RED5.co.uk has launched a world exclusive iPhone and iPod touch toy, the appBlaster from apptoyz. Designed to work with the augmented reality (AR) app, Alien Attack, the blaster demolishes aliens invisible to the naked eye. The appBlaster is exclusively available on pre-order today at www.RED5.co.uk for dispatch on 7 July, for £19.99 and will be for sale at the RED5 concession at Selfridges, Oxford Street from 6 July.

The appBlaster* gives iPhone and iPod touch users a new AR gaming experience. The augmented reality feature of the game means that the alien invasion will be coming straight at you from the surrounding area, so whether you're on the bus, in the office or at home, there's no place to hide!

The appBlaster doesn't require any batteries as it sports trigger-to-touch-screen technology to fire the in-game shooter. The triggers operate two pads that touch the screen and shoot the in-game blaster, allowing the user to use both the primary and secondary shooting functions. To make the experience more realistic, the appBlaster can be cocked and reloaded using the iPhone's or iPod touch's motion sensitivity.

Simply download the free app, apptoyz Alien Attack, from the iTunes App Store, lock and load your iPhone or iPod touch to the top of the blaster, and using the unique trigger-to-touch-screen technology, shoot the advancing aliens from all corners of the room. The full version of the free Alien Attack app will launch on 6 July. It can be found after launch by searching Alien Attack on the iTunes App Store. Further apptoyz game apps will be released on the App Store later in the summer.

Compatible with iPhone 3GS, 4, and iPod touch 4th generation.
