HOOP-O Studios, a fresh face in the indie gaming arena, is shaking things up with its innovative mixed reality games. Their latest venture? Alex and the Jets, a thrilling remote-controlled dogfighting game that’s set to hit the Quest 3 platform next month.
In this engaging arcade-style flying adventure, players take to the skies as Alex the Squirrel, piloting a nimble little fixed-wing propeller plane. You’ll face off against aerial foes from ‘The Jets’ gang, who burst through portals in your walls. Your mission? Shoot them down as you soar through donut-shaped goals, each offering enticing weapon power-ups and health boosts to keep you in the game.
But it’s not all about intense combat. Alex and the Jets also offers a free roam mode, perfect for a stress-free flight around your room. Challenge yourself and your friends with local leaderboards that track your performance, and hit up the in-game store to unlock a variety of cosmetic options to give Alex a fresh look.
HOOP-O builds confidence in their audience by showcasing gameplay footage in their trailer that was captured directly on the device using the headset’s camera. This gives a real taste of the immersive experience awaiting players.
While a precise release date hasn’t been pinned down, the studio is eyeing an April launch on the Horizon Store. The game will be compatible with both the Quest 3 and Quest 3S, promising a new wave of excitement for VR gamers.
