Waba

OUTDATED REVIEW: [strike] TRASH GAME LITERALLY 3 MINUTES OF CONTENT AND THE DEV SAID THEY WOULD UPDATE THE GAME AND 3 YEARS LATER WE AINT GOT NOTHING. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TRASH LMAO [/strike] Edit July 28, 2022: Coming back to this to update this review. The game was a lot of fun for about 5 minutes and is perfect for showing the capabilities of a vr pet game. However i still would not recommend ever buying this unless you are rich and can blow money on it. I would love to see an update to this game however, this is most likely never happening. Overall, it was enjoyable for a one time small experience, but if you are looking for a tamagotchi pet type game this is not it.

Is this still being developed? I see another poster asked aboutthe color changing feature demonstrated in the game video, and that was back in July. Is that ( and any other) feature still in the works? I'll give it a sad do not reccomend, as it is cute for kids, but it's not feature complete and it doesn't seem like it's being worked on.

There's just nothing here, this "game" has about 3 minutes worth of gameplay before you've done it all. You'll get more value and entertainment out of any of the VR short films for sale on Steam. The screenshots show everything there is to see/do in this game; throw a ball, feed it, put it to sleep. The animations and physics are not anything interesting. I think I've learned an important lesson about reviews on Steam based on my decision to buy this: don't trust positive reviews with less than an hour of play time endorsing a game. 1/10 - I asked for a refund after 10 minutes.

2 Minute Video Review → https://youtu.be/zPi8aSTwsi0 The game Waba is about spending time with an adorable little creature of the same name. At the very beginning the game attaches glove hands to your controllers. After you’re directed to hatch an egg the Waba appears before you. You’re free to push, squish, or pet Waba however you like and Waba seems to enjoy it all. Engaging with Waba this way with the motion controllers feels surprisingly real, it’s quite adorable and easy to enjoy. On your left hand is a pullout string menu that gives you three environments to summon. The first one is about feeding Waba food, the 2nd is a game of fetch with you throwing the ball and Waba retrieving it, and the 3rd is about rocking Waba to sleep. And that’s all there is to it. I have to admit that playing with Waba is fun and relaxing. It’s quite adorable and easy to love. But it’s a little overpriced at $5. I wish it was cheaper, or there was more to do with Waba. I think you know already if this is something you would enjoy. Keep in mind there isn’t much content in here, but it’s a very well made cuddly pet simulator.

It's really cute, I'm looking for more interaction options!

Perfect for age 5+ and for those who just want to zone out and relax with a very tolerant pet. Waba's physics can give you a giggle sometimes, and other times might not do what you expect. Just be patient with it. There are currently only 3 activities, but we're looking forward to updates. A question: We saw in the store video that you can change waba's color, but we can't find that feature in our version. Can someone help us find it? Will updating the app help? An Idea: My kid on her second day playing said "i wonder what color waba i'll get today" when waba was about to hatch. Maybe this could be a fun feature to have, a different surprise color when waba hatches, but also include the ability to change its color result afterward, in case i get orange and don't prefer orange for example. Just an idea.

It's charm is a bit hard to convey without experiencing it in VR. From an aesthetic point-of-view, Waba is seriously so cute and cuddly. But it is truly the interaction and physicality of the experience that really makes Waba shine. Really excited to see how the game progresses. It is already on a great path.

Also das ist das süßeste virtuelle Haustier was ich je gesehen habe und ich würde es am liebsten nicht nur in der virtuellen Welt, sondern auch in der realen Welt knuddeln :D Da dies das erste VR-Haustier ist (welches ich kenne und gut finde) und auch die Grundfunktionen besitzt: Füttern, Spielen, Schlafen, kann ich diese Spiel nur empfehlen. Ich würde mir aber noch von dem Entwickler wünschen, das er Stats einbaut, so das man weiß ob und wie sehr das Waba hungrig/müde ist etc. auch könnte ich mir Waschen des Waba und Medizin vorstellen. Ich wünschte halt, das es funktionen wie ein Tamagotchi (Gerät der 90er) oder Pou (Android-App) hat. Thats the cutest virtual Pet that i have ever seen and i want to cuddle it not only in the virtual world rather in real world :D While this is the first VR-Pet (which i know and like) and also the mainfunctions have: feed, play, sleep, i can recommend that game. But i want to like that the developer adds stats to the game, so that we can see when the Waba is hungry/tired ... also i can imagine to wash the Waba or get medic when it is ill. I wish that it hase functions like a Tamagotchi (Device of the 90s) or Pou (Android-App) has.
