'Who's Got Game' winner channels Pokémon Snap with Sasquatch photo game

SAN FRANCISCO — The GamesBeat 2014 conference came to a close on Tuesday by announcing the winner of its “Who’s Got Game” Innovation Showdown — and it was a narrow decision.

Seven different companies took the stage to explain how their ideas will reshape the gaming market, but only The Tap Lab can claim “total world domination.” The studio showed off its new mobile game, Bigfoot Hunter, in front of an audience rich with games-industry experience and a four-person panel of experts. Despite seeing three-dimensional audio technology and a mobile game that promises to bring competitive shooting to mobile, the judges went with Bigfoot Hunter, which has players moving their phone around to snap pictures of forest critters as well as mythical beasts like Bigfoot and a yeti.
