Hey. I think I might have been the first downloader. It doesn't work. It just keeps reloading the title screen. Am I doing something wrong?

I just took a look at this in the app store... no way!! I am extremely arachnaphobic and there is no way in hell I am playing this game. I remember being freaked out by the spider on the vr bathroom demo. seeing the photo on the play store of the over the head/first person spider view would probably give me nightmares for the next 10 years! good luck with the game... but hell no! :)

Just tried your game out. Pretty cool, great sense of scale and slightly disorienting but expect that going upside down. Had some issues with the car, I somehow ended up inside the mesh unable to get out. The spider also jitters a lot when moving on a Nexus 4. Other than that its a well made demo. :)

working well on Galaxy S5, and i like that you have make rotate the spider when you press joystick left or right, in this way you can use the demo while you are sitting, but there are some drift while working and you finish looking back, and the you need to go standing to rotate yourself and look at front again.

You know a way to fix this drift.


in some of my own test, I have use the joystick joined with head movement, is this way, you look where you going, and compensate automatically the drift, the movement is lest natural that yours, but you can play sitting down.

@rcazzy
i noticed that shaking problem. somehow it only appears in the stereoscopic view. try to fix it in later updates. thanks for the information with the car glitch. i wil take an eye on this problem

@jpslara
yeah the drift sucks! but thats a problem with the dive unity plugin (or better sayed with the different phone gyrometers). i hope the devs will find a solution for this soon. they told me that they work on it, but it seems to be a hard peace of work.
