The Purge Day

The Purge Day

Pretty awkward and bad. It’s a stationary shooter, and you’re exposed to strange polygonal creatures that come at you from the distance. The first level (I could not complete) had aliens, which was nice, but they just come at you, and if they touch you once your dead. The game is therefore you making sure they all get shooted in the head from a distance, and you have to use a bad non-VR conducive cross hair. Ideally, the game would be better, and more dynamic, and you’d aim down the sights like a real gun, like every other VR shooter does.

! Reminds me of Area 51 from back in the day, but that game was better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkECztX1rMQ

Great game, Well worth the $3! Works really well with the oculus rift and doesn’t require the use of Steam VR (My Steam VR doesn’t work, So any game that works without Mandatory SteamVR support is awesome!).

It’s real fun and my nephews enjoy playing this game a lot!

Mixed feelings:

The text ingame is in English but contains excessive amounts of typos, grammatical and punctuation errors, and phrases that seem misused. This could be the intention of the developer, but it doesn’t seem clear one way or the other.

The controls are basic but it feels lacking in tutorial.

Ingame, there are a number of graphical and mechanical bugs/glitches that should be fixed (Namely, player collisions with walls/obstacles and the sideways motion of spaceships).

The main gameplay seems like it should be refined more, to lessen the learning curve and possibly add more fallback mechanics.

Ever wanted to pretend you’re a Gundam pilot? Look no further. Fun shoot ‘em up action in VR. Shoot, dodge, and upgrade. Easy to pick up and play and does require some degree of skill. It’s lit.

Short and sweet. Cool concept. Was fun experimenting with the different combinations of upgrades. Would love to give it another go if more upgrades or enemy types were added. Wish it paused when shopping.

SuperOffice

SuperOffice

Dodging slow-motion shots and shooting back is really cool. And we missed a top-down game that way. The desire to play something like this motivated us to create SuperOffice.

The game begins when you wake up from a nap at your desk and find out that all your colleagues were kidnapped by aliens and that a jewel in your drawer allows you to control time.

But your office has changed a lot - aliens and monsters are everywhere chasing you. To clean up this mess you will need to use your jewel and any weapon you find along the way, from vases to throw at your enemies to swords that cut them in two.

In addition to the action, time control and a lot of weapons, SuperOffice also features bosses - the alien masters. Each one has a jewel, and getting them allows you to become even more powerful.

SuperOffice features

  • Infinite rooms: Dive into sequences of procedural generated rooms leading to alien masters.

  • Power collecting: Defeat the alien masters and get their weird jewels. You found the jewel of time on your desk drawer - what other jewels may exist?

  • Many weapons: From pistols, shotguns, machine guns, swords, knives to vases, computer monitors and your own fists.

  • Office environment: Tired of your work? Destroy monitors, work desks and report boxes - all in your time.

SuperOffice is currently being developed. Please feel free to ask us anything or give suggestions at support@growingseedgames.com .

Timothy vs the Aliens

Timothy vs the Aliens

Positives: Overall, it’s a recommendation for those looking for different kind of open world 3D platformer. It’s not often we get actual noire visuals and it looks fantastic and plays well too. Lots to explore, you can get into sewers and rooftops, and even access a few buildings. Great music too. Combat gets the job done. Nothing spectacular, but still fun.

Negatives: Not much options for customization. You can use a controller or m/kb option, and both control well, but there’s no custom button layout. So you’re stuck with what they give. It works, and there’s no issue with the controller layout, but the kb/m layout is a little confusing at first. The biggest thing being that they made the reload button Q instead of R. You get used to it, but it’s an odd choice to say the least. Also, once you’re done with the game, it seems like that’s it. It doesn’t let you go back and mop up missing collectibles/achievements. Oh well.

The game is very short, and has a few frame rate issues, but overall was enjoyable. Something about it’s style and feel during game play is just appealing.

Surely worth picking it up on sale, though based off the few reviews there are, I just wanted to pay full price for the devs. You can find stuff about this game and massive changes it has gone under since at least 2016, when it was isometric. I appreciate the effort that went into this.
