Yupitergrad is the plunger-driven kosmonaut game where you can swing through space station with style all in cell-shaded graphics. Can you believe that grappling hooks is the definitive way of locomotion in place like this? It's one of a kind experience, where VR platformer meets puzzles in a single player campaign, thrills in Time Attack mode and freedom in Gymnasion Mode.

  • Indiana Jones-like navigation where you use grappling hooks and boosters? It's like a jam and peanut butter combination
  • Campaign with over 50 levels, wacky plot and a dose of slavic humour and dad jokes;
  • Time Attack mode where you swing through 50 arcade levels and with leaderboards;
  • Gymnasion mode - a place where you can swing and train crazy stunts;
  • Long list of energetic and atmospheric tracks;
  • Unique dieselpunk-in-space vibe;
  • 120hz support on Oculus Quest 2.

[To start Gymnasion, use the console in the space capsule (the same place where you can start Time Attack Mode) or use on-hand menu]

Great Game, but I Wish it had

As the title says this is a great game. It's a good story and has tons of replayability with the 50 time mode levels. The one thing I wish the devs would add is a way to replay the training tutorial. It is one of the best tutorials and I have plenty of friends and family that would love the game but instead of them being able to learn it by playing the outstanding tutorial, they have to put on the headset while I try to explain to them what to do and how to do it. This hasn't worked very well. DEVS: Please add a way to replay the tutorial for this great game.

Way more than just some lazy backward Rs

One thing that doesn't get enough attention is the distinctly Slavic style of this game. The writing and voice work is subtly hilarious, with genuine accents (not just someone rolling their Rs and swapping Vs for Ws) and sly pokes at Soviet era communism. Lovely to see this attention to detail, especially being Slavic myself. Gameplay is solid, but do remember to get a solid footing. It's easy to get queasy staring straight up a high solo, or duck your head from a fast-approaching doorway. Advice: the best moments are when you get into a flow state by just "going for it". Spidey doesn't hesitate, neither should you

Omg I’m so glad this is a thing

Omg. I am blown away by this game. It has the most unique visuals of any game and it’s basically Spider-Man VR and red matter mushed together and then a time trial type game mode that is just awesome and adds loads of replayibility. And only 15 dollars. I honestly feel sorry for people who bought richies plank experience for the same price instead of this absolute gaming masterpiece. At least through my eyes. Devs, I hope that people will remember this game because I love it I look forward to going back to yupitergrad later tonight.

Spiderman in Space ..... with plungers?!

Fun gameplay on my YT channel: Get To Da Choppa VR Yupitergrad on the Oculus Quest is a single player platforming game that is set upon a Russian space station, where you will need to navigate your way through a variety of obstacles that all seem to want to crush, squish or grind you to death! Navigation is managed through shooting out elasticated plungers and then using those to swing through the environment. It’s like if Spiderman and Mario got jiggy one night and their offspring was raised in Russia and then sent to space! Other than swinging around there isn’t really any other gameplay elements to speak of, other than the occasional button to interact with and the story is pretty thin although does have some nice humour to it. The main story campaign has a steady difficulty curve as you progress and will take around 2 hours to complete and whilst it is great fun to actually play, there isn’t really any replay-ability or reason to go back and play it again. That being said, there are time trial courses that have online leader boards and these are probably my favourite part of the game as they encourage you to improve your skills and they give you a reason to keep coming for more as you work to swing past the competition (you see what I did there). Graphically there is nothing to complain about as it looks good with the cel shaded style, which to be fair, always works well in VR. Overall this a fun albeit short game that is kind of a one and done for me and probably will be for most other people as well. I don’t think this is a bad thing as I did really enjoy playing this but just to keep your expectations in check.
