Quanch VR
Quanch!
The greatest sport since the ban on Group B carpet racing! PPE optional!
.
Demo trailer:
.
Controls:
Hold broom with your non-dominant hand - point the broom the direction you wish to fly
Accelerate with the left hand joystick - you move fastest going forward, but have limited strafe + reverse as well
Boost with the left hand trigger - boost recharges over time
Boomer can be grabbed from behind your back - fire with the trigger when holding
Waffle is simply held and thrown
.
Rules:
Capture the Waffle and try to put it through your opponent's hoops. The smaller hoops are worth more points; 10, 20, and 30 points.
Fire your Boomer at opponents to stun them, just be aware they will return the favor.
*More pending... (cue mysterious music)
.
Currently tested and supported systems:
Oculus Quest 1 via Oculus Link and Oculus Air Link - PC specs: Ryzen 3600 + Nvidia RTX 3060
Oculus Quest 2 via Oculus Link and Oculus Air Link - PC specs: Ryzen 3600 + Nvidia RTX 3060
[More will be added as confirmed by other users]
[Using Unity XR Framework; Oculus Rift likely compatible, Vive potentially compatible, but may need added support]
.
Planned in near future:
Standalone Oculus Quest
Standalone Oculus Quest 2
[Addl. lower-spec computers]
.
Note on vertigo: this game is not recommended for VR beginners - while there is deliberately nothing that can jostle your view or take camera control away from you, you *are* still in VR and flying around at heights, just as you would in a real-life game of Quanch. Take it easy flying near the ground for a while to get your VR legs if the heights aren't working for you.
