About This Game

Moonatees is now free! Thanks to everyone who supported us by buying the game!

Moonatees is the most realistic VR space manatee simulator*. You play as a freshly recruited, clumsy manatee in a zero gravity playground. You face mundane tasks and an incoming asteroid that you have to beat without opposable thumbs.

"Manatees in space is a hilarious concept" - Chris Avellone, Fallout 2 Game Designer

Features

Wacky physicks - Unexpected and humorous situations!
Two-flippered grabbing - No opposable thumbs in the way!
Virtual Reality - Trick your brain into believing you are in the game!
Zero gravity - You are free to go in any direction like in an ocean!

We are an indie team of students and graduates and this is our first published game with zero budget. In testing we have observed that it takes roughly 1,5 hours to explore the play area thoroughly for a player who hasn't played the game before. The project was started in Oulu Game Lab in January 2016.

Nausea warning: You can move freely in 3D space which can cause nausea. You can reduce it by avoiding strafing and adjusting the settings in the menu.

Moonatees puts you in a quirky little VR world where you deal primarily with the effects of zero gravity and not having opposable thumbs. It's weird enough to be interesting and there were enough things for me to poke at and figure out that I played it more than once. There are no enemies or time limits, so there is a non-competitive exploration vibe. As of the posting of this review I have just over 1 hour of gameplay logged. For five bucks, there are much worse VR games out there. I'm glad to have been able to support the devs before they released their game for free (as they said they eventually plan to) and hope they keep creating.
