Play Focus on the House
First the eye doctor. Then the lane.
Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.
Play free nowAn optometrist in a bow tie leans in close, and then you are standing at the start of a long fenced lane in open country. Focus on the House mixes an eye test with target shooting games: walk toward far-off targets, look through a lens and use your charges well. You start with 6 charges on the first level, The Lane, and there are 16 levels in all. You play it in first person in the Roam app on iPhone.
How to walk and aim
- Drag the ring to walk down the lane.
- Tap the target button to aim and fire.
- Watch your charges: you start with 6.
- Clear the level to move on to the next of 16.
What is unusual about it
- 16 levels, starting with The Lane
- A first-person view with a lens to aim through
- Limited charges on every level
- An eye-doctor intro that sets a strange tone
Not your usual target shooting games
Most aiming games hand you a rifle and a range. Focus on the House hands you a lens and a lane, and the eye-doctor intro makes it feel like part test, part game.
The limit is the charges. You cannot spray at the targets, so each shot is a small decision about distance and focus.
Tips for The Lane
Walk closer before you fire. The targets are far at the start, and a few steps can make a hard shot easy.
Count your charges. Six goes fast if you fire early, and running out means starting the level again.
If a level feels impossible, try a different spot on the lane. Distance changes what the lens shows you.
For fans of odd little games
It suits players who like odd little games with a strange premise. It is calm and slow, with 16 levels to work through on your own.
If you like games that feel a little like a puzzle and a little like a mystery, the lane and the lens give you both. It is not a fast shooter, and that is the point.
