Update 12/20/19: Devs just updated multiplayer to allow you to wait for a game while playing single player and added 8 more multiplayer maps! So far so good! The gravity feels a bit floaty but the game is focused on "bounce flying" and you quickly get the hang of it. And once you do it is super satisfying! The free level pack has a lot of levels with 4 challenges each: collect crystals (complete level), collect all coins and relic, secret artifact, and time trial. Multiplayer is fun and well designed but seems not quite fully fleshed out. Entering the portal takes you to a an empty room that eventually you might realize is a lobby if you actually get into a game. No timer or game select to be found. No private matches and matchmaking is... weird? Sat in the lobby for 10 minutes with my two brothers and never got matched up with them. Hopefully the devs will iterate on it some more because when you do get a game it's a wonderfully frantic game of keep away. [strike]There are also only 2 levels that I've seen and I would love some more variety and map voting.[/strike] The VR part of this is interesting. It's one of those games that didn't have to be in VR but the freedom of the camera control and stereoscopic 3D adds quite a bit to the experience. I also found it surprisingly absent of nausea even though you fly around the map at breakneck speed. Biggest cardinal sin they committed was gluing the HUD to your face but it's plenty in view. All in all, great game and hard to go wrong for the low price of free ninety free. Give it a shot.

This is a fantastic, and quite rewarding, VR game. Much to my surprise it really managed to keep my attention. In the beginning it felt quite hard, but after a few minutes I discovered that I could butt-smash-jump-doublejump-flap, and then I felt like a Skrillex-Spiderman. And the Multiplayer is REALLY fun.
Semi-decent game, but incredibly boring after the first 4 levels. It's a floor-is-lava platformer in which you jump/hover between small platforms collecting coins and gems to complete the level. That's it. Seems like the main premise to the game is that you can play it in VR though there is effectively no reason to do so. Despite having minimal controls, they are overly complex and don't work precisely the way you expect, meaning there is time wasted overcoming a learning curve before controlling the ball can even become enjoyable. I often found that I would over or under shoot my target, which was really frustrating. The shadow beneath the ball is intended to show you exactly what you're above, but the depth of view doesn't seem to line up with where the shadow says the ball is. Camera controls while playing in VR are not smooth, making it difficult to change directions without losing your momentum. The screen effectively jerks to the left or right anytime you need to change your view. Played using Xbone controller.
*Played with Valve Index* This is a cool VR experience. It isn't limited to VR, so you can play it with a controller. The controls are very smooth and easy to use. I saw another reviewer complain about accidentally moving the camera, but that didn't happen with me. ☺
Glyph VR — симулятор гонки шарика в VR. Ахтунг: без VR игрушка не пашет. Хотя есть версия чисто под десктоп. Шарик правда не простой, а скарабей и пейзажи соответственно пустынные, но сути это не меняет, древняя как окаменелость трилобита техника, прогони шарик по лабиринту и не урони куда ни надо. + визуал зачетный. + скарабей. ± разраб больший упор на нинтендовскую свичу делает, чем на ПК. - работа контроллеров чутка косячно реализована. Как итог: в целом если любите гонять шары и есть комплект VR, сыграть можно было. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1276831459 [i]P.s: если этот обзор был для Вас полезен ставьте лайк, а также добавляйтесь в друзья и подписывайтесь на меня как куратора - [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/28776273/] Обзоры онлайн [/url][/i]
Обновление 20.12.19: разработчики только что обновили многопользовательский режим, чтобы вы могли дождаться игры, играя в одиночную игру, и добавили еще 8 многопользовательских карт! Все идет нормально! Гравитация кажется немного плавной, но игра сосредоточена на «полете с отскоком», и вы быстро освоитесь. И как только вы это сделаете, это будет очень приятно! В бесплатном пакете уровней много уровней с 4 испытаниями в каждом: сбор кристаллов (полный уровень), сбор всех монет и реликвий, секретный артефакт и испытание на время. Мультиплеер - это весело и хорошо продуманный, но, кажется, не совсем реализованный. Пройдя через портал, вы попадете в пустую комнату, которая, если вы действительно войдете в игру, со временем вы поймете, что это вестибюль. Таймер или выбор игры не найдены. Никаких частных матчей и сватовство - это ... странно? Посидел в холле 10 минут с двумя моими братьями и ни разу не встретился с ними. Надеюсь, разработчики будут повторять это еще раз, потому что, когда вы все же получаете игру, это удивительно безумная игра, в которой нужно держаться подальше. Также есть только 2 уровня, которые я видел, и мне хотелось бы большего разнообразия и голосования за карту. VR-часть этого интересна. Это одна из тех игр, которые не обязательно должны быть в виртуальной реальности, но свобода управления камерой и стереоскопическое 3D добавляет впечатлений. Я также обнаружил, что в нем на удивление отсутствует тошнота, хотя вы летите по карте с головокружительной скоростью. Самый большой грех, который они совершили, было приклеивание HUD к вашему лицу, но это хорошо видно. В общем, отличная игра, и в ней трудно ошибиться по низкой цене девяноста бесплатных. Дать ему шанс.
This game currently just straight up doesn't work on index. After you load in the game you won't be able to move the ball at all or do anything with it and that's it. So... yeah. It's broken. (rebinding controls doesn't do anything, it's just unplayable).
This was actually a great game for VR but for some reason the devs removed this version for a flat screen only version. Mind blowing that they would do this considering the 3d depth is what made the game feel so good. VR is a currently expanding platform and removing this hidden gem for new users is a bad business move. Maybe once VR becomes more popular the devs will get a clue and re-release this version of the game.

Really Fun VR game! Easy controls and nice music too!
