VR Pianist

VR Pianist

‘Music, reality, sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference’ (D12 - When the music stops)

Playing the piano in virtual reality was new to me and surprisingly fun!

Can I now apply this to a real piano? Yes, but it won’t really allow me to play a completely complicated song.

VR Pianist is a rhythmic VR game, you choose the song you want to do and the difficulty. (easy, normal, hard)

based on the difficulty level you will have to press more or less keys to get a final score.

Here you can see an example of ‘Beethoven - Für Elise’ on hard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P975DqLlPg

You can view my initial impressions review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/9fegwqllD4g

In case you can’t tell from the store page video, you’re playing finger piano in VR. It’s similar to guitar hero, except you are playing real notes on a virtual piano. The game has several songs from contemporary, classical, and thematic piano music. It has easy, normal, and hard difficulties. Several songs are unlocked until you do good enough to unlock the rest.

Hexagroove: Tactical DJ

Hexagroove: Tactical DJ

Hexagroove is probably the most interesting and exciting music game I’ve ever played. It’s a rhythm game made by people with a deep and obvious love of electronic music and the culture around it. It plays in a unique and intuitive way that makes it simple to make some kick ass music. Honestly, I never knew how much I needed something like this in my life.

Unlike other rhythm games which rely on quick reflexes and tapping along to the beat, most of Hexagroove’s gameplay centers around layering different instrumental loops. If you’re the kind of person who likes to play a game for the challenge, then it might not be for you. Most of the fun comes from putting together the different pieces and finding a solid groove, then adjusting it and playing with it on the fly. There’s room for a lot more experimentation and playfulness than in games that emphasize skill mastery, like Beatmania or Audiosurf. It offers some mini-games and an obligatory campaign, but you won’t find anything too taxing except on the highest difficulty. I’ve made my way through the whole game on each difficulty level, but most of my time is spent in free mode just jamming out. I’d hesitate to even call Hexagroove a game. It controls like a game, and it’s got levels, achievements and tricks to perform for style points, but it plays more like an instrument, something you can play to make cool music, without any of the hassle of having to learn to beatmatch or how to use an MPC.

Even with my short time in the game thus far I think it’s incredibly cool. I’ve not seen or played anything else like it. From the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t (yet) make music, it’s about the closest you can get to actually mixing and producing your own tracks while still also technically being a game.

It’s a lot of fun just to play around in, and I love that the game encourages that. More than once I’d be vibing with all the loops and samples in the practice mode, finding out my favorites and which ones work well together before remembering, oh yeah, I have a set to go play, maybe I should do that. It’s double cool that incorporating real life mixing and songwriting techniques and theory affect your performance and score. Also you can have a Psytrance rave deep in the forest.

Stay Dead Evolution

Stay Dead Evolution

Suprisingly good for a dragon’s lair type fmv fighting game. I’ve played prize fighter for sega cd and this game is so much better than that. The controls give a bit of freedom to your timing which is nice. Basically the fights work in certain patterns and you need to learn your opponents attacks before you can really win fights. There are different levels of difficulty as you advance so there is a challenge even after you finish the game once. It’s an fmv game so the problem comes in with every fmv game. Once you’ve seen every scene then you’ve pretty much seen the entire game, but like I said there are different difficulties if you want to challange yourself more.

I like that they put in some effort doing something different and reviving the full motion video (FMV), quick-time events (QTE) genre of game.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. The video quality isn’t stellar, now that we’re in the hidef era, the video should probably try to match the modern day standard.

The gameplay is pretty woeful, there’s more gameplay in Dance Dance Revolution etc. You’re just tapping a couple of keys every now and then to throw a punch or dodge or whatever.

I feel bad that I have to give this a thumbs down, because they put in some effort with the FMV, and at least it’s not another terribad 2D retro pixel platformer. But ultimately it’s not any fun, either.

Untitled Rhythm Puzzle Game

Untitled Rhythm Puzzle Game

Dungeoneer Games are proud to launch our first ever title: ‘Untitled Rhythm Puzzle Game’. No that’s not a mistake, someone in the marketing department thought this was actually a good idea!

Untitled Rhythm Puzzle Game releases as the first ever game in the new URPG genre. A genre based on annoying the player and removing any sort of sanity through solving puzzles based on locality awareness mixed with keeping a ‘simple’ rhythm. It might sound easy, but believe us, it is much harder than it looks.

In this little story you play as the lead character “Blob”. Blob is a high profile DJ, playing to the biggest crowds, in the biggest of cities. But then one day he made a vital mistake and didn’t look both ways when crossing the road, and has now found himself in Rhythm Purgatory.

You must help him get up the stairway to heaven, as you slowly descend into madness… In the first every Untitled Rhythm Puzzle Game (URPG), will you be a winner or a loser in the way of the beat?

Key Features

  • Play in the 50 level strong “Story Mode”. An unforgiving journey through some of the toughest levels ever created, of course after starting it off easy!

  • Play in our open “Arcade Mode”. A special area made up of fun challenges and unique game mechanics that are just TOO good for the Story Mode!

  • Play in our “Endless Mode”. A weekly procedurally generated journey from the easiest of levels to getting progressively challenging as you work your way through. We don’t even have control anymore, the computer has taken over!

Think_ as a game is pretty mediocre. Although the game does have a few slightly relatable emotional moments, it lacks in it in lack of gameplay, it’s price (it should be worth a dollar or two or nothing at all), the abyssmal sprite work, glitches, and just in general play value or replayability. The game can be beaten in probably half an hour and is not worth the price it has. After being beaten, the game seems to leave you in a soft lock which leaves you with no way to play the game. The game lacks charm and all and all, the only thing I enjoyed in it was the music, when it wasn’t blasting my ears out of course. 2/10, would not recommend.

I’m a sucker for short games with bad graphics, what can I say? The music is pretty good too. Only complaint is that the game doesn’t allow you to play it for a second time. I wanna see what happens if I name my character Paul :(. I don’t see an issue with the price, I just wanted to get rid of some money ngl.

I like this. It is a modern arcade game that non-gamers can even hop on and give it a try! but it is challenging enough to make me come back for more trying to one up that high score!

Fun and exciting arcade games that keep you on your toes! The games are fast paced and competitive with good achievements to work towards and a high score counter to continue to best yourself!

Shooting Arena VR

Shooting Arena VR

I play tons of VR FPS games, and this one is great because of a leaderboard you must constantly go for, I love the game because of the adjustable barrel angle and fun levels. Although reloading is quite different, it honestly helps with practice getting your sights on the target quickly. Honestly I am a very picky person when it comes to VR shooting games and this is one of my favorites of all time, it’s got TONS of room for personal improvement and AMAZING arcade modes to really improve aim and speed. It can also be quite competitive for getting those leaderboards, something I looove.

Pistol Dancer

Pistol Dancer

Twos hands two guns!

Pistol Dancer is a shoot’em up style rhythmic FPS. Initially, it’s a home-collaboration kind of project developed for my daughter to get her interested in VR but it’s gradually evolved into a casual/party game that many of us enjoyed with.

Press the trigger alongside music beats to unleash devastating power to the enemies.

Your enemies are little virus bits trying to reach the heart, and you are the last line of defence!
