Bangalore Designer Turns His Traffic Problems into a Fun iOS Game

Bangalore is famous for its busy tech scene, but it’s also known for tough daily commutes. Every morning, people face slow traffic, broken roads, and sudden barricades. These commute challenges frustrate many people and make travel hard.

A UX Designer working at Zepto, Harin Nitisvaar, saw his daily stress as a chance to be creative. Instead of just complaining about traffic, he decided to make a game! 

• The game runs on iPhones and was built using Xcode, Apple’s tool. 
• Harin coded it in SwiftUI and focused on the funny, but real commute features: dodging potholes, weaving past cows, and avoiding barricades. 
• He even used ChatGPT to help design game assets and then polished them with Photoshop. 

Haring’s project turned everyday drives into a playful, relatable experience for people living in Bangalore.

Why does this matter? 

Today’s job market is fast and full of distractions. It's not enough to just talk about your skills, you need something real to show. Creative projects like this is a perfect example of proof of work. 

They show employers that you are creative enough, can think differently, turn ideas into action, and solve everyday problems. In a world full of resumes and qualifications, a project based on your own life can really stand out.

This game is a fresh reminder: your own experiences can inspire you to work on great ideas. If you’re someone who faces challenges every day, whether it’s traffic, schoolwork, or something else, don’t just wish things were different. Think: “What if I could make something new from this?” You might build an app, write a story, make a film, or even creatively help your community.

We just hope the Harin’s story inspire an idea in you. Start with what you know, follow your curiosity, and create something uniquely yours. 

All the best from Team Fueler.
