Playthings: VR Music Vacation

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/q_XbpqyT86A There really isn't much to this game. However, the visuals are absolutely joyous and colorful. You get to mess around with musical instruments, which can be anything from Donuts, Hamburgers, Hog Dogs, Gummy Bears, or Jelly Beans. You can use drum sticks, tongs (to move items around), or a huge hammer (to play more stuff or far away stuff). There isn't much content. You have 5 different environments, which includes 3 food themed environments, a teleport room, and a locked music video type room where you can finally drum along to this happy song. I really enjoyed the included song. I just wish they had done more of these. The game is running on the Unity Engine. I had variable frame rates on my 1060 GTX with frame rates starting usually at 90 frames per second, but dropping to as low as 20 fps, especially when lots of instruments were being played. This game could be better optimized. There is no locomotion. You do have to play within your play space. Unfortunately, that can be quite the challenge as some of the objects and teleport portals are …

What a wonderful, wonderful thing you created! Thank you so much, guys! This game is just a little experience to play around with, for good-hearted people open to fresh peaceful wonderlands. But what a polished and cute one! I love the fact that it's just a simple thing, with no score, no nothing, just a *game to have fun*. It needs a bit of space (or to tweak your playspace with SteamVR Advanced Settings), but it really goes well with the controllers and head tracking to give you a real VR feeling (once again, a short one). Thanks again to the creators! Love you guys!

This game was cute. Definently made for children. The only time it actualy felt like a rhytham game with an objective was at the end after you opened the large gate. However still very cute. Play space needed is larger than expected. That would be the only draw back.

Although the game is extremely short, it can just be used as a casual musical playground. especially playing the hamburger drums can be entertaining for a long time.

Wonderful game. Yes, it's short, but lots of musical possibilities, First played this at Tribeca Film Festival and was so glad to see it on steam. Great for all ages and no violence.

There's not a whole lot of substance to this game, and it's honestly nothing special in terms of actually being able to make much music with it, but I did have a decent amount of fun with this regardless and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and colourful experience. It's an older VR title now, but the environment that they made is stylized in a way that allows it to stand out from other VR titles from the original burst of similar-length VR games in 2016. Really enjoyed the feeling that staring into the portal gives you, especially the final end portal. Neat!
