Last weekend I took part in a Oculus Rift Game Jam in Dusiburg. The goal of the jam was to get to know the Oculus Rift system better and build a game for it.

We meet friday evening in a room at the second floor of the university which was almost very dark inside (because the time of the year) . First I didn’t know exactly where to go so it was kind of funny to wander around.

We were six people in total so the team was already found. After trying out some OR Demos we quickly developed a concept for our game: It should be a musical exploration adventure with candys and other weird stuff.

At the end of the first day there was also a party ongoing in a building near us. So some of us took that opportunity to get some extra fun before we needed to rest some hours.

We could finnish most content for the game very quickly. So in the end it got bigger than it was planned: There are three normal levels and one very difficult bonus level (Uber level). The goal for the player is to find all the objects in a level which are able to make music. After he activated all of them, the whole song will play and the exit door will open.

You can also play it without Oculus Rift (on windows), but you woun’t get the full experience. Keep that in mind ;-)

Give it a try: Download

And don’t forget to take a look at the readme file ;-)
