HOOP-O Studios, a fresh face in the indie gaming scene specializing in mixed reality experiences, has exciting news. They’ve revealed that their remote-controlled dogfighting game, “Alex and the Jets,” is set to launch next month on the Quest 3 platform.
Embark on a casual arcade flying adventure with “Alex and the Jets,” where you’ll take the reins of Alex the Squirrel, piloting a nimble, fixed-wing propeller plane. As you navigate the skies, you’ll face off against aerial adversaries from ‘The Jets’ gang, who appear through portals in your walls. Engage in thrilling dogfights while maneuvering through donut-shaped goals that offer enticing weapon upgrades and health boosts.
Beyond the heat of combat, the game offers a free roam mode, where you can leisurely zip around the room without a care in the world. Keep track of your flying prowess with local leaderboards, and enjoy a bit of style with a store full of cosmetics to unlock new looks for your character, Alex.
What’s particularly intriguing is that HOOP-O has shared that the gameplay footage in their trailer was captured directly through the headset’s camera. This certainly adds an element of authenticity and raises expectations for the quality of in-game visuals.
While a specific release date hasn’t been etched in stone yet, HOOP-O Studios is gearing up for a launch on the Horizon Store in April, supporting both Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting addition to the VR gaming landscape!
