About Galactic Protection Squad | Episode 1
Educational Details:
This game examines the following curricular concepts in mathematics: simple multiplication, balanced equations, whole numbers, parts of a whole number, subtracting from a whole, and visual representations of simple fractions. In the first 7 levels, players build their skills in these educational concepts and the final level is an assessment, testing the player's new knowledge. There are altogether 40 concepts involving fractions in middle school math, and future game episodes will complete the rest of these learning goals.
Visualizing and interacting with fractions is a struggle for many students, in elementary, secondary, and university years. This game is a virtual reality experience where students build kinesthetic intuition towards operations involving fractions while engaging with problem-based activities in an experiential setting. This adventure escape room based game allows students to use their curiosity for solving the puzzles, which sequentially build the skills necessary to understand, visualize and complete operations with fractions.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players consistently praise this educational VR game for its excellent graphics, smooth intuitive gameplay, and effectiveness at teaching fractions without causing motion sickness—making it particularly valuable for children and students. However, reviewers note the game is quite short (30-50 minutes), with some finding the core puzzles and interactions overly simplistic for adult players, and occasional complaints about rough teleportation mechanics. Overall, it's well-regarded as an educational tool but best suited for its intended younger audience rather than experienced gamers seeking comp
Highly recommended particularly for educational purposes. The game has very high quality graphics and the gameplay experience is very smooth and intuitive. I am interested to see their next episodes as it has done a great job on gamifying the learning process for mathematical concepts in schools.3 found this helpful
I played this on a Valve Index. This is a space/sci-fi puzzle game with puzzles that rely on logic/math, great for everyone of all ages but especially for kids/students who want a fun/visual/immersed way to learn fractions. As the description says, it is a short game, I completed it in about 50 minutes. This is one of the very few VR games were I played it entirely without taking off the headset as I did not feel any motion sickness at all (in other VR games I normally feel it after playing for a while), so this was great. To move in the game you can either choose where you would like to teleport to and/or you can also walk around your room space. For turning you can either use the common snap turn or simply turn in real-life. Concerning computer specifications, my computer only has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 and it ran without any problems. The level design aspects were great, the futuristic/sci-fi/welcoming feel to it loosely reminds me of one of my favorite games, Final Fantasy VIII with its schools/gardens environments. I especially felt this in scenes where you see vegetation and views of the Earth. I enjoyed the puzzles as they get a bit harder over time which was nice as…3 found this helpful
[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift[/h1] [i]Please note: I received a free Steam key through the Steam Curator Connect program[/i] Confession time: I should have read the store page description a little closer before accepting this game as part of the Steam Curator Connect program. This game is obviously not meant for me. This is an educational program for young kids where you learn fractions, that is a simple escape room. I beat the game in about 30 minutes. Most of the difficulty was just teleporting around and trying to stay awake. Reminds me of my elementary school days actually. Anyways, you learn fractions. Elementary level. The graphics are okay for this type of game I suppose. However, the teleportation is pretty rough. The interactions are basic. Mostly just touch the button here or select the number there. The puzzles are perfect for elementary kids, especially those who may not normally like math. I'm not sure it's worth $10, but then again, it is a pretty unique game. Can you really put a price on educational value? I mean it's Steam so yes you can, but still. I mean if you can make learning fun, this is about as fun as you can make fractions. Lots of visualized ques…3 found this helpful
Fantastic VR experience for either children learning basic Math or adults looking for an ego boost by tackling basic problems. More than worth it's price point.
Awesome game for teaching math. Great graphics and fun activities during the game. I am very sensitive to motion sickness and I didn't fill anything during playing this game. Highly recommended.
