Here is our submission to the Oculus Game Jam by Red Ladder Games. "The Virtual Reality of Charlie Shoe" is a 3rd person action adventure game, where the main player has awoken in their bedroom as a ball. The gameplay is a mix of Zelda style dungeoning with Marble Blast style controls and Mario Platforming. The demo consists of one dungeon and boss. We are planning to turn this demo along with other assets we have created into a full fledged indie game for the oculus and S3D platforms. Please have a play and enjoy!
Setup:
For best performance run in Fantastic mode in 1920x1080 but any mode should work.
Gameplay:
The game starts in Charlies room and a portal through the ceiling above his bed quickly takes him to a place he has never imagined.
He rolls along an eerie path towards an ominous fun house and must find his way inside.
Upon reaching the correct entrance he is teleported inside of a dungeon where he must puzzle and maneuver his way through.
The demo ends after the player has collected all of the normal keys and finally the boss key which leads him to face the final boss.
The boss has three phases and each phase is completed once a key has been knocked off his back.
After the final key is knocked loose the boss stops attacking and is the end of the demo.
