About This Game

Blortasia is an abstract art world in the sky.
Fly freely through a surreal maze of evolving sculptures. Take a break from reality and explore an animated psychedelic sculpture park. Wander through the labyrinth, soar across the open space, or just hang out and let the mesmerizing ever-changing sculptures provide a rejuvenating refuge for your mind. Blortasia combines art and flying in virtual reality.

Blortasia is a virtual reality art experience designed to engage the imagination and inspire wonder through shape, color, motion, sound, and spatial presence. Instead of recreating art from the real world, Blortasia explores virtual reality as an aesthetic medium in and of itself. Rather than telling a narrative story like a movie, or presenting objectives, puzzles, and challenges like a game, Blortasia transports you into an art installation unconstrained by the limits of ordinary reality.

Features
• Innovative Physics based VR navigation makes flying in Blortasia easy and comfortable even for most motion sensitive people.

• Blortasia's flowing designs provide a constantly evolving environment that's always unique.

• Hypnotic soundtrack fuses ancient and modern sound healing techniques.

• The abstract nature of Blortasia inspires the imagination through pareidolia.

• Psychedelic boogie board platform provides spatial reference and stability for surfing through Blortasia.

Flying is simple and intuitive.
Point the controller where you want to go and squeeze the trigger to accelerate.
Use one controller or combine them for increased speed and maneuverability.
​Low, medium, and high speed modes and analog triggers provide smooth and precise control. Explore the space at your own pace.

Blortasia is created by artist and Academy Award winning visual effects pioneer, Kevin Mack.
Mack's work is inspired by transcendent visions, technology, nature, neuroscience, physics, and artificial life.

This is one of the trippiest game I've ever played! There are no objectives. There are no missions. There are no puzzles. There's just this procedurally generated tubular labyrinth floating in the sky that looks like it's made out of wet paint morphing around like it's liquified. You could maybe call it a maze but there's not exactly a singular exit you're supposed to find. There are globs of paint-like goo floating around changing colors and patterns and then there are more complex structures that look spongey or molecular. All you do is fly around inside and outside of it listening to the music and it's amazing. The music sounds like throat singing and synthesizer but it also might have didgeridoo mixed in. It's the definition of droning. It lasts like twenty minutes then loops from the beginning. Blortasia is an abstract artistic meditation on novelty. How you experience it is up to you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744680626

If Dali and Pollock had VR then this is what they would have made. Super trippy flying through the abstract art. Just wish I could interact with the blobs and it had multiplayer aspect to enjoy this trip with others.

This is hands down one of the most stunning VR experiences I've ever played. I originally tried Zen Parade (Mack's Galaxy Gear VR app) at VRLA, and my mind was blown. However, this..... this, is something else entirely. This near brought me to tears. Its so beautfiul, and feels like love. Do yourself a favor and go meet all the weird and unique entities you'll find in blortasia. Jesus its so good.

If you play this and dont love it, I think your a little dead inside .Its what Vr was designed for. Flying round the outside of the shapes is a seriously thrill. I could watch the small pieces morphing for hours. Please add more content and scenery. If you have ever had dreams where you can fly or float this is just like it . Thank you for producing this game.

I read the rave reviews so though I would give it a try as it was only £3.99. Sadly I was left pretty dissapointed, It's not for me. I was hoping there would be more options or customisation but its just like flying around a big mixed paint blob in the sky. Nice textures and light effects plus the controller skins are cool but it seems nothing more than a basic tech demo to me. A 5 minute experience and not fun but that's just my opinion. It might be a bit better after a few pints or a smoke!

Absolutely worth $5. This is the tripiest media I have ever seen. This was one of the more amazing experiences I have had with VR. It will definitly be something will we be demoing to people and come back to for myself. Please make more experiences like this. I will thow money at you.

I am all for flying in VR through abstract shapes, but this is really barebones. And five dollars? That's just cynical. If you want to fly and glide in VR through dreamy landscapes, while weird music plays, for under ten bucks, go buy Lucid Trips for an experience that's ten times better. Five bucks for this. For shame.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/oWSiLMCYJKg This is a VR showcase for Kevin's Mack art piece Blortasia, which is basically a huge VR art sculpture. It's like a tie dye psychedelic trip with some ohmm sound track on repeat. You can fly around the sculpture and go inside and through it to see large or small shapes of ever-changing colors. It's running on the Unity engine. There is no snap or smooth turning. You can't turn off the "ohmmm" soundtrack on repeat. I did enjoy this art piece, but I actually think that Blort (a mini-Blortasia experience on MoOR) is better. It seems this giant version has poorer textures and seems like it may be stretched out. The lighting isn't the best either. I'm not an art critic, so I won't score this review. I enjoyed it, so I recommend it. However, I'm not sure how good a value proposition this is. The normal retail price of $7 seems a bit high for something you...

It's like a 'walls are breathing' acid trip thing (with some beautiful music) where you can float around in a blob that is sort of oozing coloured patterns. It's nice if you're looking for that and are in the right head space. A little creepy for kids since it's sort of pulsing dismal patterns and strange vocalisation. Anyway kind of a cool idea. Really liked the music.
