About This Game

BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space is a VR space adventure, designed with autistic players in mind.

Welcome to deep space station Norpopolis! Mischievous creatures called groobs have escaped after a laboratory accident and are causing chaos all over the station. Using your trusty Vacuumiser 5000, your task is to help BLINNK catch them all and bring them back to the lab to restore order.



  • Go undercover to catch the groobs all around Norpopolis - while helping the locals!
  • Hunt through spaceport luggage - taking over for the bumbling security guard Bub
  • Head INSIDE people’s mouths – in joining Nazel, Norpopolis’s dentist, to clean residents’ teeth
  • Farm and fish in the station park – ensure the anxious park ranger Flek meets their quota!

BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space was built from the ground up to support and enhance the play experience for autistic players.



  • Each level offers fun, stress-free interactions without any fear of discouragement.
  • An always-available chill out zone allows you to take a break if you need it.
  • Robust accessibility features allow you to customise the sounds and visuals in the game.




Grab those groobs and restore harmony to Norpopolis!

I'm autistic (M50), a software developer and VR veteran, so I kinda assumed that I wasn't really the target audience for this. I was wrong - I really enjoyed this experience, it was really chill and relaxed and I had a lot of fun. It is clear that the developers consulted autistic people and listened : the game is very accessible and a lot of thought has gone into it. For example, there is a radio nearby in most areas : you can switch the music on, off, adjust it in a really obvious way depending on your preferences, and there are plenty of accessible options through the menus. This follows through in the game design : chill and relaxed, you can't die, there are no game over screens or timers, and the tasks are clear and well explained by a friendly robot. I was impressed - it is really 'suitable for all ages' without feeling childish or talked down to, but has enough support for first-time VR users and I would easily recommend this as a really good introduction for younger audiences ...

Okay, so listen, the idea of a VR game geared towards autistic people is great, right? I mean, it was a great concept, but execution-wise, IDK, I felt kind of like I was being hand-held too much. And thats coming from an autistic person. granted, I don't have it that bad, and it might be better for people with more severe autism, but over all? I don't know, the execution could've been better.
