Richie's Plank Experience

That's it?
I was really excited for this game and made my own plank but after trying I felt a little disappointed. I like the concept but it really is just a plank you walk 100 or so stories in the air, that's it! I was hoping there'd be more of a challenge to it like birds or hang gliders or even missiles flying at you or something that would make you have to move from one end to another. As it is now, I walked the plank, waited on the end for about 10 minutes and nothing happened. Hope the developer has more planned for this as like I said it's a great concept but needs to be expanded. Also I didn't much care for the other modes. I think the work put into this game should be focused on the plank experience and ways to make that fun and challenging.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to disappoint you. Did you try picking up the cake and donuts?

Many people think the plank is challenging, it took me a while to do it! We decide to divide our attention to the other levels as well as the plank. We felt like it was important to have variety.

We do plan to add more features in the plank experience. We have had some great ideas from users. We will be keeping a close eye on suggestions! So if you think of more ideas, please keep them coming!

From the desktop menu (Press 'M') you can have cake or donuts fall onto the plank. It's available on the desktop for others to control what drops. We will have this available in the VR menu in a future update.

A good 8£ well spent. With the money you have given them they will be able to add twice as much content.

I just published a small updated to the experience. Fixed some subliminal sounds on the plank and you can now add cake from the settings menu within VR. IMO, cake isn't impressive, but please know that future updates will be giving you more to do on the plank.

i too was disappointed until i tried the part where you put out fires and fly around the city like a superhero. that was one of the most thrilling vr experiences I've ever had. the first time i allowed myself to plummet to the ground I was laughing and yelling with glee and then the last 50 ft. it turned into reality and I made those horrible I'm about to die noises. Brilliant. I'm very much looking forward to the updates on this one.

I wish you recorded it! I love watching people's reactions.

its so crazy to me that it really gives me a huge adrenaline rush to fall to my death in vr. EVERY TIME!! just did it. and i tried a new thing... flying headfirst into the helicopter blades. WOW! what a rush. you might turn me into an adrenaline junkie

Is there a way to control what is in your hands? During the firefighting or the skywriting it would be nice to be able to explore the use of the jets more. At one point i was able to have both hands be engines and it seemed to speed up the flying pretty heftily. I would love a throttle control or at least a controller layout on how to get those back out, They dissappeared shortly after getting them only to have both hands switch to hoses mid-flight Doh! Fell to my Doom. Loving the game just having trouble with controls. The Flying is kickass, Plank is pretty damn scary too!

Edit: Just found that you can grab them off your back. Awesome
