Mine Rescue VR by Szymski

made by Szymski for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

Your quest is to save miners after a collapse incident in a mine. You need to find miners in the dark corridors and bring them back to the lift. Be careful! You have limited supplies of oxygen and light battery. In addition, the lower you get, the faster your oxygen depletes. The game features procedurally generated map, which also gets harder with each level.

To grab items as well as the miners, you need to place your hand close to them and grab them for a while. You can save the battery by temporarily switching the light off, you can do it with a trigger button.

You will need a SteamVR compatible headset and controllers to play.

Wow, i didnt expect to see a VR Game on here! Already a plus point for that. Sadly though, it isnt the most fun gameplay wise. You did a great job with the mood of the game though, i really felt like i was in a large mine! Come check my game out as well if you can :)

Amazed to see a vr game here. @viktor-dedek you need steam VR to run it. It would be nice if some one told me where I was going!

Wow a VR ludum dare game! Had to try this one out. Works flawlessly on the Index HMD and controllers! Procedural generation works great for this game, tho I got lost a few times, would be cool to add flares for guidance! The controller vibration when your oxygen gets low saved my life! Great job on this one everyone.

A VR game for the Ludum Dare ? OH BOY ! That's sooooo cool ! The generated levels are a really good feature and I'm impressed by the result.
Gameplay-wise, it's a good prototype, but it gets old very fast. But I really think that the concept is good and could be refined to create a whole enjoyable game that I could buy on Steam !

You got the balls to give us VR on a game jam, so take my 5 stars ! And I really hope that you will be motivated to continue developping it, to build deeper and depper (:D) gameplay mechanics (and reach the Steam store =p !)

I wish I had a VR to play this. I just wanted to commend you on creating a VR game for Ludum Dare. I was able to watch the gameplay from your video and being able to look up and down the elevator in the elevator is a awesome concept! Also being able to move rocks is pretty cool, I wish I had VR so I could try moving the rocks into the elevator and pushing them down the elevator shaft.

I'm impressed to see a VR game for a LD submission. The graphics were great and I think you could polish this for a future steam release. Good job

Wow, very nice, cool to see a VR game in the jam. It was fun exploring the mines while constantly worrying about running out of oxygen. I had some close calls - desperately pushing rocks out of the way to get to some oxygen. It would have been nice to have a bit of feedback on if a level was complete - though I suppose not knowing how many miners might be there adds to the mood.

This is a really cool project you got done in 72 hours! You understand VR emersion very well, and know how to make a fun adventure out of it! It looks good too :)

As for improvements, one thing I like that other VR titles do is the ability to grab an object from a distance. I did have to bend down a lot to pick up objects. Also, a count on the number of minors would help too.

Other than that, nice work!

Glad to play another VR game (glad we weren't the only ones). It seems fine. didn't really know what to do. Picking things up was a bit faulty.

Interesting premise with the randomly generated level. It was missing some gameplay loop things to make it more interesting like enemies, traps, or anything you would have to play around. The mechanics worked well and felt fluid, but you could go through walls.
