The LEGO Powered Up app allows users to take control of a detailed 4-wheel-drive Batmobile, giving them the experience of driving through Gotham City. Players can drive the vehicle forwards, backwards, or sideways, and perform 360-degree spins. The app also enables users to activate special tricks and stunts, transforming them into the Dark Knight as they fight crime. Additionally, users can customize their Batmobile’s tricks, sounds, and movements, making the gameplay both engaging and personalized.
Besides the Batmobile, the LEGO Powered Up app extends its functionality to control LEGO trains within LEGO City. Users can manage various aspects such as train speed, direction, and incorporate sound effects like whistles, passenger announcements, and crossing bells. However, it’s important to note that the Bluetooth-based remote control app and the physical remote control included with LEGO City train sets are not compatible with older infrared remote control sets, requiring Bluetooth-enabled devices for operation.
The app integrates with Powered Up hardware components, including hubs, motors, sensors, and lights, which allow for the creation of customized LEGO models or the enhancement of existing ones. Users can bring their models to life by programming movements and sounds, creating dynamic and interactive experiences. The simple drag-and-drop programming language makes it easy for users of all ages to learn and experiment with coding their creations, adding an educational element to play.
Before using the app, users should check if their device is compatible via LEGO’s website. Parents are advised to seek permission before children go online. The app offers various features, including control panels for different LEGO vehicles, sound integration, behavioral programming, and customization options.
