BEST AR GAME EVER

### 5/5 — The best AR game currently

*2017-09-29, version 1.2*

Camera tracking is almost flawless and gameplay is addicting and fun. Doesn’t take very long to calibrate and gameplay mechanics aren’t broken like most AR games. Definitely a serious AR game.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2017-09-28, version 1.2*

This game is quite simple to learn, robust and does what it’s made for, and easy to enjoy some fun while bored. This is basically a 4.5 review because I feel that the developer can add more content and features. This game also works on all devices compatible with ARKit so if you use AR then it should work.

### 5/5 — GREAT GAME 👍👍👍👍👍

*2017-09-28, version 1.2*

Nice use of AR on iPhone and this is just the beginning of AR. Not any problems running on a iPhone 7 great game!!!
