Squingle

サイケな見た目が注目されがちかもしれないが、ゲーム性は「VR立体くるくるくるりん」といった感じでシンプルだがよく出来ている。接触判定が良い意味で緩く、ダメージになりそうなときは視覚・触覚・聴覚の全てに分かりやすくフィードバックをくれるので遊びやすい。ステージ数も多くボリュームは十分。 ひたすらステージをクリアしていくタイプの地味なゲームだが、ゲーム性が気に入れば夢中になった遊べると思う。

I wasn't sure what to expect from this game, but I was lucky enough to get a free copy of it from the developer. The game definitely feels inspired by a pharmaceutical journey, but is actually a pretty nifty puzzle game in the realm of those old school hoops around a wire that you used to see in fairs with a twist that the "hoop" is spinning and you have to move it along the path as it spins to avoid "bursting your colon" for lack of a better term. The music and visuals are very relaxing, but the colors do get a bit intense after playing for a while. After taking my headset off, my eyes feel a bit like they had a work out. The puzzles are a bit confusing at first as you just get thrown in. What are the two colors spinning, what do the little dots do, what do the globs do, what does the other glob do. After playing for a dozen levels or so, I was able to figure it out mostly. The colors of the rotating balls are meaningless except to help you distinguish rotation. The green dots are just optional challenges, like getting 3 stars in angry birds level. Some blobs are checkpoints, the other is the exit, though it's a bit hard to tell the difference. The gameplay is pretty good, though there is some hiccups when you grab the ball to start moving it (might be caused by Virtual Desktop though). I wish you could freely rotate the world space in all directions, but it just spins and translates. It can be a bit hard to see where you are in 3d space (due to the previously mentioned bright colors). This is ok for the most part since you can just let go in a safe area and rotate a bit, but when you are going through a complex stretch it can cause some frustration. I haven't checked yet, but maybe there are some options to change opacity, if not, that would be a good addition. The last thing I'd mention is prepare for your arms to get tired. Everything from menus and navigation requires you to be reaching out in front of you the whole time and I could see it starting to get tiring after a bit, but is fine for shorter stints, which this game is good for. All and all I'd say it's worth the price if you want to experience some unique visuals and a cute little puzzler that is reminiscent of early experiments in VR like with the dev that made BLARP

I tried the demo, and gave it a shot. This is a pretty cool game for VR. The trailer is a recording of the mirror screen, on the headset the colors and shading are much more vibrant. The background is a bit on the low-res end of things at times, but you won't be spending much time looking at that.. I have not gotten that far in at the time of review, but its more of the same with increasingly more difficult levels. Anyways, I'm glad I gave it a go.

Disclosure product key received for free. Developers were kind enough to give away copies to players who tested the beta and provided feedback before it launched. This in no way influences my opinion. Listed play time is not accurate. Review: *Just all round excellent game with solid/fun gameplay mechanics. *Lovely dazzling, chill ambient soothing visuals and setting. *Controls feels smooth, responsive and intuitive. * Interesting and unique design concept makes navigating a puzzle utilising VR really stand out and shine.

It seems like a simple concept. You get the little spheres through the maze to the goal and sometimes collect other little spheres along the way. Squingle isn't as simple as it looks and later levels become quite challenging. It takes the concept of those old carnival midway don't touch the wire games and combines with mazes that in many case need to be rotated and explored across different paths to reach a solution. This game is definitely lovingly built for VR and I keep going back to it for more. With 100 levels plus 2x speed challenges and a trippy replay, this one has given me hours of enjoyment in demo form, on the Quest with an App Lab version of the game and now on Steam as well. Squingle is fantastic!

Video of my first dip into the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEbRRV4Mb5g It's VR. It's psychedelic. It's affordable. It's chill. It's a puzzle that can be played room scale, stood or sat. From what I've played so far there even seems to be a hint of a narrative to follow. I'm sold and I wish I'd found it sooner! Seriously, if you like a good chill VR puzzle, and if you're as old as me and feel you need a hint of Minter in your puzzles, you're gonna love this.

I recommend if you enjoyed things like Tetris, Last Clockwinder, etc.

Squingle is legit the best game I saw at GDC. I love the cool shaders, the haptics, the audio feedback.. GREAT puzzle game! If you're looking for something chill that is visually amazing, check out Squingle.

For me best relaxing game. Easy puzzle, calm good music and unusual idea

This is a puzzle game that stands out in its uniqueness, truly leveraging the capabilities of VR. It’s hard to put into words, but it has mechanics reminiscent of Kuru Kuru Kururin, with the twist of manoeuvring into a 3D worm-like bubble. It’s a prime pick for casual VR gaming, featuring an eye-catching psychedelic design and a calming, beautifully composed soundtrack. The puzzles start off easy and progressively get more complex, adding more sophisticated mechanics and puzzles to keep the game engaging and challenging. If you struggle with a level too much, help is provided to keep the gaming experience enjoyable and frustration-free.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1439040/Squingle/#
