Four games from Realtech VR

I want to begin by saying that Realtech VR has some of the best graphics I have seen in homebrew, they rival commercial games. That being said, two of these games are very good and the other two are o.k. The controls in all four games are tight and intuitive. These are all high quality homebrew games.

Ukke:



This puzzle game has you position blocks on a grid which act as "stepping stones" so you can move your "throwing star" from one side of the grid to the other. Along the way, you must move your "star" to special blocks which enables you to proceed to the next level. Here's the rub, as you move from one block to another your "star" is vulnerable to the white screen which passes over the grid. Make sure you are on a block when the "white screen" glides by. This game is o.k. when it comes to gameplay but not addictive.

Panic Paradyz:



I enjoyed this game more than Ukke but was not blown away. Here you control a large diamond which is followed by many small diamonds (souls). You must try to avoid obstacles, which will kill your souls, by moving left, right, up, and down while following the white path. This game has the feel of a racing game. As you progress through the game it becomes more difficult to keep you souls from hitting obstacles. Fun game but not good enough for my Best Homebrew list.

Freesh:



Evolution is difficult. In Freesh you must feed your molecule so it will grow/evolve. There are two kinds of molecules: regular and starving (surrounded by a red ring). You must venture away from your pet to find smaller molecules to bring back and feed it. Starving molecules cannot be fed to regular molecules but the reverse is possible. Make you trips brief because larger molecules will try to eat your pet. You can repel hungry molecules by "flashing". This game is addictive, fun, and definitely going on my Best Homebrew list.

No Gravity:



According to their website this game is going commercial. This is actually a demo including 5 of the levels. Let's call this a space flight simulator shooter. Fly around collecting boxes, shooting enemies, and destroying mines. Flight controls and game mechanics are flawless. There are several types of weapons to choose from. One complaint: as you take damage from enemies your windshield develops cracks which makes it more difficult to see what you are doing. This is in addition to the frantic gameplay where you may have many enemies and mines on screen at one time. I believe this game is worthy of commercial status and is going on my Best list.
