Description: Don’t Mess Up is a collection of VR minigames made to discover many styles, environments, and gameplay modes in a short amount of time solo or with your friends.
This game is an answer to the pain of demoing VR to people. Switching back and forth between games, explaining controls, managing timing… Don’t Mess Up features super simple local multiplier for up to four players, competing in a playlist of wacky, fast-paced action games. To keep things interesting, each game features multiple ways to mess up and lose the game, secret bonuses to win points creatively, and a dynamic camera system to keep players waiting interested.
Don’t have friends? Don’t worry! Every game is available in Solo mode, with an option to tailor the experience for live streams and let’s plays so that viewers focus on the action rather than on the tears of loneliness slowly dripping through the headset’s nose-gap.
Review: Don’t Mess Up was going to be very much like Pierhead Arcade in which it is a collection of mini-games of the kind you would find at the end of a pier. But Don’t Mess Up was going to bring much more to the table with tennis and even some window cleaning game! Its was an odd collection indeed that never saw the light of day. It didn’t look too bad and the larger collection might have made this something worth owning. But it was never finished and all that remains is a demo with 2 games in it and none of what is advertised. Do check out the demo if you wish as it is a little bit of fun, but not much more than 5 minutes worth.
