VR Fractals Reviews

Neat! I especially liked the cathedral-esque dice one. Note: you could probably figure out how to make it a standing experience for the vive users. Maybe trigger while pointing in the desired direction.

This item shows up in the steam vr section as a "free demo". However, I couldn't find a way to get it for free. It cost around 1,5 euros. When launching, I couldn't make it reset my view point, so the menu and the focus point in the app is actually behind me facing away from my pc. I had to turn 180 degrees away from my pc to watch it. The quality of the graphics aren't that good to be honest. There is no sound (which isn't that big of a deal since I can always just play my own). I was hoping for a relaxing experience, but instead I got a backtwisting, blocky un-inspiring fractal with no sound that didn't make use of the vive controllers. I would imagine that with a little bit more work from the dev this could be somewhat nice to watch a late evening before bed while laying on the couch listening to some classical music.

awful kb+gamepad input, no touch controller support only few fractals to choose from the EMERGENCE fractal app is much better

not recommended , low res graphics , no motion tracker control , very limited content good idea but low performance , maybe i expected way to much should have tried the demo first , my mistake

Much potential here. However, my graphic setting seems to be stuck on "fastest" and it's very noticeable low quality even though I have a superclocked TITAN X. I have a Rift CV1 and a monitor that is 3440x1440 which the startup config window is also locked on. I dont know if that combo is a problem. Also, the fractals seem very dim. The brightness needs to be cranked to the point that I must be doing something wrong? The colored balls fractal is the only one one that seems to have acceptable lighting. The black graphics that are used look like black goo or loading problems until i zoom in very close to the fractals. Then I understand what it is. If it was brighter and higher quality graphics (very blocky low res), I might understand better. The main menu looks... wrong. It's beyond the purple fractal, distant, flat and wide and scaled wierd / not easy to reach. There are left and right arrows that seem to be useless (like on a web hero slider). I'm guessing because there are only 8 fractals and these arrows would load more but there is no indication that they shouldnt work, like being greyed out or removed when not needed. Some of these problems may be my setup or something. It feels like early access. I'm confident i'm not seeing this as intended and will figure out how to communicate to support ASAP or hope the dev will respond here and let me know if this is the correct current state of the graphics or where to communicate to fix.

This was £1.59 in the UK when I bought this and after 20 minutes floating around and inside the include fractals, I like it. I used to marvel at fractals on my old Amiga so to see them up close in real timeis entertaining. It's nice not having to wait over night to find a black screen render. The Amiga was great but my watch is 1000 times more powerful today! I think I'd like finer controls as sometimes the fractals just expand so quick they engulf you. This triggers my reflex to hold my breath, but I haven't been submerged in a fractal long enough to pass out yet. I haven't tried the code editor yet but I am sure I will find a use for it on youtube when I look. I also hope the developer doesn't abandon the app now it's released.
