    Hi, just downloaded this game and paid $7.99 it’s not showing a plane when asked to move slowly, I touched the screen and it says hit test failed. Is my phone not compatible or is it something else.

    Hi there! Thanks for reaching out - we are here to help. Could you please download version 1.1.0? It should make a significant difference in the detection process. Please allow us to explain. In an effort to provide great tracking to players, we initially allowed ARKit to only detect existing planes - flat surfaces right in front of the camera. But we have come to realize that may not be the best alignment method under certain conditions. In the new version, we are allowing ARKit to detect also "estimated planes" as well as finding a surface through "feature points". Tracking shouldn't be affected much, but players should be able to place the map much more easily. Also we have improved the overall experience of this process. Please keep your comments coming either here or directly through our support email. We love to hear suggestions and feedback from the community to make the game better. If the above helps, please consider updating your rating/review so that the community may know this is not an issue any longer. If you are still facing problems with surface detection, please reach out to us directly at our support email: support@directivegames.com. We will get it fixed if problem is still there.
  • 手机游戏的新纪元

    AR游戏彻底改变了人们玩游戏的方式 让玩手机游戏的人不再成为低头族 作为苹果发布会上展示的游戏果然没有失望 画展精美 游戏设计合理 可是一家上海公司开发的游戏为什么还不支持中文
  • Great tech demo

    Purpose built to demo some cool AR gameplay but not the greatest gameplay possible.
    Crashed in the middle of my first game.
    Tracking the units and getting a good view becomes the game which feels more like fighting the interface. I suspect you need to run around like a wii fit game to get much out of it.
    Mechanics end up feeling a bit button mashy. There may be a decently designed game somewhere in there. Perhaps a tutorial of on boarding would help.
    Great looking and the AR perspective placement seems decent but it seems at this point the core ARKit tech is a bit jittery.

  • F****NG AWESOME!

    Ok I NEVER leave game reviews I’m just like most of you....ONLY IF I HATE SOMETHING! 🤷🏽‍♂️
    BUT THIS GAME! Wow mind blowing! At first I was like ah man looked complicating and it’s not doing what was promised or not responsive. ONCE I figured out how to control and use the characters it all came natural it was fun it’s innovative and worth the $5 you pay given how much time and effort was put into creating this(I can only imagine) definitely recommend it especially when your wasted FYI that’s for the 21 and over kids! Keep it up! Boys!

  • Amazing start

    Just getting started with this game. Looks amazing when you actually get it working. Has a hard time detecting planes for placing a game board (camera is really dark. Not sure if that matters.) Also doesn't seem to be any way to change the game board placement once it's set besides quitting and relaunching the game. Maybe I'm missing it. No settings? Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

  • I love the concept but...

    For some reason i am getting a left to right pulsing effect when the camera generates the map. I can’t figure out why it is doing this, but every time I reset the app and reset the table playing field, it continues pulsing left and right.. is there something I’m doing wrong here?
  • Don’t bother

    I can see why they don’t let you try it first
    Awful game low quality plenty others out there already
  • Lots of bugs & bugs

    Trainer need better explain because I don’t know what to do because it get stuck on iPad Pro 12.9 & iPhone 7 Plus & to many crashes & glitches like screen going crazy. This game not ready.

    Hi! Thanks for leaving your feedback really appreciated. We are happy to let everyone know that the bug that was causing iPad Pros to crash sometimes, has been squashed. The fix has been tested and submitted. It will be in version 1.1.0 coming out very soon. Sorry about that. Also, the new version contains a much better on boarding experience so it will be easier and clearer for new players what to do. If the issues you have have been resolved after you download the new version, please consider updating your review so we know you are not having that problem any longer. Feel free to reach out to us directly at our support email with more feedback and suggestions on how to make the game better.
  • Promise is there

    I think the only issue I really have is that about 3-5 minutes into the first battle the AR plane began to walk. By the time I was done the playing field was completely off my table and very gittery. Like it couldn’t find points to hold to. Could be a really fun game soon, but was giving me a headache as it moved and jumped around the table.
    Was using a very bright and evenly lit room to. And was perfect for the first few minutes.
