version of the copy, they’ve decided to launch a mobile Product.
Turning the book into the cross-platform application requires adjusting games to mobile behavioral patterns of users. It’s crucially important to allow users to easily find games, switch between them and catch the main idea at a glance.
The application is a step forward compared to the book. It not only requires a more catchy and detailed design but also enables much more interactivity.
Process
Since the Project has rather UI than tech challenges, it was estimated to take 8 weeks in total, including Scoping and Handover. To meet the deadlines Stormotion made up a team of 2 Developers, a Designer, and a Project Manager.
Pre-Project - 1 Week
Agile Development - 6 Weeks
Release - 1 Week
Solution
After an initial onboarding call our Designer prepared a set of UI/UX Mockups based on the card design principles to cover every screen in the app. We managed to make it both energizing and appealing as well as intuitively understandable even for kids.
To deploy the app simultaneously on iOS and Android devices we’ve chosen the React Native framework.
Before jumpstarting the development, Stormotion developers had another call with the Back Seat Games team to approve the Design and discuss key features and milestones.

Case studyClaudio Tesei
Head of Cloud Infrastructure @ Atlante
"We originally got in touch with Stormotion from our original app developer. And very soon we found real value in choosing Stormotion, because they previously had real valuable experience on the field – digital apps working in the realm of EV charging. So, it was really a no-brainer for us to to go with them."

"If you're thinking of going to Stormotion, you're going to have a very easy team to talk to, to communicate with, to understand what you want to do.

Case studyPietro Saccomani
Founder @ MobiLoud
"The Stormotion team quickly became our team for everything Native app-related. It would be hard to name all the things that we built over the many years we worked together, but overall, I think we had a good partner who was able to adapt the way we worked, and the way they worked. So that we could ultimately build a product that had the quality that we wanted and with the speed that we wanted."
Case studyMax Sheidlock
Product Manager @ Userlutions
"Given a tough budget and a lack of knowledge in our own engineering team, we quickly came to Stormotion. We had already worked together on previous projects, and I knew that, based on React Native, we could have one engineer responsible for it. That was just amazing because I could really focus on our customer side, knowing that the mobile application for the testers was in very good hands."

Case studyTino Marx
CTO @ CheckMyBus
"I highly recommend Stormotion as a service provider for app development. They're young, flexible, dynamic, creative and very fast. The cost of planning and implementation is also reasonable. As they use "pay as you go", have a good plan first – then the result also will be satisfactory."
