Cube Jumper VR

Could be great...one MAJOR flaw

I grabbed this because I live platformers. The general aesthetic looked pretty cool as well, and the opening presentation seemed polished. Unfortunately, the game is unplayable due to a single flaw I'd never thought I'd see in a VR game: the locomotion doesn't work. In the tutorial, the first directive says to jump with the trigger (interesting configuration, but not a deal-breaker) and to move with a stick. I could jump straight upward, but not move anywhere. I closed out of the tutorial and tried to play the "free play" game mode. Technically, I could move in this game mode, but it was so horribly glitchy that it makes the game completely unplayable. It was as if I had the most extreme case of stick drift ever (I don't have any stick drift). The game just forces you in random directions regardless of which way you are pushing the stick, making locomotion functionally impossible. It's truly maddening and game-breaking. I've never played a VR game in which the movement isn't properly developed. It's a shame because Cube Jumpers had a lot of promise otherwise.

Doesn't support standing mode

The store lists standing mode support but if you turn with your feet it's completely unplayable since the game has no idea which way you're facing if you don't use artificial turning. The graphics are nice. The music is a short loop that quickly becomes unbearable. I have this developer's upcoming game "Trenches of Death" on my wishlist but after playing this game I'm wondering if it'll even be playable in standing or room scale modes. It sounds like QUACKBIRTH may have run into the same turning issue I found. Their review was over a year ago. No updates or replies from the developer. This really doesn't bode well for Trenches of Death .
