Goals
Develop the whole system: backend + frontend, decompose tasks, parallelize backend and crossplatform app development, release for iOS and Android.

The main idea of the app is a so-called "premium mode" which can be activated by clients who have a valid flight booking number not earlier than 2 hours before departure. Coins they earn in this mode can be further exchanged for bonus miles of «Aeroflot Bonus» loyalty program.
Solution
Initially the customer provided us with a SRS with a list of required technologies and development tools.

Vadim Popov (CEO Upstarts) leaded the project personally being its manager (conversations with the customer, timings control, tasks management) and teamlead (technical consulting of the team members, architectural solutions, etc). Also he developed 100% of the backend API with PHP (Phalcon), MySQL and 100% of the UI interface of the app (except for the games themselves) - Unity 3D, C#.
Thousands of users played Aerogames every day earning bonus miles. This was a really cool experience of development and support such a large and high loaded system for the entire team.
Today
«Aerogames» were released in march 2017 and stayed in stores for a year till the end of the bonus program.
