Had to borrow my brother's Galaxy Note 4 for this despite having actually having a Cardboard headset on me (I own an iPhone) but we both found this pretty fun to play. Thankfully the game speed was quite fun and not too overwhelming whilst learning the mechanics. Our only gripe however was that the field of view could be a bit bigger so we couldn't see some of the red cubes that were blocked by our yellow ones plus the audio was apparently pretty quiet.

Looks great, and a unique idea. It's really hard without a cardboard though :)

@Xanjos
Wow... Glad to hear you enjoyed it! We initially planned to put in transparency while hovering/clicking on the cubes, and music as well, but development was not as smooth as expected, and we had to make sacrifices... will try to incorporate your valuable feedback in a future version.. thanks!

Nice game.Though i understood how it work i could make the boxes move while i had the cardboard on so i could not progress.But it was really immersive.Though you will need to fix how to move the boxes :)

So I bought the Google Cardboard and this game rocks even more. There is not much you can do as far as games go because you can only press one button so you guys maximized the Google Cardboard potential!!! The music was an awesome touch as well. The only thing that I wish could be different is the speed as you go up in points. Like maybe make it go faster every 10 points. Either way you guys did a fantastic job. This will be a game that I keep on my phone and show my friends when ever I'm showing off the Google Cardboard and it's potential

@fin_nolimit: we have the level progression mechanics in place, and were planning to have even multiple player cubes, instead of just 2, but things did not pan out, and our priority shifted to getting a complete game loop... will try to implement it in our next build :)

Very cool, but it felt clunky when the blocks completely blocked my view of the next puzzle. Overall, great work!

Great idea... As a programmer and someone who develops stuff for Cardboard and Gear VR I know how hard it is to keep a good refresh rate. The game runs fast and its also very fun to play. +1!

@conno1234: please check out out 'PostJam' version... we now activate transparency when clicking on the cubes.

Really cool concept! Took some getting used to it but it's certainly fun. The speed was a bit high in parts so it felt like I had to jerk my neck around a bit to get the blocks in place which is a little scary :P Maybe making the blocks/distances smaller (or an FOV tweak?) would help there. My high score was 18. Nice work!
