HOOP-O Studios, a budding indie developer known for crafting mixed reality experiences, has exciting news—their new game, Alex and the Jets, is set to make its debut on the Quest 3 platform next month.
Imagine stepping into an arcade-style adventure where you pilot Alex the Squirrel in a diminutive, propeller-driven plane. This whimsical game invites you to engage in airborne battles against ‘The Jets’ gang. These nefarious foes burst through portals in your surroundings, challenging you to shoot them down while navigating through donut-shaped goals that are scattered with power-ups and health bonuses.
For those who enjoy a more leisurely pace, Alex and the Jets offers a free roam mode. Here, you can fly your plane around at your own speed, blissfully free from combat stress. Plus, there’s a local leaderboard to keep track of your high scores and an in-game store filled with fun cosmetics so you can style your Alex just the way you like.
Interestingly, HOOP-O Studios has shared that all the game footage featured in the trailer was captured directly from the device using the headset’s camera. This tidbit certainly boosts confidence in the game’s quality and immersive potential.
While we’re eagerly awaiting an exact release date, HOOP-O Studios has hinted that they’re aiming for an April launch via the Horizon Store, with full compatibility for Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Keep an eye out for this delightful mix of action and creativity!
