PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, 8th Wall announced the launch of the world’s first immersive, entirely cross-platform web game, Summit Scramble. Available online for everyone around the world to play, Summit Scramble is a free augmented reality game that can be played simultaneously on smartphones, computers and virtual reality devices in the browser.
Set on top of a 3D mountain, players race up and down the mountain, overcoming obstacles such as rolling boulders, in order to collect as much gold as they can before it turns into a volcano that erupts. With the ability to play as a single player or multiplayer across platforms, players race against the clock to stake their claim as champion of Summit Scramble on the global leaderboard.
Key Features:
- Players can create and customize their own Ready Player Me avatars as their character in the game with select outfits, accessories and hairstyles.
- Summit Scramble is a free web game that can be played in AR on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets or Microsoft HoloLens, in 3D on desktop and laptop computers and in VR on the Oculus Quest/Meta Quest.
- Players can challenge their friends in real-time from anywhere around the world and play across platforms.
- Players can register their high scores on the leaderboard and easily share their avatar’s winning moment on their social networks or via popular messaging apps.
“I am very excited for the launch of 8th Wall’s first-ever web game, powered by our new Reality Engine, which allows players to challenge their friends across smartphones, computers and virtual reality devices,” said Erik Murphy-Chutorian, CEO and Founder of 8th Wall. “With the launch of our Reality Engine which allows developers to build a web-based augmented reality project once and deploy it across a variety of devices, people around the world will now be able to challenge their friends and family on the device of their choice.
