Light Tracer a puzzle game> designed for VR goggles. Oasis Games, based in Hong Kong, is responsible for its development. For some people, the team may be known as the PC publisher of Tiger Knight: Empire War.
Mechanics
During the game we control a princess climbing a huge tower full of traps. The woman foes this to help sick people, but without us she is completely helpless. The fun is interesting as we do not control the heroine directly. Instead, we play the role of a kind of god, having a magic wand and the ability to manipulate the environment. In one hand we hold a beam-shooting staff, thus pointing the way for the princess. With the other hand we turn the boards clockwise and counterclockwise or move the platforms. In this way we help our protege in overcoming subsequent obstacles, avoiding e.g. falling stones and subsequent floors of the tower.
Developers have prepared eight very different chapters. In one case we move on dry, stone fragments of the tower. Some time later we wander at night. Then we go through the ice stages and then walk upside down in a chapter with variable gravity. Individual boards require from us a slightly different way of action, because, for example, when walking on the ice princess slides and can easily fall into a trap.
For most of the game we try to avoid danger, getting past our opponents, but at the end of each stage we have to fight with the boss. The princess is frail and weak, so during the clash we have to display reflexes and use appropriate strategies, e.g. attack the monster only from behind.
Technical aspects
Light Tracer features pleasant and charming visuals. The princess is well-animated, locations diverse and ingeniously designed. Developers used a fairytale-like graphic style, managing to cover up any deficiencies.
