Description: A scavenger pirate captain has crash-landed on an alien world. Help him and his crew fix their ship before space worms attack! HALP! is a single-player VR sandbox puzzle game where you help a stranded robot captain and his crew fix their broken ship… or where you DON’T do that and instead poke around and mess with the ship’s various gizmos and contraptions. Put out fires! Fight giant carnivorous worms! Shoot some hoops! Make a general mess of things! There’s plenty to do in HALP!’s colourful and light-hearted world.
Review: HALP! is a very short interactive experience that looks pretty good I have to say. If you just get into the gameplay you can finish this game in under 5 mins, but if you treat this experience like a toy box and play around with all the things your experience will last a lot longer. This is one of those freebies that is worth a download if you just want to try some new things out with your VR headset, but people who have been using VR for years will find it far too quick. At the end of the day it is free so just give it a go!
