Marketwired
Artificial Life, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ALIF), an innovative investment
company, announced today that its production studio, Alife Studios
Inc., together with WowWee Group Limited, has developed and
launched a 3D smartphone toy app titled "Elite CommandAR," which
interfaces with a physical toy gun, and is distributed under the
brand WowWee AppGear™, for iOS and Android devices.
The initial Elite CommandAR smartphone app is available now and
offered for free through Apple's online app store
(http://itunes.apple.com/app/id494456130) and Google Play
(http://goo.gl/BXI4I). Soon, augmented reality and co-op
multiplayer features will be added.
The physical App Gear™ toy gun is to be sold in official Apple
retail stores around the world.
By combining actual physical toy guns with iOS and Android apps,
Elite CommandAR provides the ultimate first person shooter
experience for gamers. Elite CommandAR contains cinematic quality
3D cut-scenes and stunning artwork which surpasses similar mobile
games available in the market. Apart from eye-popping graphics, the
game leverages cutting-edge technologies such as augmented reality,
enabling players to use their smartphones' rear-facing camera for
detecting the accompanied augmented reality markers and to take
part in battles where enemies invade the real-world surroundings as
seen through the phone's viewfinder.
The game thrusts the player into the role of the elite space
commander who is tasked with a last-ditch mission to save planet
Earth. In order to salvage the last of the human race, the player
has to explore 3 mysterious locations including the wasted planet,
the alien forest and the spaceship, all while battling against
nasty alien enemies and bosses. The player also has the option to
invite a friend to join the game through Wi-Fi in a peer-to-peer
co-op mode, where together, they can blast through
adrenaline-pumping levels. Players may also unlock and upgrade
their weapons by redeeming stat points earned through the game or
via in-app purchases.
Game Features:
- Use AR markers to activate portals to another dimension and
initiate battles played through the camera's viewfinder.
- Control a first-person perspective by using the smartphone's
built-in gyroscope and compass heading.
- Aim the toy gun and pull its trigger to shoot enemies and other
targets in the game.
- Use secondary pistol buttons to raise your shield, change
weapons, fire special weapons and reload.
- Peer-to-peer multiplayer game mode available for co-op missions
using Wi-Fi.
- Earn points to unlock or upgrade weapons.
- Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and selected Android phones
with rear-facing cameras and gyroscope support.

"Toy experts say the biggest trend in toys is the melding of
online/smartphone apps with physical toys. Therefore, we have
decided to address this trend and develop more innovative apps for
toys. We are glad to work with WowWee Group again to combine
another collectible toy with a sophisticated and high-quality
smartphone game. The Elite CommandAR has recently won the Best Toy
Award 2012 at the New York Toy Fair, which is a remarkable
achievement for both WowWee Group Limited and us," said Eberhard
Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
Artificial Life has previously already released another toy app
