Munch is an adorable game where you play as cute little fish in the sea. However, unlike all the other fish, our little Munch is a very hungry little fellow. Munch needs to eat other fish in order to grow up in size, but also avoid being eaten by bigger fish. You need to gradually climb up the food chain while devouring everything in sight—eat or be eaten!

Munch was developed as a room-scale VR game for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift according to the press release, and designed to be played with its tracked motion controllers.

The game is inspired by games like Feeding Frenzy. It features 12 unique levels and simple game mechanics that everyone can feel comfortable with. It seems that the developer, Mostly Harmless Games, certainly put a goal to develop a game that is both simple, accessible and comfortable for everyone to enjoy.

Munch VR features beautiful vivid cartoon-ish visuals. Munch looks so cute and adorable, looks like a perfect candidate for Hollywood's next animation blockbuster film. He is especially cute when he opens his big mouth to eat other fish. It's really important for these type of games to have a lovable character that you can emotionally connect with and the look of munch and the animation will make adore our little brave fellow.

Munch VR was designed to be played with a single Vive controller. You use the controller to help Munch swim in different directions. There is red arrow that shows you the direction where there are fish in case you are staring at an area where there are no fish. When Munch gets close to a fish, he opens his big mouth to swallow the other fish and making a very cute chewing voice while doing so.

It's a fast-paced game and there are a lot of fish in the sea, and our little friend needs to eat a lot to grow in site. As you eat you'll get bigger and stronger and you can eat fish that you previously couldn't due to your smaller size.

It's a VR game for all ages, but it's in my opinion, a perfect game for the little ones, just because it features very simple gameplay mechanics, it's challenging, it has lovely cartoonish visuals, the main character is just adorable and it's very amusing to play. It sometimes happens that a game comes out, one that doesn't make too much bells and whistles but it certainly brings a fun and unique gameplay experience that makes it stand out from the rest. I think that Munch is certainly one of those games—a precious gem that certainly deserves an attention. I am certainly looking forward to the full release in 2017.

If you have the HTC Vive, you can head to Steam and download the free demo version and try it out. Keep in mind that Munch requires a play area of at least 2m x 1.5m, but I assume that if you have the HTC Vive, you've already made up some room for room-scale games.

The full version of Munch is coming out on 2017.
