App Description

To make a long story short: those mean aliens took over the world (also known as your living room) and it is time for you and your AR.Drone to escape.

While escaping you should try to rescue as many survivors as possible by landing on certain spots in your living room. Get a move on! They are already close on your heels.

Hopefully your energy pulse weapon is charged if you are running into trouble...

This is an augmented reality single player game for Parrot's new quadrocopter: the AR.Drone. Of course it is only useful if you already have the AR.Drone hardware from Parrot.

PLEASE NOTE: this game will work only with AR.Drone 1. Check my other AR.Drone apps if you are looking for AR.Drone 2 compatibility.
