Pick up space toys! by panda

[raw]
made by panda for LD 42 (JAM)

We're running out of space, mom says we have to clean up.

She said to clean up the space toys, right?

Look around to find the space toys and click on them to pick them up. Can you make it through all the levels? Can you find the secrets?

**I'm in!** I don't yet know what I'll make, but I'm hoping I can make it work with the Oculus Go (and normal computers too). Wish me good luck!

My game, "Pick up space toys!" is now (somewhat) playable, yay milestone! I added the [link](https://out-of-space.glitch.me/) to my game description but it is very much **unfinished** so don't submit ratings for the contest yet!

Yay, finished! It works from the web on any computer, but also with Oculus Go and (hopefully) related VR goggles.

[Give it a try](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/pick-up-space-toys)!

This game actually surprised me when I opened it. Not 100% sure how you take all the photos to stitch seamlessly together but I liked it. I spent longer than I would like to admit inside this 3D I-spy.

This is great, never saw anything like it. I love the animated toys that move when clicked.

This was really cute. Your kids are lucky to have parents like you. I mean, come on, I would have LOVED a personal ball pit as a kid!!

The only thing I didn't like in this game was the music. A painfully basic measure that loops quick and sounds borderline painful on its first iteration. But I liked everything else!

Fair criticism, @seafishelle. I don't really know how to make music that sounds good.

Awesome!! Just like picking up my daughters toys at home every day ;) (Noticed how the URL is the days of the week)

This was a wicked cool interactive experience. I don't have a VR setup, but the game worked just fine on desktop. I had a great time all the way up to the end! Awesome game!

Really awesome, well designed, and unique game! Brilliant job well done. Only thing I would work on is I noticed for some items the picture you would replace them with would be lighted differently or a little offset so that there is a visible line outlining the stitched picture. For a game made in 3 days though I wouldn't expect you to have gotten a 100% seamless and error free game.

Didn't expect game to be so fun! Also, I enjoyed those little animations. Shame that in last level some of the toys were captured with different lightning.

Pretty cool idea, the game is really well done, and animations are very neat. The music is a bit annoying, but can be desactivate so it's cool :)

Love it, the animations n stuff are great, and you managed to stitch the photos together really well. The ending made me laugh, first Ludum Dare game I beat so far.

Music is a bit stressfull however ( can be muted so not an issue). Really nice work overall !

Such a good idea ! I worked in a VR company and still never heard of something like that. That was cute, the music loop is too obvious and a bit annoying. I laughed when I saw the first animation and I smiled the whole game haha. Great job !

Would be cool to have a full-featured quest/adventure game based on 3D camera photos, and with a plot. This is just a concept, for sure, but the idea is really cool and innovative.

Man! That was so cute! That's all I have to say.

@grigory agreed! We could make a whole adventure game, with inventory and everything.

First VR game I've encountered during LD Jam. Got me interested instantly!

Things feel very trippy. Not necessary a bad thing.

Game reminds me of Toy Story.

Difficulty was just right I think. The Space Toys were just discoverable enough.

Music was annoying so I muted it. Mute didn't hold through the level, so I had to mute it every level.

I liked the stuff responding to clicks like the robot waving back on level 2 and the crocodile lurking. Nice touch!
