nice art, really liked it, well done!
Interesting use of VR. I found adjusting the camera angle a bit clunky and felt like having someway to adjust Violet's distance from you would be nice. More spells would be awesome too. Good looking art and the vr bit works well, good job, well done.
oh damn, makes me wish I had a VR headset
very interesting the use of VR, well done
took a sec to understand but i really enjoyed this game!
Pretty cool game! I wish I had the balls to make a VR game for this LD, but maybe next time I will. The monster looks really awesome and I liked the flying control. After I got rid of the other girls the monster's health kept going down and it seemed like there was nothing more to do?
Also why didn't anybody tell me there was a magical girl game jam I could have doubled with the LD? ;)
@codexus Thanks! Yeah I only started on the level controller that does the win/lose condition and spawning of the enemies in the final minutes of the jam, so I didn't get to stop the monster from losing health after winning. If only I had another few hours!! But such is life in a jam!
Nice art work
Really cool concept! Some controls could be improved, like moving your own position - but that's a whole other topic in VR in itself and this is certainly plenty impressive for a weekend jam. :)
Wow, A VR game is super uncommon in a jam. Recently got a VR headset due to not being able to go out for Covid reasons so gave it a shot.
Oddly, it just showed me nothing the first time I ran it, but was ok when I forced closed and restarted it. Not sure if the issue was on my end. As you mentioned, there was lag at the start but was ok in maybe ~10-15 secs. Sometimes lag spikes for under a second, though it is probably more noticable coz VR.
The spells and art looked real good. Though I felt...constrainted by the lack of ability to adjust the camera/camera angle.
All in all, I think it would be a much much better game if you were given maybe a week instead. But for an LD? A bit ambitious but definately respectable.
@rubyleehs Thanks for playing! Could you please clarify what you mean by "constrainted by the lack of ability to adjust the camera/camera angle"? In roomscale VR you move the camera/camera angle by moving your body/head in physical space. Were you using a 3-DOF system to try to play a 6-DOF game? This game is not for 3-DOF systems. What VR set did you use? You can also move the world around by using the side grip and dragging the world (like in Tiltbrush).
Very impressive entry. As someone who is not very familiar with tiltbrush the controlls took a bit to get used to, but overall the game played very smooth, with an very consistent style and fitting gameplay. Glad to see a pure VR game here in the first place and hope you get the 20 ratings needed!
