Other than a few days ago managing to find a flamethrower that won’t lag people out (and making it work with BenieTheDragon Boi) for VRChat, these are the games I played yesterday.
Robo Boop
VR Orientation Type: Standing(Room-Scale)
(Reference to booping people on the nose in VRChat here)
This game made me hate how tall I am IRL– constantly smacking the cords for my ceiling fan (and/or hearing them hit the headset). That’s the bad thing about VR.. you can’t see obstacles (and why I want the next-gen VR headset to have a button to activate
‘RL mode’ (to see furniture and stuff).
Moving on, this overly casual (but can be downright frustrating at times) game is about booping boxes with these marshmallow stick-like things. What’s cool about this, is the player can set how easy or difficult they want it to be, via several fully customizable gamemodes. In addition, the player can set how many boxes they want spawned at the first round, how many rounds there are, if they want a time limit, and more. I absolutely love that the player can control how simple or difficult the game can be for them.
The object of the game is also simple; change the color of each box to the color of the stick. And that’s all there is to it.
Only one thing I don’t like, is that there’s no restart option if things get too chaotic for the player. I have to hit the top of either the left or right stick on my controllers, close the game, and restart it.
Other than that, the game is actually quite relaxing (and can turn into a real puzzle if you make it).
VR Flush
VR Orientation Type: Sitting
A very short (a bit too short IMO), but humorous game that almost reminds me of
Portal 2, and originally made for the Oculus Rift (but ported for WMR).
The point of the game is to take a shit in peace, but you keep getting interrupted, even beamed aboard an AI-controlled alien ship above Earth. Here you’re representing all of humanity, while still on the toilet.
And that’s about it. It seems this review is as short as this game. I would had liked to see more (such as different levels). Overall, I did like it; especially the Wheatly like robot that talks to you. He’s hilarious.. calling your toilet a ‘recharging station’.
I’d call it ‘waste management’. lol
SightLine VR
VR Orientation Type: Sitting(180* View)
This is less of a game, and more of the glorious mind fuckery that is VR. This is a great step in getting anyone into VR for the first time in their life. So take a seat, and strap in to the amazing world of Virtual Reality.
In this thing, things infront and beside the player aren’t always what they seem. Staring at a plant, then looking the other way, then back at the… fuck?! It changed! That’s the mind fuckery (and more).
And at the end, it says (proudly): “Welcome to VR”. WOW. This is amazing, and I highly recommend this to any first time VR user. Plus, it’s free! You can’t go wrong with that!
