Description: Timber Jump is a VR game mimicking a true adventure experience that will make you face and conquer your height fears, and allow you to feel the experience of jumping between timbers above mountains.
Review: ‘Timber Jump VR’ is very much like ‘Richie’s Plank Experience’ in which you will be walking across a set of timbers you can set up in real life for even better immersion. If you do this the right way this is one of the scariest VR experiences you will endure. It looks good and has a nice cable car effect to the top of the plank walk making it feel even higher than it already looks. Sadly most of us are not going to have a set of planks we can tread in our play spaces, so this app will fall way short of being worth a download. I can see this being worth the money in the right setting, but the average VR user is not going to utilise that at all, so for that reason, I won’t be recommending this unless it becomes free or mere pennies in terms of fee.
