Snowmania Reviews

HTC VIVE - Large play area needed too complete game. Very basic game play, basic graphics, more suitable for children! My advice, save your money. You can find better games for Free.

I actually find this game very relaxing, the scenery of the stary night sky surrounded by buildings and snow is nice. I also love the easter egg of where you go into an ice blockhouse and find a note saying to stay away from the evil snowman and how the people before you came weren't gonna make it. I haven't completed all the minigames in under 10 minutes to unlock the secret hidden in the rocket ship after you unlock all the keys but I will for sure do it. I got this game on sale and gotta say 5/5

The longbow arcade is ok, could be longer though, but roller coaster makes me nauseous, bullseye is impossible, game is really short...

I was curious about this game so I picked up on sale for under $2. Yup, that's about what is worth. : ) If I had to do it again, I would buy myself a pizza. This a collection of mini games which are holiday themed but are very rudimentary in nature. I don't see myself playing this on the consistent basis if at all. The bow & arrow game is really fun because it's fluid but the rest of the mini games are dull. When you do well, you get rewarded a key which unlocks a lock attached to a rocket ship. ( No you don't get to ride it & explore the universe.) The ninja star throwing game is broken as far as throwing mechanics go. I can barely hit the targets because the throwing mechanism is really bad. I'm using the HP Reverb G2 which has 4 cameras for improved tracking and it's a lost cause. I somehow managed to get passed it by leaning forward as much as possible and tossing the ninja star just to acquire enough points to get the key. I don't like leaving negative feedback but I'm not going to mislead you. I'm leaving a positive feedback because the bow & arrow game was pretty fun but the rest is mehh.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] Looks like I'm the first reviewer to actually buy this game and give a non-biased review. I really don't like Streamers who beg for free keys on Steam. But I digress, I recommend this game on sale. I think the current sale price of $1.39 is more appropriate than the normal price of $6.99 which is too pricey for what you're getting IMO. You teleport around the area and select 1 of 5 games. The graphics/ 3D is kind of weird, the buildings looked curved, warped. Some of the mini-games are more fun than others. The most fun is the bow & arrow mini-game. Amazingly, the bow mechanic feels good. That really surprised me. I was expecting it to be bad. There's only 3 waves, but it's fun to complete the game. Maybe it takes 3-4 minutes to finish. There's even a little depth to the game. The rollercoaster was just okay. I think it's perfect for anyone who gets motion sickness in VR or kids because it's a very gentle and easy-going ride. Don't expect thrills or chills in this ride. The shuriken throwing game wasn't really that fun. It's just throwing a shuriken at a 3 targets of increasing distance. You're supposed to score a certain score and the game ends. Pretty bland, not fun. Save the kitty. You need full roomscale for this mini-game. It's really just a walk the plank mini-game. It's not bad. It's supposed to give you a fear of heights. But that doesnt' really happen for me in VR. Again, think kids would love this more than an adult. Another mini-game is just dressing up a snowman. There's supposedly a way to win this game, but I didn't get a key afterwards so I'm confused on how to finish it. Still, you just dress up the snowman. I actually had fun doing it. I just wish there were more props / costumes. Find the ghost. I could not get this mini-game to work. I am unsure if this is related to Oculus compatibility or not. I saw the video, I know what you're supposed to do. I left a note for the dev on this mini-game. I'm not color-blind. Normal Price Rating 5/10. Sale Price Rating 6/10. Overall 5.5/10.
