About Glider Island
Glider Island VR is a skill based hang gliding game where your objective is to collect as many hoops as you can within 10 minutes. You must keep airborne by using your rocket booster attached to your glider! You can add rocket fuel by flying through the blue spirals randomly placed around each map. You must plot your coarse carefully and watch out for the obstacles each map throws your way. You have limited booster so be careful with how much you use and when you choose to collect the blue spirals!
Each month we host a tournament and the top winners will receive Amazon Gift Cards. Keep track of your scores on the in-game leaderboards and online here http://www.5drealities.com/Leaderboards.aspx
There are 3 maps and each map comes with unique scenery, soundtrack and surprise event. All maps now unlocked on purchase. The first map is Forest Island with 150 hoops and every two minutes a thunderstorm occurs and you must fight the wind. The second map is Volcano Island with 175 hoops and every two minutes a Volcano erupts and you must dodge lava bombs! The Last Island is Desert Island with 200 hoops and every two minutes a Dust Storm occurs and you must fly with limited visibility and wind. We are constantly updating the game so expect the scenery to be updated often.
There are two main ways to control the glider. VR Hand Controllers or VR Head Movement. Each has their own perks. Hand Controls allow for more precision flying but causes your arms to get tired where Head Controls is more intuitive and causes less motion sickness. We also support flying with the Xbox controller or Mouse/ Keyboard if you are so inclined to used those as well.
We support Arcades! If you own a location based arcade you can licence Glider Island via Springboard, SynthesisVR, Viveport, or through Steam Site Licensing Program.
Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR
Available for Arcades on SythesisVR
BONUS*: FREE ACCESS to Glider Sim Prototype! This is a much more simulated hang glider experience also developed by 5D Realities. It is a work in progress and will most likely be our next VR title on steam. You can learn more here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/500110/announcements/detail/563351089224178004

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Glider Island, developed by Joey Sipos and published by 5D Realities, is a focused aerial experience that blends arcade-style objectives with the sensation of freeform flight, primarily designed with virtual reality in mind. Rather than attempting to simulate realistic aviation, it takes a more accessible approach, placing players in control of a glider and challenging them to stay airborne, navigate floating islands, and collect targets within a time limit. The premise is simple, but it’s built around a core idea that emphasizes movement, spatial awareness, and efficient use of limited resources. The gameplay revolves around maintaining altitude and momentum while weaving through a series of floating rings scattered across open environments. You rely on a combination of gliding physics and limited rocket boosts to stay in the air, which introduces a constant balancing act between conserving fuel and pushing for higher scores. This system creates a satisfying loop where planning your route becomes just as important as executing it. Picking up energy refills mid-flight encourages players to think ahead, chaining movements together to maintain a continuous rhythm. When everything co…1 found this helpful
I really like this game. I would prefer that it allowed you to use momentum & speed to generate lift, but for this price you can't have everything. It's a VR must have. If for no other reason than a great tool to demo for your friends who want to experience an uncomplicated VR game.1 found this helpful
Fun , and challenging , works with a keyboard and mouse.
Great glider fun!
good game
(Vive) Wish there were modes other than just "collect as many as you can in 9ish minutes". That being said, still seems to be a pretty smooth experience. I realize it's a different sport, but if Rush makes you sick, then this might be a better flying experience for you. However this doesn't run as well on my PC (mainly once Volcano starts exploding or it rains). Worth a shot if it looks interesting to you.
