A Bengaluru-based software developer has launched an iPhone game that captures the daily chaos of commuting in the city with the help of AI. Titled Mission Office, the game was created by Harin Nitisvaar using ChatGPT to generate assets, with final edits done in Photoshop.
Built using SwiftUI in Xcode, the game is now available for download on the iOS App Store.
I made a mobile game.

Drawing from his own rides to work on an Ather electric scooter, Nitisvaar, who currently works at Zepto and formerly at Swiggy and Dunzo, designed the game to simulate the challenges faced by Bengaluru commuters.
Players dodge potholes, barricades, and cows, aiming to reach their office in one piece. Familiar city landmarks add to the immersive, cartoon-style gameplay.
“Currently, the player image is AI-generated, and I can even create your avatar driving your favorite vehicle,” Nitisvaar replied to a post asking if players can customise the vehicle to other EVs like Ultraviolette, Ola, or Chetak.
A version 2.0 is in the works, which will add traffic jams and urban floods to further simulate the Bengaluru commute.
The game’s clever integration of real-world elements and its humorous tone have struck a chord on social media. Users on X (formerly Twitter) have praised its relatability, with some suggesting new features like auto-rickshaws and regional language dialogues.
Nitisvaar’s approach stands out for its low-cost development process powered by AI tools, showing how generative models can help solo developers create visually rich games.
While the game is available only on iOS for now, there’s no word yet on an Android release.
