Description: CRANGA!: Harbor Frenzy is a casual VR puzzle game that brings block-pushing into a whole new level. Use the touchpad or the Gear VR controller to push or pull various shipping containers from a teetering tower. In order to remove all the containers, you should keep readjusting them and prevent the tower from falling. With different container types, items, and game modes, this seemingly simple task will turn out to be a great challenge. Jump into the whimsical harbor where your dexterity and puzzle-solving skill will be tested. One wrong move will bring about epic destruction…
Review: I have to admit I thought CRANGA!: Harbor Frenzy on the Oculus Rift was an OK game, nothing special, but not too bad. On the Gear VR it is a stand-out title that looks incredible. (in terms of 3D depth anyway) Played using the Gear VR controller it is basically Jenga but with shipping containers. While it might look a little basic the 3D depth makes the game look fantastic, it’s so good in fact that you won’t mind losing a game because you will get to see the shipping containers fly all over the place when they explode. With several missions to play and the promise of an online multiplayer coming soon this game has been converted to the Gear VR with perfection. While the lack of multiplayer right now might put some people off it, it’s still a great single player experience that is well worth adding to your Gear VR collection.
