BLAST ALIENS ON YOU IPHONE WITH THE APP GUN




We’ve seen many different accessories for the iPhone from the normal bumpers and casings to the rather strange casings like the ping pong material, and now, here’s something way cooler than all those other non-functioning ones, an App Gun. Remember those games we see in arcades that allows you to hold a gun and start shooting at the bad guys or zombies? This is more or less the same but instead of having a big huge display in front of you, all you have to do is dock your iPhone onto it and you’re ready pull the trigger to start blasting aliens on the tiny screen.

The accessory, developed by AppToyz, comes with an accompanying augmented reality app that lets you shoot aliens in your actual environment. It’ll be available for a mere USD$30 because it doesn’t come with any state-of-the-art technology. Instead, all the App Gun do is tap the screen with a touch-friendly lever whenever you pull the trigger so it appears like you’re really shooting the little monsters. Unfortunately when it gets released in April, not in Malaysia I assume, it’ll only be accompanied with that one app but according to the creators, they said that they are hoping for other developers to take up the patented blaster and create other games and apps for it.

I know it’s a simple game that doesn’t take much skills or brains to play, but at least the creators of the App Gun is creating a different type of gameplay for users instead of the regular tap the screen with your finger method. More pictures after the jump.
