WARNING: This is a highly addictive VR game and must be played with at least one other person who joins the game on a mobile device. The required mobile game for iOS and Android is free.
The game features an asymmetric multiplayer experience where one player dons a VR headset to become a protective tree, while up to 8 others join as mischievous squirrels on their mobile devices. As the VR tree player, you'll use your hands to grab and throw various projectiles, such as wood chunks, boulders, and sticky sap, at the approaching squirrels. Your objective is to knock the squirrels off the map or prevent them from stealing the golden acorns.
The mobile squirrel players, on the other hand, have a variety of special abilities they can use to outmaneuver you and steal the acorns. These include speed boosts, tunneling underground, building ramps for vertical movement, and shielding themselves. The squirrels must work together strategically to distract you and safely return the stolen acorns to their base.
Reviews praise the dynamic and competitive nature of the gameplay, especially as players become more skilled. While you may initially have the upper hand as the tree, veteran squirrel players can learn to effectively coordinate their abilities to overwhelm you. The balance of power can shift quickly, leading to intense, back-and-forth matches.
The game features a variety of natural environments, from nighttime glades to sunlit streams, each with unique terrain and obstacles that can favor the tree or the squirrels. This adds an element of variety and strategic depth, as players must adapt their tactics to the specific map.
Both the VR and mobile controls are praised for being intuitive and easy to pick up, allowing players of all skill levels to enjoy the game. The mobile app, in particular, is commended for its smooth and responsive touch-based controls, making it accessible for a wide range of players.
Reviewers highlight the joy of playing with a group of friends, either locally or remotely, and the game's ability to engage both VR players and non-VR participants. The fast-paced, competitive nature of the gameplay lends itself well to a party setting, with players cheering and strategizing together.
