A VR GAME ABOUT BOIDS

FOR THE RIFT & VIVE

They are ALIVE! Your BOIDs have taken flight from your rooftop LAB to cause mayhem on the town below!!! 

Local cleaning businesses payout cash if you sully a potential customer. Buidings and windows pooped on are paid by the Window Washer's Consortium, cars pooped on are paid for by the Car Wash and people pooped on are lavishly rewarded by the laundromat. 

Enjoy flocking.

Control your flock of Boids and Poop on anything you can hit.

Get rewarded for your flock control and aim.

CONTROLS

Pooping can be done by the left hand trigger or by pressing any thumb-stick down like a button.

Flocks can be controlled with the white spheres projecting from your hands. The flocks will try to get close to the spheres as they fly. You can push the spheres away from you and pull them back in. You can place a sphere in one spot or have it track your pointers as you push and pull them out. The spheres can also be turned on and off which will cause the BOIDs to ignore or hunt them respectively.

Arm Controller

The flock's formation can be adjusted with three weights, Cohesion, Separation and Alignment. (Shown as sliders on the left arm control) Use the right hand Index trigger adjust each value. Each of these three weights has two sliders, one for distance and one for strength, The distance slider  will tell how far away a BOID can be before feeling the force of this weight. The strength slider will increase or decrease the force amount per weight. I mean its simple flocking boids!
