Description: Treasure Bolt is a puzzle time trial game designed to test your mental and physical capabilities in Virtual Reality. Featuring full locomotion driven movement and puzzle strategy. This means you can run, crawl, reach, hit and grab in Virtual Reality without teleportation. The game is multi-themed, giving two different game experiences in one. Test yourself with either a hack and slash sci-fi shooter or a heist bat-wielding stealth runner.
The game was originally designed as a tool to showcase the HTC VIVE Trackers, winning 2nd place in the 2017 Global VR Hackathon in Shanghai. This game is perfect for demonstrations to show the capabilities of the HTC Vive trackers, with the capability to use two Vive Trackers plus controllers. This game is perfect for anybody who wants to experience the capabilities of the HTC Vive trackers, full-body locomotion movement, or an intense puzzle time-trial. Built to support demonstrations and events.
Review: I have to say ‘Treasure Bolt’ is better than I thought it was going to be. After all, you never expect a lot when you are only paying £1.69 and while there are only two levels the potential for the game to be bigger and better is most certainly there. You play the part of a jewellery thief and you need to avoid lasers and other traps in order to get to the exit in each level. While you can teleport your way around the game it feels much better when played on a larger room-scale playspace. It doesn’t look like much and there isn’t much to it at all, but for 30 mins, you will have fun playing this and wishing there was a lot more to it.
