That's a nice leaf blower! The turbo launch was very satisfying.

Very nice.

Incredible! This is the best one I played yet. Physics are on point. Who needs gravity gun when you have a leaf blower? I wish there are more levels. Lovely doggo, pat it for me please.

That was awesome! Easy to understand mechanics and entertaining gameplay. One small thing, maybe when the leafblower is on your back it could automatically stop making noise, was a bit confused why it made noise while i wasn't using it. Otherwise great job!

Thanks for playing! It shouldn't be making noise while you're not holding it, that's a bug D:

The theme and execution is just so good! Makes me wonder if you could do this with different pieces of lawn equipment.

This game was awesome. I really liked it, definitely felt the portal theme. It felt like a mix of portal and the gravity gun. Overall the mechanics were solid and the design was cool. I liked it a lot. It didn't seem that original but it's a great novel combination of preexisting ideas.

Thanks for playing! I had more mechanics planned but sadly ended up running out of time to flesh them out, so when it came time for level design I just decided 'alright welp, gravity gun puzzles'. That's pretty much the only part of the game that I'm not happy with and sort of makes me want to flesh it out into a small release.

Submitted

I definitely think it could be a full game.

Can you check out my team's game as well? We only have 4 ratings right now: https://symbioticparker.itch.io/a-wizards-wand

Played fine on my Vive. Very enjoyable puzzle game, everything worked smoothly and you can definitely feel the Portal inspiration. I really liked the art direction in the beginning. Great submission.

I did not expect the unexpected, great job!

At first I thought it was boring, until I found the basement.

The puzzle part was good.

HTC Vive User here: hahahaha you really did that with the stock images as models xD

The Robot Voice is really nice made, how did you do this? 5 star rating sent, because its lots of fun! Thanks for your submission! Really nice, how did you do the teleport to the ground?

While you are here I've played yours, so please check my game out in the button below. I wonder if you can play it with your headset.

Thanks for playing! Glad everything worked on the Vive as I no longer have mine to test with lol.
For the robot effect, the main thing is to stack up delay, it's kind of like a really quick echo, makes it sound so crunchy. Another major component in the sound was a high & low EQ curve that I used to make it sound less rich and as if it was coming from an intercom.

For teleportation I just used the SteamVR plugin's already made system and placed invisible collision planes everywhere the player can teleport to.

Anyway, thanks again for playing & rating! I plan on playing most all of the games, I like your trailer so I'll definitely play it in today's session.

Submitted

Is there any chance you can show me your Code or something? I really wanna know how you did it. Maybe we can share each others project files?

Developer

For the teleportation? It's just the SteamVR Teleportation prefab that comes with the SteamVR plugin, didn't program it at all.

This is the best leaf blowing simulation I have ever come across, bar none. It is the only leaf blowing simulator for VR that is worth checking out. Graphics are up there with photorealistic leafs, immersive sounds, realistic leaf physics, and relatable leafblowing scenarios. No filthy rake users here. Five Stars!

Feels very portal like, love the opening!!!

Submitted(+1)

I wasn't expecting that! Haha! And I love the cutout shapes for the decor. So cool. Well done on this, original for sure :)

What an unassuming title, but so well done!  Don't want to spoil it for anyone else, but definitley worth a play.  Great job!
