FlyCatcher

⠀

FlyCatcher is a free VR game, that is also a scientific study. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You have a choice of 6 animals that have shooting tongues. I didn't know that salamanders have a shooting tongue, made me look on the Internet and read about salamanders. In this game, each animal has the same long fast tongue. But i think in reality, they have different lengths and widths with difference in speed of deployment and retraction. I think the dev mentioned they are more studying the flying insects behaviors in eluding capture. Well, this does make for an fun little shooter game. You have to agree that your data generated from playing this game is ok to be used in a research study. Has a profile manager that lets you change your animal, delete your profile, create new profile. CONS: Does Not work on Index controllers. Try it, for a little fun and help a scientist out.

While the data in this case is anonymised and ostensibly for academic purposes, there's no guarantee that your data will be handled safely and no indication who it will be shared with. Gamers must be aware of the dangers of installing this harmful software and should avoid this completely.[/Quote] "FlyCatcher" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from University of Lincoln. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is an…

MMMMMMM fly.

Игра FlyCatcher – это простая, но затягивающая аркада, в которой вы играете за лягушку, пытающуюся наловить как можно больше мух. Управление интуитивно понятное – просто кликайте, чтобы высунуть язык. Сначала может показаться слишком легким, но по мере продвижения мухи летают быстрее и появляются всевозможные препятствия, вроде колючих кустарников, которые не дадут вам покоя. Что особенно понравилось – это минималистичный визуальный стиль и спокойная фоновая музыка. Они создают расслабляющую атмосферу, несмотря на динамичный геймплей. Игра отлично подходит для коротких перерывов, когда нужно быстро отвлечься и немного развлечься. Из минусов – со временем может стать немного однообразной, так как механика не предлагает особого разнообразия. Однако, учитывая простоту и доступность игры, это вполне простительно. В целом, FlyCatcher – это приятное времяпрепровождение, которое подойдет любителям казуальных аркад. Рекомендую попробовать!
