    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is straightforward, focusing on navigating through obstacles across various monochromatic levels, with two difficulty modes available. However, a significant flaw is the ship's off-center positioning, which can lead to accidental crashes, detracting from the experience. While it serves as a basic VR demo, the overall gameplay is simplistic and lacks depth compared to other titles, making it more suitable for brief sessions rather than extended play.

    • “The goal is simple, to make it as far as possible without crashing into the many obstacles, and the gameplay is split into various levels that are mostly monochromatic and duochromatic in nature.”
    • “There are two difficulty modes, normal and hard, with the latter simply speeding up the gameplay.”
    • “One major flaw is that the ship is always somewhat off center of your vision, making it entirely possible that you will accidentally hit a structure due to this mechanic offset.”
    • “Being an early title, this is mostly forgivable, but it does take away a lot from the gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is extremely simple, not as complex as even most endless runners on phones, but it does provide a basic VR experience for free.”

    • “In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
    • “Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers.”
    • “While the colors are vibrant, the graphics are simple; made out of mostly harsh polygonal shapes, thus the name of the game.”
