AR.Rescue 2 allows you to pilot a real-life AR.Drone 2.0 and at the same time fix issues with aliens in augmented reality.


From the video it looks like a great way to get fit, have fun or get run over,  perhaps even all three.  The first AR game designed for use with the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 quad-copter is AR.Rescue 2.

The spiel goes:  After a long intergalactic journey, an alien rocket crashes on Earth. Survivors have to find each fragment of the spacecraft in order to rebuild it and go back home. But they need your help!Because you are one of the best AR.Drone 2.0 pilots, you are the only one who can find and recover, one by one, scattered pieces of the fuselage.

Be careful time is running out and danger is coming fast!


Crunchers’, monsters that are hungry for metal, are already looking for the wreckage from the rocket and will do anything to get what they want! Your mission : inspect - in a very limited time - 4 different worlds (10 levels each ) to collect all the scattered spacecraft pieces, bring them back to the alien’s base and wipe out ‘Crunchers’ who will try to stand in your way. Your task won’t be easy. You will have to fight with skill and be calm in order to win each level of this adventure and help the aliens return home… Good luck Captain!

After having placed a detection tag* on the ground, a base equipped with an AR.Drone runway will appear on the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad’s screen of the piloting device. The game will start and will end from this element.

The game is free and available now from the App Store
