Bounce: A VR Physics-Based Puzzle Adventure
The game, from Steel Wool Studios, should be arriving in the near future
Steel Wool Studios is an independent VR development studio formed by veterans of Pixar Animation Studios, Lucasfilm and Telltale Games. In Bounce, they’ve combined the powerful narrative elements of feature animation films with the intricate gameplay mechanics of VR to create the ultimate puzzle adventure.
In the game, players will help a robot called D1G-B make its way through 50 rooms using an array of gadgets such as accelerators, trampolines and tractor beams. As things progress, the action will become more frenzied by adding moving blockers, laser gates, gravity wells, and multi-floor rooms.
Jason Topolski, co-founder, Steel Wool Studios: Bounce started off as an early experiment to see how far we could push the limits of VR to challenge players. By introducing a narrative element, which is core to our game philosophy, we think we’ve added a cool new dimension to the physics game genre that will keep the players excited about what happens next.
According to the developer, Bounce for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift will be arriving soon.
