The idea was to release 4 casual mobile games before the launch of the LEGO MOVIE. The games were to be embedded into the McDonald’s Happy Meal app.
The LEGO MOVIE™ Good Cop is a shooter game. It is cross-platform and runs on iOS and Android devices.
The player uses his mobile device as a sight to destroy enemies and obstacles. He controls the sight using a gyroscope to direct the shot right at the target.
Hitting the target adds to the life balance and gives additional game time. The player's task is to earn as many points as possible before being defeated by the enemy.
