Cool, but the room is too big! I have a pretty big playspace (3.5 x 2.5) and I couldn't reach some of the walls without banging my controllers on the wall.

I really like the little helicopter dude who brings you the paint, very cute. The "floppiness" of the brush is also amazing. I just wish I could have painted more!

OK apparently I'm stupid and didn't realize that you could teleport. Got through the first painting section (painting is satisfying). I think that 2 minutes is probably too long. Then I got to the "hammer" section, which was cool, I hammered in 1 nail, and then my hammer disappeared.

The flying guy really got into my personal space WAY too much. Like... he would just fly right into my head and be directly in the way of where I wanted to paint. It was kinda funny though?

Overall, I was getting a bit bored by doing the same task for so long. Wish that the hammer didn't disappear. I think it's a cool idea though, well done!

Woohoo! Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I didn't really get to playtest this properly with people other than myself so I left the timings quite high!

Hammer disappearing - Most common cause for this for me was teleporting too close to a wall and your hands ending up on the other side, solution is to then teleport back instead of walking back so they teleport back with you



Or it could've been one of the other bugs!

Yeah, flying guy needs tweaking a bit, he was designed to try and be in range even if you're playing sitting down (I was for most of devving this :p), but he's a bit too aggressively close

Didn't have time to chase all the bugs down sadly! Thanks !

Nice work, but as TheSambassador said, the room is massive, and the timings are way too long. The hammer stage I got completed pretty fast then had to sit there for a minute as I waited for the timer to tick down. If it know when things are hung, it should end the level as soon as you've hung both. Triggers to pick stuff up would've been nice since they weren't otherwise used.

I loved the floppy paintbrush physics. Hammering in the nail was fun. The helper was really annoying though, he needs to stay farther back.

I like that VR is still novel enough that doing mundane tasks is fun (to be fair a lot of games have you do mundane things). I enjoyed decorating the rooms, but wish the robot understood personal space. ^_^

The game speeds up quite a bit after the tutorial... it was hard to get much done, and as previously stated the robot getting in the way made the game feel crowded.

Some Bugs I Noticed:
- Paintings could get stuck to each other (you can spend some time wedging them apart... but it's a fast paced game)
- When there are two paint brushes (and you are mixing colors) only the brush attached to one of the controllers will have it's color updated
- Nails could be "hammered" into air

Good effort on this! I could tell there was a lot of work put into the game, and I had fun playing it. Thanks!
