Glider Island

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…

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.

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.
