Lighter Than AR

It's a nice way to show other people how vr is like & how to fly an hot air balloon For the people who can't find it, to lower down in the air you have to pull the red "rope/pipe" and to go up you need to hold both gas cans above you You also have to pickup and drop "bags" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXIOnLHbkY

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/3kiOWOzta1w This is the best hot air balloon experience in VR, bar none. It's not perfect though, it does have several flaws. However, the underlying experience is solid. The visuals are good for the most part. It does have a nice selection of environments to navigate through and it has enough challenges to give you value for your money, especially at the low normal price of only $5 USD. LIke I mentioned though, there are some negatives to be aware of. First thing you'll probably notice is the ugly UI and the gaze-based navigation. I know it was more common in 2018, but it should have never been a thing unless you're talking about 2016 VR. The VR interactions are poor, not only the gaze-based part, but using the levers or pulling the rope is a matter of moving your hand in the general area of said items, you don't actually grab them. There are no graphical settings, in fact, the only setting is the turn the music off, which is funny because there is only one song available. Lastly, the sounds aren't great & the visuals while good for the most part, are also not so good in other parts. I think the biggest flaw is how the hot air balloon basket just doesn't look good, it seems the scales are off. Game is running on the Unreal Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps. I only experienced one bug during my playtime, where the game visuals warped and I thought the game had crashed, but instead it had just kicked me to the Oculus home page and I was able to just tab back in and then the visuals looked normal again. There is no locomotion or turning, this is a room-scale experience. There is no way to adjust height. I had to play standing. Despite all my criticisms, I really enjoyed this very chill experience. It is one of those games that you'll want to showcase to friends and family. I think I got very good value for my $5 USD and highly recommend this experience, even though it isn't perfect.

I really enjoy the game. It's slow paced, which really helps calm me down after a stressful day at work. The game is relaxing, and has very nice lighting. My favorite part by far, is the infinite supply of those pillows. I'm trying to beat my record of eight pillows stacked atop one another, and I got pretty close to filling the basket with them, but unfortunatly the game finished before I got a chance to fill the basket to its entirety. I believe the Devs are on the path to success. Thank You.

It's really a amzing game. The Lighter Than Ar staff took care of the details, eg: controllers burners and valve parachude, wind effect and etc

Jogo lagado, nao conseguir jogar... uma pena.

Unpolished tech.demo with very ugly UI and bland environments. Worst part, it really had potential: hot air balloon simulator is a cool idea for VR app. With small room-scale requirements and intuitive controls it would have made a really good experience to show people who are new to VR. But the environments here are extremely boring, they feel like you are stuck in an uninspired Windows wallpaper. They lack any details or elements that could be used to perceive the scale of the world, making it impossible to tell how far anything is and ruining any feeling of vertigo. Environments were actually improved in Beta branch in 2019(the last update before the game was abandoned), but opting into it drops performance to zero. The game works on Reverb G2, but it looks like it is not optimized for it: I got steady fps only after dropping Steam super sampling to 60% on 6800 XT. Although maybe it is not optimized for AMD GPUs.

Yet another rushed VR experience... It could be great but it has nothing like what you see in the videos. I would be happy if it just gave me what I saw in the trailer... nothing more nothing less, but no... Don't waste your money, I won't be. Pro: - Nothing right now. Cons: - One map with no immerssion, no snow map, no night map. - The hot air balloon is on rails, abolutely no way of navigating. - The raise and lowering mechanics don't work, they just make noises. - There is an annoying soundtrack that you can't turn off. - Bad graphics. - No ambient sound. - Strange giant blue squares and arrows you can't turn off.

Still an early access experience, but the progress and work done regularly makes it more attractive everytime. It has it's flaws but the potential is here. I like it. It's unique and a good break, slow paced wandering ballons, but not only as there are several gameplay modes to enjoy. The devs are working hard and improving the experience rapidly, so buying it now is a good way to show support. I have exchanged feedback with them and they are definitely serious about achieving their vision. Looking forward to the next iterations! (Review written on Oct 2018)
