BlastAR! by mr.possoms
Reveal the unseen baddies of a hidden world using your trusty iOS device, then blast them into smithereens!
BlastAR is a simple augmented reality shooting game where enemies spawn all around you. To play, simply start the app and hold the device in front of you. Tap on the screen to begin, and to fire. If you are killed, tap the screen again to restart.
Since this is an iOS app, you will need to clone the repository below and build it from source. You will need a copy of Xcode 5.1.1 to build it correctly. Then, simply deploy to your device.
I've only tested this on an iPad air, so please let me know if you have issues with other iOS devices running iOS 7.1.
Tools used:
Programming: Objective-c
Graphics: OpenGL ES
Sound: OpenAL
Cheers!

You need to download the source and run it on an iOS device. Apple doesn't allow you to build an app and share it freely :(

I see what you did there. Very interesting idea to use augmented reality as theme interpretation, unfortunately I'm unable to play unless you port to android

I would like to port it at some point. But since I wrote it from scratch in objective-c, very little, if any of this code would be transferable to android. It would essentially be a full rewrite. :(
