Relaxing and lots of potential, but…
Hi:) I just got this game on a whim, and it’s pretty cool.
It’s really cool just playing with the orbs and messing around with the speed, gravity, color, and enclosure shape. I like it so far, but it could also be so much better. Let’s start with pros and cons.
Pros:
1.) It’s very chill, you can do what you want with no “game” features. It’s more like a casual stress toy in Vr.
2.) The physics feel great, and everything runs smoothly
3.) There are some options to control the environment of the orbs and how they interact
4.) Game runs on mixed reality, so worrying about your real environment is not a problem.
Cons:
1.) Although there are options to control the orbs, there isn’t enough to keep me entertained. It could get boring fast.
2.) The buttons for said controlling are a bit too close to the orbs and I find myself accidentally hitting them a lot.
3.) $9.99 is pricey for what this game offers. Maybe with future updates it will be worth $10 but not right now.
My ideas?
I’m not a developer my any means, but I do have some suggestions that would make the game more interesting and appealing.
-Have more options for controlling the game.
1.) A color picker for the orbs
2.) Sets of Vr environments that enhances that relaxing feel
3.) Orb shapes/sizes
4.) Large orb pit, like a big ball pit
5.) Orb sounds
Thank you so much for reading! (This is my first review)
My new favorite way to relax!
Highly recommended, this game is a great way to calm down after a stressful day.
