About Tower Island: Explore, Discover and Disassemble
Tower Island was built exclusively for VR on the HTC Vive and takes full advantage of “Room Scale” playability by placing you on a virtual island that is ready to be explored. Part scavenger hunt, part puzzle, part strategy, 100% fun filled adventure for all ages!
You can sit back and enjoy the scenery but the real fun starts to unfold as you explore every inch of the island. Uncover secrets as you scour the vibrant, colorful landscape in search of clues. Each clue gives you the opportunity to unlock a brand new puzzle. Each puzzle is a carefully crafted tower ready for you to disassemble.
Scale plays a huge part in this game. Virtual reality conveys a real sense of size from miniaturized towers that give you a giants perspective, allowing you to see how each tower is built and plan out the best ways to deconstruct them, to giant towers that make you realize how small you really are. Creatively remove pieces of each tower to earn more points! Watch as dynamic physics effectively create new solutions and outcomes for each puzzle, providing excellent replayability.
Tower Island features an all original music soundtrack that consists of over 25 pieces of catchy music designed to not only immerse you in the game but to keep you playing well into the night. Not only will you undoubtedly have a favorite puzzle, but you will also have a favorite song or two as well. This isn't some cheesy, 8-bit soundtrack. Each track is grand and carefully composed to make each tower feel larger than life.
5 towers are available to you from the start. Want more? Then start looking! 20 towers are carefully hidden throughout the play area. Locating certain secrets will transport you to far off lands where you must complete mini games or solve puzzles in order to unlock your next tower. Finding each tower is a fun and rewarding experience.
What are you waiting for? Strap on your VR headset and get ready to have tons of fun!

Some sort of prototype. Teleportation just clips through everything and there's no game in it. You might call it a VR experience but only if you are in to experience disapointment. it costs 10 euros. Wow.7 found this helpful
OK if like me you brought in a bundle and had no idea what this game was and what to do it's a giant puzzle game/book think Jenga in VR including apple hunt etc. Probably should have watched the video first as there is ♥♥♥♥ all help in game. Not my sort of game and looks a little my first unity project, with different projects thrown into one game. Soundtrack is annoying and seem to double up when going to different areas (god knows how I got there or how I could get back) At $10 seems steep I would look around $2 to $3 and better still if you get in a bundle for 10 games for $5 Can't really recommend not for me but who knows you may find it more enjoyable than I. Dev's more help is needed in the game.5 found this helpful
It's a first attempt at making a VR game and a bad one, voice acting/tutorial was funny though! Tells you to put a block on the floor, then tells you to not do that, doesn't even mention how to teleport lol ♥♥♥♥♥.4 found this helpful
Cool idea, but parts of it were too non-intuitive. The main game dynamic gets old after a few levels.1 found this helpful
If you get this game in a bundle like I did, then it is a good one to have. Good puzzle game for about an hour. Other than that, not worth the $10 price tag.
A neat little puzzle and exploration game. The graphics are very basic, but that doesn't really detract as it's a puzzle game which kind of benefits from clear price, if not details gfx. The disassembling part of the game is quite energetic, and I did occasional swing widly outside my play area trying to throw and reach blocks, which I think only added to the experience. Trying to find the hidden puzzles is tricky because the exploration features clipping rather too much. I think I found about 5 of the 20 hidden ones without too much difficulty, but gave up trying to get to other places after a while because I couldn't tell whether I was meant to reach them via some clever secret, or by abusing the clipping issues. I got this game as part of a bundle and for the approx £0.50 it effectively cost - well worth it! Even at £5 it would be good. Certainly not quality of a full £30 VR game, but I can see myself coming back to it quite a bit.
