OK This game is amazing! Like that should be your main takeaway from everything else I say:

My partner, and two buddies recorded some straight up game-play so see how it feels:

On it’s own its enjoyable but where this excels is in the co-operative element of asymmetric game-play. It hard in places, ludicrously so at times, but all the way through its that fun giggling bit of nostalgic gaming where you end up encouraging and shouting at the person next to you as you work together.

I’ve really enjoyed this game when we had a party. It causes quite some chaos and laughs in such an atmosphere!

It’s a simple game and requires multiplayer. I’ve yet to encounter any issues whatsoever.

There’s no option menu, but that honestly doesn’t really matter for a game like this, with this price.

Maniacal, boisterous laughs the whole time from our 5 year old. Great fun for the family, groups, parties.

Gameplay feels pretty one sided though. Being the farmer is quite difficult. Even I (a gamer of 25+ years) was beaten by my 10 year old when I was the farmer. Also our 4 year old (fox) who has barely played any controller games beat our 10 year old (VR farmer). It’s possible we had extra difficulty / glitches due to streaming from our PC to the Oculus Quest, but… it seemed like the chickens were just difficult to catch in general. It kind of added to the fun but perhaps the devs can make some adjustments to even the odds a little. Either way it’s still worth the very reasonable price for a few laughs here and there. Maybe some additional game modes would have give it longer life and playtime too.

Wow!!! I didn’t really do much research on this game before launch day and it looked fun enough in the trailers. I decided to play it on stream and it was a ton of fun and created a lot of fun interaction with chat. This definitely made it towards the top of my fun VR games to play!

I was really concerned about how the multiplayer worked and couldn’t get alot of verified information on it at the time of researching. But basically everytime you clear a level it opens that level up to being able to be played in multiplayer. Then whenever you start a multiplayer game the people that want to join will go to the website trafficjams.app and will be given a 4 letter code to type in, once they are in they then have an overview of the map and can fanatically tap on different things to create chaos on the streets.

A nice party game, good for showing vr to starters.

You are a street traffic regulator and only need 2 commands to make the traffic flow the way you would like. You point out a vehicle or person with one hand, and either raise your hand palm to them to make them stop or wave your palm towards you to make them move (faster). There are some fun situations that make your job more interesting, like mini games whille regulating traffic. Your aim is to get the highest score. You can also make hand gestures to characters, and they respond back, but that is only a gimmic that doesn’t influence the overal game flow.

Love this game! My daughters and I play this frequently but it’s a shame there’s only one playable level. Will the developers be further enhancing this game? Would absolutely pay for a full version.

What a fantastic party game! We’re very excited to see future levels when the full version is out. Thank you!

5/5 - Value

price to hours spent ($14.99/14 Hours)

3/5 - First Time in VR

The “dollhouse” feel of being in VR surrounded by lots of little guys is VERY cool, and actually rather ideal for new players (playing with small bits and bobs is instinctual from childhood). The way you actually grab and use stuff is a little frustrating though, and there is a lot going on in the menus on the controllers that can make them rather intimidating to new users. These issues are there for game balance though - the best part about this game is playing it in a living room with other people. Easily one of the best VR party games around.

When new VR games come out the phrase “must have” gets tossed around from time to time, but hear me out; if you have friends that come over to play VR, if you loved Panoptic but felt like it was lacking depth in it’s game mechanics, if you love the kind of games that always end with someone saying “AHH! One more! Let’s play one more!”, then this is a MUST HAVE for you!!

The game is a 1v1, Vive vs PC local multiplayer (with online multiplayer coming down the road) game. As the PC player you must turn off 4 generators. As the Vive player you must STOP the PC player from accomplishing this. Luckily for the PC player you easily blend in with the hundreds of other andriods that look just like you. The Vive player has some tricks up his sleeve to find the PC player in the form of three abilities; Freeze (freezes all andriods EXCEPT the player, so while everyone is frozen be searching for the one android who is still moving), radar (your controller will vibrate more intensely the closer your hand is to the PC player), and barrier (which puts a barrier around the generators preventing the PC player from turning them off for a few moments). The PC player also has three abilities; Blind (which blinds the Vive player for 10 seconds), invisibility (turn invisable for 6 seconds), and false alarm (trick the Vive player into thinking one of the generators has been shut down).

The good:

I was very impressed with the way that the maze overlaps on itself so the player can actually walk though it. Being able to walk around like this really gives the player a strong sense of presence that I personally haven’t felt in any other VR game yet.

The bad:

The game only has one maze that my girlfriend and I had memorized after the third go. I was expecting at least a few more, or even procedural generation. Background music would be nice too.

Overall, this is a really enjoyable experience and I’m excited to see this game develop further.

Real player with 0.8 hrs in game

My children and I just spend a good 45 minutes just waundering around our front room. OMFG this game is so much fun, sure it’s just walking through a maze but you walk for what seems like for ever, in your play area, and if the person guiding you has any sence you make it to the end. It felt odd to know you’re in your play area but walking for so long you must be next door by now.

The only thing missing is more levels.
