When the lights go out, the toys in the house come alive and turn on you. You play a sleepy kid in pajamas with a night-light that shoots, and the one teddy bear who stayed on your side. Get through the night, one room at a time, from the bedroom to the attic and beyond. HOW IT PLAYS • Move with one thumb and point the other at a toy to shoot. • The glow around you is your health. Each hit makes it smaller and the room gets darker, so pick up batteries to get your light back. • After each wave, choose one of three powers, like faster shots, shots that go through toys, or a teddy that fights beside you. • At the end of each room, a giant toy boss is waiting. • Defeated toys aren't hurt. The bad dream leaves them and they flop over, back to normal. MORE TO DO • A story that plays out night by night as you clear the house. • An endless mode to see how long you can last, with Game Center leaderboards. • New challenges every day that pay out stars. • Spend stars on pajamas, hats and outfits for your teddy, and earn new blasters as the story goes on. • Game Center achievements. PLAY YOUR WAY • Plays on iPhone and iPad, with touch controls or a game controller. • Comes with an iMessage sticker pack of the characters. • Your progress is saved on your device. ADS AND PURCHASES The game is free and shows ads between nights. A one-time purchase turns those ads off. You can also choose to watch an ad to keep playing after you lose, or to double the stars from a night. Packs of stars are for sale, and everything in the game can also be earned by playing.
