### 5/5 — It’s like an aim trainer but without horrible mobile controls

*2022-01-20, version 1.3*

Really fun

### 5/5 — Noice

*2020-03-11, version 1.3*

Beautiful!

### 1/5 — Freezes... doesn’t work

*2019-02-09*

Neat concept, poor execution. Got it to work one time. Wasted money, deleted.

### 4/5 — This actually works!

*2019-02-08*

I’m surprised at how well this works. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that it is a very barebones game. The wireframe face is a nice touch, but outside of that there are no graphics to speak of or even any audio. But, the mere fact the core concept is both executed this well and innately fun enough to earn four stars is a big win to me.

### 5/5 — Nose Zone

*2018-04-20, version 1.2*

Very very fun

### 5/5 — Very Interesting

*2018-03-23*

This game makes very interesting use of ARKit and the TrueDepth Camera on iPhone X. Was more fun than I expected. At least give it a try, it’s free!

### 4/5 — Suggested Feature

*2017-12-25*

Not sure where to put this, but I would suggest a feature that you should record the user’s face while playing and allow us to play it back after a round.

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2017-12-23, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Great example of AR

*2017-12-21, version 1.0*

Awesome this is working now - not sure what happened before but after I rebooted my phone is started working! Thanks

### 5/5 — Creative

*2017-12-20, version 1.0*

This is very creative and addicting game works every time
