Description: Have you ever seen a crane operator and thought that you would have done the same, seeing the world from a bird’s eye view and touching the clouds? Now you’ve got such an opportunity! Play as a real crane operator and put the container in the appropriate place. In each round, you will have to put one container in the indicated place. You don’t have much time! The higher level you achieve, the faster time goes and the less time you have to move the containers.
To make a bigger impression on you, we’ve decided to move our game to virtual reality. You will have an opportunity not only to experience what the crane operator normally does but also to look at the world from the perspective of the 72-metres machine. If you have a fear of heights, be careful – you can feel a little bit dizzy. Use Vive controllers to control a crane and an elevator that will take you to the top of the vehicle. Be precise and try to not fall – in virtual reality losing can be very painful!
Review: VR Crane Master is a pretty simple looking crane simulator game. Yes, you really do get control of a 72-metre tall crane and while the graphics are basic, this game is more fun than I would ever be willing to admit. It might be a simulator but even I found it easy to get used to and I was moving about my containers in just a few moments. OK, to some people this will be a very boring game, but to me, it was a dream come true. Maybe £3.99 is a little too much for such a simple game, but it is something that feels great to play in VR because you get that perception of depth. All I can give you is my opinion and I loved it!
