Good idea to teach basic coding concepts and helpful tutorial, but too much finicky handtracking UI for simple interactions. No need to use two hands, make the objects bigger and highlight volumes larger. Hoping to come back and increase the stars after a UX update.
I couldn't even grab the table. I don't have a table where I am playing in VR most of the time. And yes it offers you a table but.... For some reason and mixed reality I have boundaries and the tables outside the boundaries so when you lean into grab it if it's possible to grab it you're outside the boundaries there goes to table and even if I could grab it I can't grab it because I can't see it I'm sure my kids would love it but.... If I can't play it how are the kids going to play it 5 and 9 yrs. please fix maybe we can give it another try
With some minor adjustments to grabability of objects and placing them on the table you can certainly fine tune the hand tracking user experience. Looking forward to future releases of puzzles
I played this with my sons of 9 and 11. Very nice experience. The handtracking is very fluid and intuitive. Nice kid friendly design and cool 'magic' box! Love to try even more puzzles!!
I would like to try this game, but I can't even grab the suitcase at the very beginning of the tutorial so until this bug is fixed, I will have to give it one star.
