Community Insight:
Really great game we recommend this one is really good.
At first we were skeptic about another AR game crashing. Though this did the first time, we closed the app and restarted it and enjoyed the product. ( we also found a cheat code, which involves squatting, so thats a plus). Our only issue is others knowing to close the app and restarting it to continue to play. ( you can say its the new version of cleaning a scratched video game disk). We love that it saves our progress so we can continue and as a dev we love the upgrade feature by subscribing and rating the game. Chefs Kiss we look forward to more AR games. Im a fan.
Works incredible and it is really fun. People need to read the description before complaining about it not working in blank walls.
Definitely see getting caught up playing this game.
You are awesome creating that A.R. Game and great for this time.
Its is a very good game and can kill time, and we like the graphics ,but it was hard to find a wall.
But not where you want it to. This is the ultimate game for when youre on your bathroom break (or even your lunch break). At your local burger joint? Now the diner booths serve as a battle station. But, you probably want to play this at home. Maybe even to show it off to family and friends. Well…you most likely cant. The bathroom stalls and diner booths have some type of texture and graphic print to hide those STAINS and unless you are a tasteless being(like the graphics and design dude for Nickelodeon in the early 2000s), the walls at home are plain and lit up by only a couple lights in the middle because having lighting across the ceiling is impractical and lets everyone know that your an adult thats still scared of the dark. Defend It A game capable of immersing the player in a secret world of evil alien robots that hide in the walls of a metaphysical inside place using AUGMENTED REALITY. But just not your insides, not yet, AR is still in its early stages.
We got mad when we found out we CANT DO IT ON WHITE WALLS.
This game is fun to play. It feels satisfying to shoot the gun and has a great art style. The levels are good. However, the robots do not cast shadows while in the cave, and do not have other visual cues to show their distance and height. Overall, great game.
We can see ourselves playing this for hours, but we cant because we died so quickly so easily. We tried 12 and theres no way that we can get to that level. The increasing skill level is just too much. We typically die at stage five and cant get any farther without skipping stages. We hope for either more bonus/improve gun Features or less bots until later on in the game. We broke a sweat and thats why we love it because we were up moving gaming and having fun.
It works on almost no surfaces so you cant really play it.
When we scan the wall, the first time it worked, but the second time essence keeps telling us no surface detected, even though Im clearing showing the surface am we forgetting something.
Great way to pass time at home.
We really wanted to like this, but it just doesnt work anywhere. Regular walls dont work. Game play is slow and sluggish. AR is getting better and hopefully this game returns with improvements.
It doesnt work and many walls Ive only been able to play once and it was on a brick wall when we were outside. Im in a well lit room and there is a clear pattern but it still wont work.
Doesn't detect wall no matter what.
We couldnt find a wall to scan so make this a update.
Not trying to sit in a stahl just to play this game. Very disappointed.
Still wasnt able to scan a suitable surface, even when the wall was very well lit and had a distinct pattern.
It ONLY works on walls with textures, cool concept poor execution, we wont work on a flat surface no matter how well lit it is Ive only been able to play the game once and even then it was meh.
Tried many walls with all kinds of patterns and it still will no register a surface to play on.
Game not works. Try many walls. The game never accept one of it. Delete it and done.
Ive tried on many different walls but it wont wont. It keeps telling us that it doesnt register a flat surface. Why cant it just work anywhere? This needs to be fixed.
Havent been able to play yet as we cant seem to find a suitable wall.
