A small exploration of what it might be like to play a 2D sprite-based platformer in VR.

The "game" is really just a tech demo for procedural 1D heightmaps that are generated on the fly as the character runs around. There's no loss, points, or victory conditions.

I did not make new character artwork, so I've had to opt out of graphics judgement.
