3. Hold the Zapster Gun and aim at objects on your TV screen.
4. Look through your phone’s camera—it sees what’s on the big screen in real-time.
5. Press the trigger on the Zapster Gun to fire!
6. The game instantly recognizes the colors and objects you hit, moving the game forward.

The Zapster Gun makes the game even more immersive, letting you physically aim and shoot, just like in classic arcade light gun games. This isn’t just a regular game where you tap buttons—it’s like stepping inside the action!
