Description: Plunker is a short, and heavily comedy based indie VR game based on exploring for easter eggs and extremely goofy interactions with the world around you. The player investigates suspicious scenes, trying to find anything out of order. You can expect to be strung along by jokes, replayable VR minigames/puzzles with unique mechanics, and a surreal, sometimes nonsensical story. Plunker was made by one person while streaming live on Twitch.tv and also working a full 40+ hours a week for a good portion of the last three years. All of the art, all of the code, all of the ideas, all of the testing. At the end of it you’ve got 45~90 minutes of playtime.
Review: Plunker is a very odd collection of micro-experiences some of which are games, others are just to mess around with. From its crazy charters to its weird mini-games, this game is utterly bonkers and it is sure to make you smile at some point. I also like the off cartoon graphics as they only add to the craziness of the game overall. Sure, it is lacking in content and most people will have zero trouble finishing this in less than 30 mins. Sadly this also makes the £7.19 price tag seem a little too high (which it is). But if you like crazy indie things like Adventure Time you should find yourself enjoying this.
