About the Game

ATTENTION: THIS GAME REQUIRES HIGH-SPEED CONTROLLER TRACKING

Unfortunately, Steam removed some VR compatibility indicators, so we have to put it plainly here: Rainbow Reactor uses extremely accurate physics that only work with high-speed controller tracking. This means that throwing accuracy can suffer greatly from using wireless solutions like Air Play, Virtual Desktop etc - depending on your setup. Also, the game does not support lower frequency positional tracking like what is used in WMR for example. In short, it is advised to play this game using external tracking like lighthouses. On a side note, this makes this game an ideal tool to find out how good the inside-out tracking of HMDs and also the speed and reliablity of your wireless transmission is.

Welcome to the future! In this fun-packed VR game which is easy to understand but hard to master, you'll help to provide an entire city with the future's very own and very clean Rainbow Energy - at the RAINBOW REACTOR!

Normal operations have collapsed when the loading crane malfunctioned. Now it's up to the player, controlling a clueless Cleaner Bot, to load the reactor manually. Not an easy task, as the chromium balls which are full of precious energy are very volatile. Any mishandling could end in disaster…

FEATURES:

- 9 levels of rising difficulty and additional features and hazards

- 9 groovy Synthwave tunes which are synched to the action

- "SINGLE SHIFT" mode with modifiers for higher or lower difficulty & score

- "PARTY MODE" for localized play with individual name-entry for the leaderboards

- 11 different leaderboards to compare scores with your friends or the whole world

- 17 unlockable achievements

- "Museum Tour Feature" lets you teleport and explore the reactor room

- Index Controller support

- Colorblind Mode (see news article for details)

- Downloadable manual (see right hand menu on Steam Store page)

- High-End visuals without any use of pre-made assets - aimed at perfomance GPUs

- Funky music & punchy sound effects

- Spoken language support in English, French, German*, Dutch**, Italian*** and Latin-American Spanish

EDIT: 1/21/19 - I originally expressed hesitation toward paying full game price, but that was before I realized the FULL ACCESS version would be much larger, and almost certainly a better cost / content ratio. Yes, I think a bigger and better game will be more worthwhile and more fun game. ----------------------------------------------------------- I paid full (sale) price (and I’m glad I did!) This reviewer just spent 30 minutes playing Rainbow Reactor, and I had such a great time I (literally) had to force myself to stop! While perhaps not the world’s biggest fan of color matching games, I’m far from a stranger to the genre, and I have enjoyed it often while on Steam. Yet even in that context I don’t hesitate to take this opportunity to say that color matching through a combination of dexterity and strategy (mostly strategy, I’m inclined to think at this point) is just remarkably fun, and I sincerely thank the friend who told me about Rainbow Reactor. First, the reason I...

If you like to stand at the exact same spot inside an interesting looking complex industrial building and are the "match 3" loving type of gamer go ahead. I have to admit that I am not a fan of "Match 3" so I tried to have a look around. The only spot reachable by teleport seems to be in front of the exit button. This is too bad since the building looks stunning and I would love to explore... The throwing part actually was surprisingly accurate, can't confirm the problems some other reviewers were experiencing. From a technical point of view this is done very well. I did not find enough content for the amount they are currently asking. This might be different for fans of "match 3" games. They also could add different locations or the possibility to walk around and explore...

This is Puzzle Bobble/Bust A Move in VR where you can throw the balls with either hand and mix balls to make different colors. It's fun, looks great, has good music, and has global leaderboards. Here's my green screen gameplay https://youtu.be/tGOIF2842qE

Fully functional, it does what it says on the tin. A serviceable match 3 in a genre that strangely see's little movement in VR. The positives: Seated or standing, it plays the same. Graphics are nice and tidy, and looks the part when you increase the in game rendering scale. The throwing mechanic works, the game is can be played at differing paces that will alter percentages of scoring, that is backed up by a global leaderboard. The Rhythmic update is a great addition, very like 'To The Tops' cool vibes if you enjoyed that. One or two nit picks: Struggled with lack of instruction, there appears to be no visual text explaining things. There's vocal instruction, but it seemingly flew over my head as it happens while your in a game and easily missed if you don't happen to start the level where things are explained to you. Performance could be sketchy, at 1.0 on the render it looks very average, something you'll want to change. I have a powerful computer and upped to 1.8, the motion o...

I'm having a lot of fun playing this - it ticks a lot of boxes for me. I love throwing stuff in VR. The music is sick. The factory environment looks really good. The game has a sense of humour. The core game play requires good strategy. Works great on the Pimax!

Fun game for everyone! We installed this game at our company to try our freshly installed HTC Vive with some non-violent, inoffensive content. Now the problem is, I can't stop my colleagues from playing! Young, old, male or female, everyone loves throwing and especially mixing these paint balls! Really a fantastic showcase that pretty much works for everyone and has you play more, the depth of the gameplay starts to reveal itself. Will be interesting to see how this game develops, so far it's got great visuals and perfect playability. The audio side, especially music, could have more punch and variety but this really doesn't make too much difference for the game. Still I guess we'll have to restrict the use of this game to outside of work hours. OR, we let the boss try it as well...

Great game! This ‘match three’ type game deserves to be played by more people. I loved playing a similar game, Puzzle Bobble, back in the day and enjoy this game just as much. There are nine levels of increasing difficulty with level 9 offering a great challenge as you have to try and make 99 matches. The ability to mix colours to form other colours is a great addition to the game play and is well executed. I found the friendly robot, Dottie, to be adorable and, unlike some, won’t be turning her voice off! Also, in between games you can take a breather and do a tour of the factory which is a nice touch. This game was made by a very small dev team but you would never know this as the level of polish to the game is top notch and the background environment of the factory and the cityscape is stunning. It’s a great game to demo to VRgins as there’s no motion sickness and the gameplay is intuitive. This game should belong in everyone’s VR library!

Its a match 3 game that relies on your aiming being off to create tension... The graphics are colorful, the game easy to understand and pretty entertaining to play. Id love for a way (pistol shoot with a guide of where it will fall?) would be great. because my biggest frustration was that i didnt hit my intended target, and levels are challenging so having bad aim is a game killer. That being said, the throw mechanics are very well done, its quite probable my misses where my fault rather than the games fault... still, its easier to blame the game because i knew where i wanted to throw the ball. Enjoyable, kid friendly, relaxing.

Thanks for a great game. I just wanted to drop in and say what a great game this has been .. :) I'm glad that you guys are still adding stuff. :) I read the recent news and just know there are people out there that greatly enjoy what you have created. I thank you for taking the time and talent to do so. I had to not play it for a month and a half due to an oculus S bug that did not allow me to throw properly in ANY game at all. They seem to have fixed that.. off to playing this game again. I'm sure when my daughter sees that it can be played again she'll be at it again too. Again .. Thanks :)

That's so much fun. I just bought this game and have to dive right back in for a few more rounds but wanted to give my feedback first. And with the sale that's a true bargain.
