~~ Epilepsy Warning ~~
The fast speeds and repeated textures in this game cause the appearance of flashing lights. If you are prone to seizures, playing this game is a danger to your health and safety.
Thread the Void is an action/arcade game that requires a VR headset to fully experience its unique thrills. Weave in and out of neon blocks as you try to activate the 8 strips in each of the 8 action-packed tunnels. VR headset recommended but not required.

As you travel down the first tunnel, a landscape of brightly colored neon blocks slowly passes you by. You suddenly move your head too quickly, and you collide with a bright purple cross. Your vision becomes stained in red, though you see in the corner of your vision that your health is slowly returning. All hope is not lost!
The pace increases. Your head yaws and rolls in the flow of survival instinct, and you begin to think this is the run. Your score ticks up quicker and quicker. Every second, a new brush with failure. Every second, a new opportunity for greatness.
As the jovial (though sometimes melancholic) music rises, a monolith approaches with two ways through. You can either enter the dark and foreboding blackness with no sense of what lies behind, or you may enter the safe and predictable entryway. Do you choose to guard what remains of your health in the hopes of a higher score? Or do you choose to Thread the Void?

Reviews
This is fun arcade style VR game with great music. It can also be played without VR which is nice when you don't feel like busting out your headset. You travel down colourful tunnels dodging blocks. The further you travel the faster you move and the more points you get. With enough points you can then access the next level. You can also try to find "the void" which is a dark space in between the blocks. When you pass through a void it lights up the surface of the tunnel you were on. In the level select screen there is a space in the middle of the 8 level octagon which makes me think that if you find all of the voids something secret might happen... Pros The music is fun It is colourful High replayability Indie developer Cons ? Not much, it's fun and well priced. It is challenging though, I need to work on my dodge skills. But I think this adds to the replayability. I was an alpha tester for the game and so received it for free.
