Pocket Jets (AR) Promo1

A 2 min. teaser video for my new iPhone / iPod-Touch game, using augmented reality.
(Release April 2011).

This video show a little of the Target Practice Mode only...

With POCKET JETS (AR) you take full 360 degree flight-control over a futuristic 'Gyro-Jet' as you steer it through the REAL-WORLD environment surrounding YOU!

Pocket Jets uses the gyroscope in your device to convincingly and smoothly blend 3D graphics and sound with your camera's view to deliver a truly immersive experience.

Fly your Jet over your home, around your garden, or in your living room, wherever you are, it's like you are flying a remote-controlled plane, only bigger and louder. If it's too dark to use the camera you can choose one of the built in virtual locations instead.

A Training-Mode allows you to learn how control and track your Jet's movements. Gyro-Jets are loud and fast - you can perform high-speed overhead passes, acrobatic barrel-rolls, and noisy low fly-bys. An on-screen compass helps you to know exactly where your Jet is at any time.

But that's not all... because you are not alone in the skies!

That's OK though, your Jet is equipped with advanced weaponry.

A Target-Practice mode (as shown in this video) allows you to try attacking formations against Enemy Jets and use the onboard combat system to target, and take them down with heat-seeking missiles.

In Evade-Practice you become the target! *Here you will master tactical moves needed to prevent Enemies from locking on to you, or failing that, avoid their missiles with evasive moves.

POCKET JETS (AR) includes different enemies, ranging from passive Missile-Fodder through to Elite AI opponents who mean business, and will be second guessing your next move. Once you think you've mastered the training, you can switch to Dog-Flight Mode and engage in full-scale battles for air supremacy.

Wherever you are, inside or out, POCKET JETS (AR) brings the action to you in a unique experience that is only possible with handheld devices. Good luck!

@BallsoutoftheBathtv.

there is another (clearer) video of this game in action, here:

youtube.com/watch?v=PjtvieTaBw­k

which might help?

If you own the app, have you looked at the in-game instructions (under the '?' button). Basically you steer using finger touches - left for left, right for right in the centre horizontal-strip of the screen.

now available on the app store!

Thanks! The people over at Apple have begun the process of reviewing and hopefully approving my game. With a bit of luck v1.0 could be available this weekend. I've been busy with v1.1 which adds significantly higher quality AR video from the camera, the ability to take all the Enemy Jets for a spin, and a range of 'Mood-Filters - like Night-Vision / Enhanced Blues / Sunset / Bright Sunlight, etc....
