It's really good but I would like if u made an update were it shows the enemy's health and u can pick the health in the settings and u can defeat the enemy and put a phrase for what it says when he dies like Metal Bubble fainted or Metal Bubble died if u do that I give yur app five stars

Developer Response
Thank you for waiting all these years — and the great suggestion. In v1.2.0 (released this month) we added exactly what you asked for: enemies now have real HP bars, you actually defeat them, earn XP, and level up. We'd be honored if you came back to try the new battle loop!

Fun, DW style RPG app. Set the name of your monster in the settings and set the level of the hero/monster and hit attack/heal and watch your surroundings go into action. You can't actually defeat your monster but it can easily defeat you on any level above 50.It's mainly just for a fun pick up and play camera app, but it is fun nonetheless. Hitting camera takes a pic of the game frame and the objects in view. However, it does have a bad flaw. Don't hit in the box that has the monster name as it will get stuck in the keyboard and you will need to close out the app completely to replay the app.

Thank you for the very thoughtful feedback — and for sticking with us! AR.PG has been completely rewritten in v1.2.0 (Swift + SwiftUI, iOS 17 Vision framework). You can now actually defeat enemies (real HP and XP), the keyboard input bug is fixed, and 1300+ subjects are recognized automatically. Would love for you to try the new build.

I can see a lot of potential for this App! The ability to "defeat" what you see would be nice, even if there obviously would be no change in front of the lens. This is not a game, but rather a cute toy to play with!

Developer Response
You were ahead of your time — being able to "defeat" the enemy was the most-requested feature, and it finally arrived in v1.2.0 this month. Attacks now drain real HP, defeated foes drop XP, and you level up with a full heal. Hope it scratches the itch you described 14 years ago!

Pretty sick. You create your enemies and "kill them" this app runs off of imagination as well as computers. a nice thing to add would you can tap the object that is your enemie and effects could be added to that.But really great job!!

Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words. Tapping the recognized subject doesn't trigger effects yet, but spells (Fire / Blizzard / Thunder) now paint dramatic Core Image filters across the screen when you cast them — close to what you envisioned. Tap-to-target is a great idea for a future update. Thanks for the long-term support!

v1.2.2 — Elemental Weakness & Bestiary What's New ■ Elemental weakness Every enemy now has a weakness to fire, ice, or thunder. Cast the matching spell to deal 1.5x damage with a "weak spot" hit — your three spells finally have a reason to be chosen carefully. ■ Bestiary A new Bestiary screen (Settings → Stats → Bestiary) lists every enemy you've defeated, with each type's kill count, weakness, and first-defeated date. Take down all kinds of real-world subjects to fill it out.

Version 1.2.2 May 16
