The fruits are in it but they aren't the whole game (that's for 5 A Day). There are different things for each level and I just happened to have been in a fruit sprite defining mood prior to that demo :).

It looks adorable, pretty things to shoot, and i suspect highly addictive too.

It's ... nearly non explainable how it feels/look in VR .. it's really "like nothing else".

It's strange .. it REALLY feels like "I am INSIDE an Arcade Machine" 8O 8O 8O

Actually it's difficult to play in the sense it's quite a "sensory overload of beauty" you get lost in "ooh look that's all so pretty" and the next thing you know something killed you :lol:

Playing it in VR is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than playing it out of VR even if the game is exactly the same, the "emotional difference" is BIG.

It's strange because at first look you could think "oh hum maybe looks boring/just 'flat' in VR, after all is nearly a 2D game" .. and it's ALL THE OPPOSITE .. the moment you step in VR .. will be the first time in your life you'll really be SCARED of some FRUITS coming at you :lol: :lol:

It's really "odd" from one side this game may look "simple" .. there are no fancy textures .. no "super realistic rendering" or such .. and yet .. MAYBE because it's precisely like that .. "feels so incredible" in VR 8O

I can definitely see that by the time it will be all complete that's going to be "another of those things you never seen before" :)

The game's getting some interest over on /r/PSVR, do drop by and encourage them if you get chance...

So, as Jeff said on Twitter, what game would you pair GR with? I'll say either 5-a-day or ..... Caverns of Minos.
