I typically jump into jam games without reading the controls, to judge how intuitive the games are.  I must have skipped past the tutorial the first time I played, because I was lost.  However, I went and read the controls, then went back and tried again and got the tutorial the second time.  Not sure if that was me skipping or a bug, but I thought I'd let you know.\n\nThe game is well done.  Once I figured out the best way for me to play was to sit in a corner and grab the cubes from there, I did pretty well.  36 mb in my best run.  A few comments:\n\n- The music is catchy and I'll probably be hearing that song in my head all day.\n- The visuals are simple, but effective and well done.  I liked the use of light.\n- The physics are really wonky.  Every run ended because of a physics glitch.\n- Having the barrier at about eye level was disorienting and made the game impossible for me to play standing up.\n\nVery cool to see a VR game in this Jam and having it be a high quality one makes it even better.  Great job!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"saoi-games","author_uid":"1079667","time":"2018-08-14T06:06:38Z","epoch":1534226798,"modified":1534226798,"text":"Thank you for sharing this game.
