Gameplay Mechanics
There are two types of aliens. The twist: your gaze affects them differently. Look at your weapon to charge. Look at enemies to shoot. All control is done with your eyes, including aiming and looking around.
Hunters: Accelerate when you're watching. Look away to slow them down.
Shadows: Accelerate when you're not watching. Stare to slow them down.

My Learnings & Download
Alien Peekaboo started as an experimental gaze-controlled horror shooter using Tobii Eye Tracking. I learned how to integrate eye tracking input seamlessly into gameplay, adapting UI and mechanics for a hands-free experience. The biggest challenge was ensuring precise and intuitive gaze targeting without overwhelming the player. Balancing alien behaviors and power-ups under these constraints took a lot of iteration and testing.
