### 3/5 — Rather vr

*2024-11-26*

It works on almost no surfaces so you can’t really play it

### 3/5 — This game is great, but

*2024-07-19*

When I scan the wall, the first time it worked, but the second time essence keeps telling me no surface detected, even though I’m clearing showing the surface am I forgetting something?

### 4/5 — Love it but kinda mad

*2021-09-23*

I got mad when I found out I CANT DO IT ON WHITE WALLS

### 3/5 — Endless fun

*2020-04-30*

Great way to pass time at home.

### 2/5 — It’s just not there

*2020-04-10*

I really wanted to like this, but it just doesn’t work anywhere.  Regular walls don’t work.  Game play is slow and sluggish.  AR is getting better and hopefully this game returns with improvements.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2020-01-12*

It doesn’t work and many walls I’ve only been able to play once and it was on a brick wall when I was outside. I’m in a well lit room and there is a clear pattern but it still won’t work

**Developer response:** If you send an email to support@wizardgames.ca we can hopefully help you out!

### 4/5 — Great game

*2019-08-25*

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.

**Developer response:** Glad you like it. Thanks for taking the time to review :)

### 5/5 — Awsome

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-12-03, version 1.0*

Love the game

### 5/5 — Very good but took forever to find a wall to work

*2018-09-23*

It’s is a very good game and can kill time, and I like the graphics ,but it was hard to find a wall

**Developer response:** Thanks! Glad you like! It's always best to try to find a wall with a texture or pattern on it. (brick walls work REALLY well.)

### 1/5 — Не возможно играть

*2024-05-24, version 1.0*

Очень прихотливая, не все стены подходят.
И главный минус: камера очень сильно трясется и потом просто зависает. Или хотите сказать, что 14 айфон ничего не тянет?

### 5/5 — Спасибо

*2023-02-21, version 1.0*

Спасибо огромное очень классная игра вы достойны большего и ещё похоже на виртуальную реальность

### 5/5 — I’m impressed!

*2023-01-02, version 1.0*

At first I was skeptic about another AR game crashing. Though this did the first time, I closed the app and restarted it and enjoyed the product. ( I also found a cheat code, which involves squatting, so that’s a plus). My only issue is others knowing to close the app and restarting it to continue to play. ( you can say it’s the new version of cleaning a scratched video game disk). I love that it saves my progress so I can continue and as a dev I love the upgrade feature by subscribing and rating the game. “Chef’s Kiss” I look forward to more AR games. I’m a fan.

### 5/5 — Only rated for stuff in game

*2020-05-27*

Like I said

### 5/5 — My favorite AR game

*2020-04-16*

Works incredible and it is really fun. People need to read the description before complaining about it not working in blank walls.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2019-09-14*

Definitely see getting caught up playing this game

**Developer response:** Glad you like it! Thanks for the review :)

### 5/5 — I’m not just writing this for the plane

*2019-08-06*

This is a really fun game🤯

**Developer response:** So glad you like it, thanks for the review!
