About This Game

Waddle Home is a game about life as a benevolent alien who loves saving penguins and solving puzzles. Grab your Vive and guide penguins through a snowy world filled with traps, guards, and ice, and lead them back home to the Rescue Ship. Bop blocks and toggle switches to help them escape nasty traps and dodge those pesky robot guards. Save the penguins as fast as you can, and collect all three eggs in each level to get a high score!

  • Hang out in an Antarctic wonderland, complete with the Aurora Australis and a spaceship or two.
  • Bop and spin 40 different frozen levels! Maybe wear mittens?
  • Catch snowflakes! Really! But not in your mouth.
  • Collect eggs! Penguins love eggs. They also love fish, but those are harder to hold with a Vive controller.
  • Check out whales and dive underwater (Note: We are not responsible for thawing out your Vive headset).

Waddle home is is a a very cute game that does nothing to hide it's mobile app influences. From the start screen, to the puzzle level mechanics and simple interactions, this, at heart, screams app store. I'm not sure that the casual game mechanic is a perfect one for the immersive experience of VR, as opposed to idling away a train trip, but I cannot deny, it was fun. Standing in the freezing arctic water was a nice touch, but I really wanted to resize the island a bit, it looked a little small for my liking. I am giving it the thumbs up as it is well made, cute, complete, well thought out and deserves to be seen. My kids are eager to give it a go and I'm sure they'll love it - but just be aware, this is not a game that utilises VR to its full, it's a casual puzzler that could quite as easily been on my phone.

This game is awesome! You can tell it was made for the Vive. Easily one of the prettiest games I have right now. The gameplay is a lot of fun, and there seems to be a good number of levels. It feels very polished, not buggy at all unlike a lot of other VR games out right now. I got this game for 30% off ($7), definitely worth the price! Even seems like a bargain for $10. Check it out!

Waddle Home is a fun puzzle game in the genre of ChuChuRocket (Dreamcast). Release a penguin from it's cage and it will walk forward untill it hits an obstacle, then turns right and walks forward again. Get the penguin to the spaceship! Collect the eggs along the way. Sounds simple but the levels become more and more complex. It's a great family game or if you want to cool down from actiongames. Looks good, sounds good, runs great, good price. Specs: i7 6700k, 16GB RAM, R9 390.

Very fun puzzle game that gets increasingly challenging as you advance through the levels. This game is a perfect fit for VR as you have to look around at different angles to see everything, I can't imagine playing it without VR. Only complaint is that it's a little short, I beat all levels and collected all eggs in 2 hours. But it is one of the most polished games for VR right now and for $10 I think its worth it if you like puzzle games.

Pretty cool game. I haven't played a puzzle game like this before so it was nice to play something fresh. I haven't gotten very far but I was happy to see in the trailer that it looks like the puzzles get much more complex. Good stuff. Check out my overview on YouTube! - https://youtu.be/pbaLPFrBxBY

Sort of like Monument Valley, but in VR and with penguins. Puzzles get increasingly complex and need to be viewed from different angles to complete each level fully. Clever enough for adults but also all ages friendly. 10/10 would bop penguins repeatedly over the head again

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] Very tough call here. I would like to give a neutral recommendation. Honestly, I just didn't like the puzzles. I finished 13 and sort of don't have it in me to keep going. I didn't find the puzzles difficult, just annoying. Especially in the later puzzles where they put enemy guards that you have to avoid. The best way to describe these puzzles is that it's a maze you have the penguins navigate by changing the paths to get to the desired destination. Your penguins always turn right and the guards always turn left. You have switches to direct the path of the penguins. If you move the switch, a barricade erects and the penguin turns right earlier or gets over an obstacle, or whatever the case may be. So by doing this you can capture eggs or get to the exit. Your goal is to collect all 3 eggs and find the exit. The animations are cute. The controls are intuitive. VR does add something to this as you can easily see the w...
