Description: Toy Plane Heroes is a unique multiplayer dogfighting game in which you are controlling a toy plane. The game is made for VR and you are going to experience an incredible feeling of scale, because you are a tiny toy figure. We currently support the Oculus CV1, DK2 and the HTC Vive. We are also planning to make TPH compatible with the most common HMD’s.
Review: With some fun, easy controls and a great Toy Story style of graphics this is a game that aims to play on your own childish imagination. Many times in my childhood I wondered what it would feel like to be inside a toy plane, shooting and dog fighting with the best of them. Now I have that chance with Toy Plane Heroes. You soon get used to the controls, but one thing you might not get used to is the motion sickness inside of the game. Doing a loop in your plane might sound like fun, but it will soon leave you feeling quite queasy (as I would imagine it would do in real life).
This is not one of those games to showcase VR to friends and family. It is a game for hardcore VR players to have fun with and having fun is exactly what this game is all about. With cute, cartoon graphics and easy pickup and play gameplay its perfect to play for a few minutes every day. Much longer than that will make even the hardest of VR players feeling a little ill.
