Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of innovative mechanics and disappointing content. While the flight mechanic and art style are praised for their captivating qualities, the "find the hidden gems" objective fails to engage players, and the fixed third-person perspective in VR is seen as an odd choice. Overall, the game shows potential with its locomotion mechanics but lacks depth in gameplay.
- “Definitely worth the small price-tag for what could be groundbreaking VR locomotion mechanics.”
- “The flight mechanic in this game is absolutely wonderful and captivating.”
- “Beautiful art style and interesting locomotion mechanics!”
- “The 'find the hidden gems' game mechanic doesn't really make me excited to keep playing.”
- “The video shows the actual gameplay; it's not a fly on the wall view for recordings of yourself from behind. You're the camera, so it's essentially a third-person game... odd choice for VR, and there's no method to change perspective.”
- “I was very disappointed with the game content and gameplay.”
