The perfect little VR game from a cheap bundle. I don't think it is worth the full price on Steam (5 EUR). But for a bundle. Absolutely, go for it.

You are controlling a little plane with one of the Steam controllers. You can move more less only to left, right, up and down where you have to collect coins and get more fuel. Very simple. The whole screen moves forward, so take care if you have problems with nausea. With enough coins, you level up and you can get some new little planes. Easy but motivating. Graphics are decent and perfectly fine for VR (huge plain coloured blocks, not too many details).

I had fun for the short test and I think I will come back to it again.

RECOMMENDED in a bundle or on sale for half the price.

I first heard of this game in relation to a competition to gain early access to Dimension Hunter - another game by Pocket Money - the stylized "graphic novel" looking shooter game -

I saw the rules of this competition - to post your furthest distance traveled in Endless Mode - seemed doable - so I got the game for a little over $5 -

What I didn't know was that in order to unlock Endless Mode, you have to kill 50 enemies in Blitz mode.
To unlock Blitz mode, you have to have gold medals on all 40 levels - yes, 40 levels spread across 10 worlds.

Worlds include:

Farm
Sea
Cave
City
Under Water
Volcano
Giant (toy room)
Space

sure i'm forgetting some -


In Wacky Wings, you control a little flying vehicle or creature as you navigate your way through linear courses set with different themes (see world list above) - you use an xbox controller or motion controller to move the avatar around, collecting coins and fuel.

Interesting things about the game -
excellent handling - motion controls work very well with wonderful haptics, you can 'feel' when your fuel runs out - more than a rumbling, more like a torque/twisting inside the controller.

You can swap between thrird person and first person view during gameplay - first person is very very immersive - I did not get sick one bit, others may be more sensitive, not a problem for me.

Lots of different "wings" to choose from, including:
delorean from back to the future
W-wing (like an x-wing from star wars)
Tardis from doctor who
person on a broomstick
dragon
propellor plane
helicopter
submarine


Mechanics of the game -
FUEL: you fly down the course, and you need fuel - if your fuel runs low, you begin to sink to the grown and will eventually crash, fuel appears as a pickup scattered along the course. Pick them up and you are fine.

COINS: You collect coins for medals - to unlock higher modes and new wings --- and you collect coins for increased handling/manuverability - cool concept, makes you want to go out there and get those coins so that you can pull off some tight turns.

Overall -- strongly recommended, a very fun game with lots of replay value. pretty immersive, soothing gameplay - can play forever.

Oh - and I livestreamed my gameplay from pickup to putdown ( in two chunks) - first session was almost 4 hours of me standing, playing the game (you don't have to stand, I like to stand). Second session, I hit endless mode and made it to lvl 11.

The game is very inexpensive, but I think is worth at least 3 times the price. Fun! More fun than other games of the same variety, fun for the whole family.

Gets your pulse pounding when you are going for a long stretch in endless mode.

Here is me unlocking everything and drilling down to lvl 11 in endless mode

First impressions: Lots of fun so far, plays great with touch or Xbox controller. Looks really cool, awesome cartoony visual style. Looking forward to unlocking more vehicles!

Upon first glance this game looks like generic garbage. I was looking for a sitting game that uses a Xbox controller to test my Walmart VR_TEK headset. For some reason the menu always faces south so I have to turn away from my screen. The menu options are barebones and looks like a cell phone game.

Upon first playing the game seemed to be going really fast, but you get used to it. I found it to actually be pretty fun and I enjoy it. It is comparable to a a simple yet addictive Atari game but in VR.

Great arcade VR title that is casual to play yet offers that slight challenge that makes it addictive and fun.

Fly your wings through each level dodging the obstacles in your path while also collecting fuel to stop yourself from crashing down. Simultaneously try to collect the coins to earn yourself higher grade medals which unlock different novelty wings and skins (Dragons, Brooms, Drones, UFOs etc.). The levels are randomly generated which offers the challenge by putting your reflexes to the test and each world provides new environments, obstacles, soundtracks, and day and night cycles. (Worlds: Country, Snow, Sea, Desert, Cavern, City, Volcano, Toy, Space). There is also the option to fly in 1st or 3rd person mode which can be activated via controller during gameplay.

After the campaign there is the added bonus of blitz mode which is practically a new game itself. Set in WW2 in a vintage black and white atmosphere you must use new controls to shoot down enemy planes to gain fuel for as long as you can.

You're rewarded once again after blitz mode with the added bonus of endless mode (I love this one). This mode features all the campaign world levels in an infinite cycle but as you progress dodging obstacles the speed increases infinitely also, making it become hectic really quick. The tempo of the soundtrack also increases with the speed which adds to the fun!

Overall great value with lots of detail and rewards for gameplay!

So first of this is a great value. It is a fun "feel the sense of flying and things zooming past your head" kinda game and it is a solid game. The levels have a nice design and good artwork nice audio and music too. I enjoyed the sense of speed and the challenge was there.

There are some levels I liked better than others. Some levels it's impossible not to earn platinum and live and others it is the opposite. Some you will blast through and others will proceedurally kill you with impossible situations. The city I found was the worst. Others were super amazing like volcano and caves. Pro tip: get the FUEL!

Unlocking all the extras took longer than I thought. For example getting the Blitz mode required me to beat the regular mode. Blitz mode I didn't find that fun. Endless Mode was pretty fun as it is a bit more forgiving than regular but the speed gets much much faster!

So far I'm 2.7 hours in and thats a lot compared to many titles. I think I've unlocked everything. Will I play again? I do like aviation so I will try the endless mode a couple times and perhaps use it as a demo for new to VR friends.

Where are some fun this game was for the price. Where is very simple mechanic text Justice work!!!. I like to see more games use this formula and expand on it. So if you like endless Runners here you are.

󠀡

Bought this game as a part of a bundle and my word is it great. Imagine flying around, atop of a toy air racer, down different colorful environments and feeling the sense of exhilaration when you make the perfect turn to avoid smashing into the side of mountain.

The game features both 3rd person and 1st person mode that you can switch on the fly, in game. 1 person is my favorite and makes turns easier to measure. I still crash a lot but you begin to get a better sense of the simple but precise flying controls using the vive wand. As you progress, you unlock other flying machines, including helicopters, drones, dragons, a harry potter style broom stick, back to the future style cars, etc.

If this game had multiplayer, I'd buy 4 copies in a second. It'd become the VR equivalent of Mario Kart.

Highly recommended, don't let the simple, colorful graphic style fool you, this game can be challenging and really deserves more attention.

Another top VR title from the awesome team at Pocket Money games. Wacky Wings delivers great fun stylised visuals with top gameplay and unbelievable value for the price.
