Blortasia

This is one of the trippiest game I've ever played! There are no objectives. There are no missions. There are no puzzles. There's just this procedurally generated tubular labyrinth floating in the sky that looks like it's made out of wet paint morphing around like it's liquified. You could maybe call it a maze but there's not exactly a singular exit you're supposed to find. There are globs of paint-like goo floating around changing colors and patterns and then there are more complex structures that look spongey or molecular. All you do is fly around inside and outside of it listening to the music and it's amazing. The music sounds like throat singing and synthesizer but it also might have didgeridoo mixed in. It's the definition of droning. It lasts like twenty minutes then loops from the beginning. Blortasia is an abstract artistic meditation on novelty. How you experience it is up to you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744680626

This is hands down one of the most stunning VR experiences I've ever played. I originally tried Zen Parade (Mack's Galaxy Gear VR app) at VRLA, and my mind was blown. However, this..... this, is something else entirely. This near brought me to tears. Its so beautfiul, and feels like love. Do yourself a favor and go meet all the weird and unique entities you'll find in blortasia. Jesus its so good.

I read the rave reviews so though I would give it a try as it was only £3.99. Sadly I was left pretty dissapointed, It's not for me. I was hoping there would be more options or customisation but its just like flying around a big mixed paint blob in the sky. Nice textures and light effects plus the controller skins are cool but it seems nothing more than a basic tech demo to me. A 5 minute experience and not fun but that's just my opinion. It might be a bit better after a few pints or a smoke!

Kevin Mack is truly an amazing artist, and it definitely shows within this experience Blortasia. The experience gentley brings the user into a meditative state of awe and elegant beauty. Those shaders man, so good! On a side note, they were able to seemless solve the problem of locomotion which has usually gotten me quite ill, but somehow works very well within this cotext. Definitely something to check out!

I am all for flying in VR through abstract shapes, but this is really barebones. And five dollars? That's just cynical. If you want to fly and glide in VR through dreamy landscapes, while weird music plays, for under ten bucks, go buy Lucid Trips for an experience that's ten times better. Five bucks for this. For shame.

Absolutely worth $5. This is the tripiest media I have ever seen. This was one of the more amazing experiences I have had with VR. It will definitly be something will we be demoing to people and come back to for myself. Please make more experiences like this. I will thow money at you.

Rad, I wish there was more stuff like this for VR.

This is a quick 2 minute tech demo and then its boring. You'd have to be on some powerful drugs to be entertained. I find all the glowing reviews hard to believe.

It's like a 'walls are breathing' acid trip thing (with some beautiful music) where you can float around in a blob that is sort of oozing coloured patterns. It's nice if you're looking for that and are in the right head space. A little creepy for kids since it's sort of pulsing dismal patterns and strange vocalisation. Anyway kind of a cool idea. Really liked the music.

It's like a tie dye psychedelic trip with some ohmm sound track on repeat. You can fly around the sculpture and go inside and through it to see large or small shapes of ever-changing colors. It's running on the Unity engine. There is no snap or smooth turning. You can't turn off the "ohmmm" soundtrack on repeat. I did enjoy this art piece, but I actually think that Blort (a mini-Blortasia experience on MoOR) is better. It seems this giant version has poorer textures and seems like it may be stretched out. The lighting isn't the best either. I'm not an art critic, so I won't score this review. I enjoyed it, so I recommend it. However, I'm not sure how good a value proposition this is. The normal retail price of $7 seems a bit high for something you will probably enjoy for less than half an hour. I would say buy on sale. On the other hand, playing devil's advocate, putting a price on art seems like folly. This could be the Mona Lisa for all I know and I'm talking about how you probably won't enjoy it for more than 30 minutes and $7 USD seems too high. [b]Rate ?/10. Wish I could listen to my own tunes. I say buy on sale, I bought it for a little over $2 and that seems like a good deal to me for what I experienced. But then again, what do I know.[/b]
