CAMSTRIKE

Your world is the arena. CAMSTRIKE is a camera survival shooter: raise your phone, aim at the outline targets in the camera view and fire. Solo practice scores every hit on its own, and friends who join your room tag each other once to start a 2-to-12-player camera match. If you are looking for an AR shooter, a camera gun fight game with friends or a laser-tag-style game that needs nothing but a smartphone, this is it.

The camera is your scope

Solo practice: outline targets

Turn on the camera and outline targets appear in the view. When your reticle is inside an outline it says you are on target, and each shot that lands scores by body zone: 25 for the head, 10 for the torso, 5 for a limb. No opponent registration, no second phone needed. Outlines are caught at close range too, and you can switch to the front camera.

Camera gun fights with friends: room codes and invite links

Create a room and send the invite link. iPhone and PC players join in a browser, no app needed. Tag each other once and confirm with "That's me". After a one-second countdown a two-minute match begins. Two to twelve players share one room, with mid-match joining, respawn protection and the next round after a seven-second result screen. Game data is encrypted between devices, and a connection server relays it if they can't connect directly.

Six weapons

The Uzi you start with (a 3-round burst per tap), pistol, M60 machine gun, magnum, sniper rifle and shotgun, each with its own firing mode, magazine, reload time and zoom. Hold the fire button to spray with the machine gun, zoom in with the sniper scope, and remember the shotgun scores once per shot however many pellets land.

A 3D training range that needs no camera

Practice aiming, firing, reloading and the scope against three moving targets that shoot back. No camera permission, photo or account is needed, and a fixed-target mode lets you compare hit and takedown times per weapon.

How to play

  1. Open the app and start firing right away. Shoot with the fire button at the bottom, reload, and swap weapons with the weapon cards.
  2. Allow the camera and solo practice begins. A hit on an outline in the view scores 25 for the head, 10 for the torso and 5 for a limb.
  3. To play with friends, open Friends, agree to share a temporary face descriptor, create a room and send the invite link. Friends open the link, agree and join.
  4. Tag each other once, check the request number and each tap That's me. When both sides are registered, a two-minute match begins.
  5. A hit scores the damage it deals (head ×2.5, limbs ×0.5) and a takedown adds 50. You respawn after 2 seconds with 1.8 seconds of protection. Ranking goes by score, takedowns, then fewest deaths.

Play only with people who agreed to play, in a safe place. Bright light and a close, frontal face help recognition. Friends matches need an internet connection.

Photos and video stay on your phone

Camera video and original photos are analysed on the phone and never sent to other players or to a server. The face descriptor that tells players apart is shared, after consent, only with confirmed players in the same session over an encrypted connection, and it is wiped when you leave the room or send the app to the background. There is no sign-up; only your nickname is remembered on the device. Details are in the CAMSTRIKE privacy policy.
