QBEH-1 - Now with full support for Oculus Rift
QBEH-1 seems to work really well together with Oculus Rift.
Some could argue that there hasn't been that many changes to the puzzle genre over the last 10 years or so. Well, the same thing could be said about the FPS genre as well. Sure, better graphics, sound effects and bigger worlds to play in (and so on). But the concept has remained the same.
I´m talking about big revolutionary steps. Like in the case with Unreal 1 for example. But it seems like Liquid Flower (the developers of QBEH-1) might hit two birds with one stone. Because their first-person puzzle game "QBEH-1" now offers full support for Oculus Rift.
So that might give a uniq and "revolutionary" touch and feel to QBEH-1 (and the FPS/puzzle genre at large). And guess what? There just happens to be a 45% doscount on the game via Steam (QBEH-1 are all yours to enjoy for 4,94 Euro) due the Oculus Rift announcement.
Hurry up though. Becouse that offer ends on the 11th of August.
Press release:
"AUGUST 4, 2014 – Digital Tribe and Liquid Flower announce that the critically acclaimed QBEH-1: The Atlas Cube has entered an all new dimension of fun. Oculus Rift support is now live on Steam!
QBEH-1: The Atlas Cube is an atmospheric 1st-person puzzle platformer developed by Liquid Flower that takes players on an inspired quest through a variety of divergent worlds,
each filled with new mysteries and secrets to uncover. In each world, players find special cubes that must be collected and used to navigate to the next portal.
The VR gaming community can finally see for themselves why virtual reality focused journalists are giving QBEH-1: The Atlas Cube high praise.
“Zen-like one moment, vertigo-inducing the next, this is a polished and immersive FPS platformer for the Oculus Rift that's greatly improved by its use of virtual reality.”
- The Rift Arcade | 8/10
“…this is quite freaking amazing. It really adds a whole level of immersion here.” “It is definitely one of those games I will be going back to play.”
- Oculus Rifter
“Qbeh-1 take’s everything that made Portal’s puzzles great and mix’s it with elements of MineCraft and even Tetris and blends them all together to create something unique yet familiar. Its Rift implementation is the best we have seen yet from a previously released 2D game so much so that it’s hard to imagine that it was not originally designed with VR in mind. Qbeh-1 is well worth your time and money as it’s a modern classic and a must play experience.”
