The Simplest, but Best ARG Application – AR Runner Review

ABOUT THE GAME: When I got IOS 11 and saw it has AR (Augment Reality) elements added to it to create official ARG’s. Now, this is VERY early into the realm of ARG apps, so this review may change comments that are said in this review, but not the rating. These type of “small game, big replay-ability” games I love to see on the App Store. It’s free, but I recommend you spend those two dollars. The free version of it shows what it can do. Fallow the line to the next blue circle and try to get the best time. If you have a tiny space (6.5 ft x 6.5 ft (or 2 m x 2 m)), or want to use your hand, pick that. If you have a bigger space, go for the bigger option. Another plus is that there are No Ads with the free version. So, why should I spend $1.99 that I am apparently so reluctant to use? Simple. You aren’t going to just enjoy running around. You want another challenge. And there is a 30-second blitz to get the most amount of blue circles in (you guessed it), 30 seconds. Then there is also Enemies. Now, this time there are grey rectangles added to the playing field. Run into them or have them hit you, and your run is over for that round. 2 x 2 and 4 x 4 fields are given a 3 x 3 grid of circles to go through and 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 fields are given a 5 x 5 grid of circles to go through. I recommend using an 8 x 8 field to get the best workout and have it still be fun. ABOUT THE 10/4/17 UPDATE: The new update added something that will make the full price act like a discount. Local Multiplayer and Wall Punch. I tried out wall punch and it was pretty good. You move around a wall of circles trying to find the blue circle. Once you find the circle, you need to move your phone inside of the circles in order to get the point. Then there is Local Multiplayer. THIS IS LIKE A BLESSING TO ADD. I showed off this app to a friend of mine and he loves it. Now, this is a much more easier way to show off this app and (yes) compete against each other. IDEAS: I only really have one idea. Add a way to share your run using videos. A screenshot can be easily photoshopped, but a video is a much move authentic way to show your score.
