Awesome Game -Inceptors Needed

This game is awesome, with inceptors. Other than that it’s just a neat little fps game. With them though, its like a giant real life CoD style lase tag game that can be played anywhere.

Downsides are it kills batteries quickly and the inceptors may not fit with some phone cases. Occasionaly, the discovering of games doen’t work but can be easily fixed with quitting the app and going back in

Freeplay plz! Oh and I love Father.io Because it’s the only thing that is open world and you can move around;) thanks for making this app :)

Has potential but game clunky, huge battery drain

First of all this game will drain a fully charged iPhone in 20 min tops. Gotta be a fix for this soon. Phone gets super hot after one game.

Inceptor mounting bracket needs to be bigger. I use an iPhone 6plus w a case but it won’t fit and I don’t wanna be running around outside without my iPhone case.

So far we’ve had difficulty connecting to games because you have to wait the 20 seconds each time before it “auto detects” nearby players allowing them to join. We have 4 inceptors and getting the game to send 3 invites each game rarely happens so we have to keep resetting. Should’ve been fixed in beta but hopefully this is in works.

Really not enough play modes. Could’ve easily put capture the flag modes in game but instead have very simple gameplay. And all the classes are virtually the same.

This game could be fun w large group battles but not enough variety for much replay value as it stands now.

And how do you turn the things off??! No buttons. It finally turns off once battery is full drained but that’s it.

Honestly disappointing after waiting years for this to come out but hopefully some new modes and bug fixes will help.

Finally

Been waiting for this game for god knows how long. Exceptionally fun to play with friends. Great game to exercise outdoors with fun.

I really like this game but

I wish you could connect to LAN instead of using the incepter
But otherwise really good game

Animation Quality

I really love this game and the idea behind it. Everything about it it so fun and exciting although I do have some feedback: I am slightly disappointed with the animation quality I.e. barrel flash and reloading animations and I understand it is hard to make a mobile game run well with great graphics but this was still something I thought I should mention. I still love the game and am going to continue playing it.

Does not let you get passed connect screen

Your update says “ mini game allows you to play without an inception” but once you log in it won’t let you get passed the connect screen. If I click buy now it sends me to the indiegogo page which says items MAY deliver in January 2018.

So one Can Not play without the inventor. Which is not widely available yet.

Response from developer

Hi Jason, you can buy the inceptor on Brookstone.com and Amazon.com - delivery is VERY quick for US users (few days). Headshot minigame can be played even without the inceptor, "Quick match" needs the Inceptor.
