VR-only Controls

Unlike most platformers, you don’t control VRosty with the thumb stick, but with the movement of your own hand in space. The snowman stays under your hand when you hold down the A button – like a puppet. You move through the level as a VR puppeteer using the thumb stick and Smooth Locomotion, pulling VRosty along with you.

You are in this together

Part of the game’s mechanics is that you not only have to move VRosty, but also yourself through the levels. He jumps, you run. However, VRosty obeys gravity and can’t jump too high. So you need some skill to guide him safely over the platforms. This results in many challenges – and puzzles.

1st Person + 3rd Person

VRosty is a chilled dude. But he is not defenseless. You can make him throw snowballs with the trigger button and aim by tilting your hand. Together with the controls it’s a strange mixture of 1st person shooter and 3rd person platformer.

Coolectathon
