Is Santorini the only 3D game on BGA?

Post by 3ohms »

Santorini was the first game I played on BGA. I've only been a user for a few months. Played dozens of games now, but every single game I play is definitively in 2 dimensions only. For the most part this is not an issue. Most work perfectly fine as is in 2D. Yet, there are some, like Takenoko, and a few others that I think would work as well as Santorini does in 3D.

Are there any others on BGA? :geek: Cheers.

I don't know of many other 3D games on BGA.

Santorini uses a technology called WebGL to make the game in full 3D. I'm not aware of other BGA games using this.

Dragon Keeper and Taluva are in 3D but use an older technology that's less intuitive to control and can perform poorly on some devices.

Photosynthesis has a button on the game board to switch to a 3D view, but it's not really the same. I'd call this more like 2.5D.
