Ghost Tower AR is a fun, real-time light-shooter augmented reality mini-game. Try and shoot down pesky ghosts and ghouls. Defeat all foes by bringing down the tower; you reduce the tower’s power with each hit. You can play indoors or outdoors. The best game experience is in an open space (or big room) big enough that it allows you to move around (circle) the tower; it is a 360-degree experience! This game encourages players to play in open spaces, moving around, and providing an opportunity to socialize with neighbors and friends. With augmented reality, you are in the game but it takes place in your natural environment, avoiding issues that trouble VR users, especially young ones. This game is just for fun and provides you with a glimpse of a far more immersive experience we’ll be releasing very soon.
