VROOM: Aerie

I've tried a lot of demos for the Rift and this is one of my favorites so far. It has become my go-to for showing new people what VR can do. I especially like the little surprises. (The fruit basket is my favorite!) So many gamers don't realize that good VR has nothing to do with running around maps and down corridors with a gun: it's all about hanging-out in cool settings like this one. I can't wait to try it out on a Vive! I may watch all my TV shows here. I also look forward to the Galleon you guys are working on.

I liked Galleon so much I picked this one up too, and don’t regret it. It’s different and smaller, but I guess that’s why it’s cheaper. There’s just a lot of fun stuff to do. My favorite is the dancing girl. I haven’t added tried my own videos yet on the TV, but it plays so smoothly I plan to soon.

Not bad for the price of a dinner at McDonalds. It's not something that's going to keep you coming back for hours, but for 6 bucks its an interesting 45 mintues or so. There is enough content to tinker with and I had a few chuckles. The atmosphere is nice (wish my apartment was that awesome!) and I like that you can mess with just about everything short of the actual walls. I'm also glad that I caught this after the little add on that lets you turn the lights off. I really like the look of the place in the day light from the huge windows. It makes me want to actually crash on one of the couches and grab a book or something. The little vehicle's are fun. The head tracking in the apache was brilliant. I flew the little sopwith out of the apartment and bounced off the roof and I was pretty surprised I didn't run into any invisible walls. It's apperent that there was effort put into making a finite space as interesting as possible. For some contructive criticism; I will say that the little R/C vehicle are fun, however, for some reason they made me a little bit queasy (and I've played a few games that are far more intense without having that problem). I'd recommend having a seat while trying to use them. Also the the model for the dancing lady with fruit on her head is VERY narfed. Or at least it was when I found her. Her arms where bent way above the elbow and her hips and legs where doing some strange things. It looked like the animation didn't quite line up with the model. A suggestion; This app or something similar would be neat to have as a media player option. Like if you could park on the couch and watch Netflix, another media streaming service, or play local content. Imagine that with a multiplayer function too! Sit and watch a movie with a friend or even a group! Overall, worth what I paid for it and a nice VR demo. To the folks who where negative about the price; If you can afford a VR head set and the cpu to run it, then you can afford 6 dollars (less then the cost of a movie out of a bargain bin) Someone put effort into this. They deserve to be paid for it.

I played this for 30 minutes. It's a really nicely done VR sandbox experience. My biggest complaint is that the use of touch controllers could have been done better. It's like this game was originally done for a VR and gamepad experience and the touch controls were added in later. Especially on Touch controllers, there's a tactile feel to picking up objects and playing with them. In this game, there's none of that. Instead you have like a laser pointer (or is it a fire pointer?) that gives you interaction with objects. There's an amazing amount of interactions that are mostly hits and only a few misses. I loved going into the fish water tank. I liked the old figher airplane (even thought he controls for all vehicles were clunky at best). I liked how interacting with the purple drink gave us a taste of purple haze. I liked the fruit basket gag. On the other hand, the toy car is broken. It doesn't go forward as intended. Pressing trigger makes the car jump forward and then stop. Conversely, it'll go reverse very fast. I liked Godzilla, but the graphics for him were mediocre at best. It was really a missed opportunity to bring a AAA experience to this app. Also, changing time to night or day is a nice surprise. But the night sky looks terrible. Absolutely bad job, no excuses for that poor level of detail. I do recommend this app. I had a wonderful sense of discovery for 30 minutes that only VR can bring. Just wish more time had been spent in refining the details. Sale Price Rating 6/10

Great job developers! I love this luxury condo. The little secrets are funny and fun to play. Please don't take anything away. However, why is the Master bedroom nonfunctional? Open it up, and add a luxury bath. The lady behind the door can be added as a shadow in the bedroom shower. (wink) Also, add a cute puppy and a hot maid.

Someone put a lot of effort into to making this, so purchase it only if you're a passionate supporter of indie developers, don't expect a high-quality product. The apartment interior is fairly realisticly rendered and there are a few quirky surprises, but there's zero replay value and you'll experience what little it has to offer in less than 10 mins. Sound design and effects are poor.

This experience offers so much to explore and play with, everytime I go in I find something new. I see loads of potential for easter eggs and expansions. I love the mood changing effects when you alter time, or choose a colored glass, or see what happens when you play with Godzilla dolls! I found myself trying to test the boundaries of the helicopter by flying it outside on the balcony and was pleasantly surprised that I could! It's all the details that went into this apartment that make it such a fun place to spend some time, the music choices and sound effects were great. Bravo on this experience, I can't help but feel I missed something which is why I will explore it again..right now!
