This Augmented Reality game places you in the middle of the action. Every time the game is launched you'll view the world through the device camera. As you scan your immediate surroundings you'll notice strangely shaped objects that adopt the lighting conditions of a particular location and become larger as you approach them. These objects are aliens who have invaded your personal space! There are two types of aliens: eight orange coloured warriors and one red coloured warlord. The weapons at your disposal are a laser gun and a light sword. The laser gun is immediately available to you as the game is launched and its sight is always in the centre of the screen. The laser gun can be fired as often as you want, but it is only able to terminate the orange warriors. Terminating a warrior requires you to aim the gun sight at the warrior and tapping the screen. The warlord can only be terminated with a light sword. Activating it requires to first find the yellow coloured charging station. Once found, you can now charge the light sword by approaching the charging station until it covers the entire screen and some more distance into the charging station. You'll know that the light sword was charged by the sound of an electric charge and by the fact that the gun sight was replaced by a light sword. Aim the light sword at the warlord and tap the screen to terminate the warlord. The light sword can only be used once and can't be charged again. The timer in the upper left corner of the screen starts automatically upon launching the game and must be stopped by tapping the "Stop" button as soon as the last of the aliens has been terminated. Once the timer has been stopped a label reading "Game Over" will appear in the centre of the screen. This app requires iPhone 11.0 or later.
