Puzzle game Waddle Home AR is available free on iOS.
Today, virtual and augmented reality studio Archiact (www.archiactvr.com ) reveals Waddle Home AR, an augmented reality puzzle game now available as a free download on the App Store® by Apple®. The game is Archiact’s first full AR release, and signals the studio’s commitment to exploring the rising medium.
Initially released as a VR-only title on Steam VR® and PlayStation®VR, Waddle Home AR brings the adorable puzzle gameplay of the original title to life with immersive ARKit™ technology. The virtual penguin family of Waddle Home have been captured, and players must guide them home through each slippery level by toggling blocks, opening doors, and escaping the ever-patrolling Guard robots.
As a “free to start” title, Waddle Home AR offers 16 full levels to play for free, with an additional 24 levels available through in-app purchase.
The game releases alongside the official Waddle Home iMessage® sticker pack, including thirteen animated stickers for $1.99 USD.
Regarding the importance of AR content to Archiact’s future projects, studio head Kurt Busch said the following:
“We first showed our experimental AR experience Roll Home to a conference audience early this year and got an enthusiastic response. Once we published that experiment, we became convinced that mobile AR will play a major role in mobile entertainment. Now with the release of Waddle Home AR, we can finally show AR enthusiasts what we can do with this technology.”
