Starbear: Taxi

A cute and polished, refreshing little game. 5 seconds tutorial, arcade and efficient gameplay. It's the kind of experience i'd like to see more often. On a side note, i find that difficulty ramps up a little to fast, and there is no seated mode as advertised on the store page. The price is more than fair, and i already know after 30mn that's it is a game that i will coming back to from time to time.

Great little game! I love the style and the gameplay is adicting!

Just two huge drawbacks - too fast movement and quite disturbing rockets make each round finish quite quickly, certainly will drive-off kids from desire to play it repeatedly :\

It's $1.24 on sale. Fun and casual with expressive art and animations that are something out of a Mario game. Definitely benefits from a high resolution headset.

Within 60 mins i was world #2 in the third mode (Bullet Mode...which also appears to be poorly made or glitched view). having said that I'm pretty much an expert so let me give you the down-low. The game consists of 3 modes all single level. Not much going on with it, but for 4.99 / 2.49 on sale, you do get what you pay for which is a short arcade game with zero entertaining musical tracks and some controls that are wonky for a good half hour until you get that down. I do wish there was a chill mode or extended time b/c the first two modes are only 60 seconds long unless you consistently nail every delivery. The third mode is survival but on Quest2 the boss is behind you shooting bullets so well, i'm not going to try to explain it. It's just wonky, and you'll see what I mean if you play long enough to unlock it.

9/10 Love it . Shame that this isn't better known in the PC VR gaming world. Funkatronic really know how to make a good VR title. I only bought this as part of the Funkatronic bundle on steam , owing their other 2 titles (Fuji and the brilliant Cosmic Trip) otherwise I'd never have heard of it!. This is a great game with tight controls, great challenge and is just good fun to play. The game has a kind of "Crazy Taxi" style mechanic, where you start off with 60 seconds, but gain time with each fare you pickup, if you deliver them quickly enough you wont lose any time, if you are late, you will be closet to game over. The controls are TIGHT - You steer a ufo type ship by titling the controller and using the trigger to rise and letting go to fall - you pick up a variety of rides, some straight A->B trips, some with objectives. Other mechanics such as weight are there, but I won't ruin it. Brilliant arcade style VR game, well worth a fiver.

Works with Oculus Touch Controllers. Make sure you update stuff!! -------------------------------------------------------------- Previous Review -------------------------------------------------------------- Does not work with Oculus Touch Controllers

Starbear Taxi is a cute little VR game where you taxi bears around a futuristic city. You complete various tasks to earn honeycombs, with some tasks more difficult than others. As the game progresses, your randomly generated city slowly grows adding more platforms and obstacles. The gameplay can get pretty challenging, especially with the constant time pressure. The controls can take a bit of time to master, and are really what contributes to most of the challenge. Graphically, the game has a unique retro futuristic style that is highly polished. The cutsey audio also fits in well. This is more of an arcade style game that is great for shorter sessions, though it does include some additional game modes. Check this out if that sounds like something you'd be into!

This game and the other Funktronic title I've played, Cosmic Trip, are both driven by unique control schemes that make for really fun gameplay once you start to get them down. Each also has solid art direction for a unified feel to the visuals. Starbear: Taxi procedurally generates a little Jetson's style future city, starting with your taxi stand and adding on new building and more traffic lanes, challenges and obstacles as you go. There were a ton of little touches I won't spoil that made me laugh while I was playing. Easily worth the price on the tin, and don't wait as long as I did to install it and give it a go.

A cute and arcady high score chaser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD9W2J_q-jc Starbear: Taxi is short, sweet and to the point. You're a bear. You drive a taxi. Go for as long as you can. It doesn't try to do all the things. It just does one thing and it does it well. The controls are very simple albeit a tad awkward. I don't believe that is because the controls are bad, rather they're just difficult. I would argue that the skill of the game is in becoming comfortable with the controls. Starbear: Taxi is a game that's very easy to pick up and understand how to fly around but very difficult to master. This high skill cap could be a draw to many who still enjoy a good high score chaser. That being said, in a market that's saturated with VRcade titles with little point other than to get your name on a leaderboard, Starbear: Taxi will likely struggle. The game looked and sounded wonderful and recently had a price reduction. It's cute, it's cheap and it's challenging. It provides exactly what it advertises. Starbear: Taxi seems like a decent pickup for any VRcade fans.
