The 'Johnny Test: Roller Johnny' game is the first iOS game that allows users to play via multiple screens. Created by creative agency Kolody and Teletoon Canada, the game uses Bluetooth to allow people to play together in teams by being able to share screens across multiple phones and tablets.
The Johnny Test: Roller Johnny game, based on the popular cartoon Johnny Test, involves racing in a roller derby, in which other players can join in as long as their Bluetooth-enabled device is detected nearby. Players can thus expand their game play to other phones and tablets (watch the video to see how this is done) to take on rivals as a team or explore new elements of the game together.
According to PSFK, Kolody is currently developing an update to the game that will let users share their screens through Wi-Fi.
