This is not an action game. It’s a piece of audio-visual art, the concept of which is free movement through various rotating spheres. Each sphere has its own internal art work and accompanying music track. Spheres are set within a trippy landscape in which the pools of water generate fairly captivating reflections. Not all spheres are ground based, and the user is able to use a fly mode in order to explore these.
I purchased an earlier version of this and found it to be a very interesting and pleasant experience. Whist the early version had a few performance issues, the Dev was brilliant and worked diligently to resolve them. This updated version now reflects those improvements, and in my experience it runs very smoothly. Anyone who is fond of psychedelic art and the hippy culture of the 70’s will likely find this experience enjoyable and possibly a bit nostalgic. Whilst I am not a big lover of free movement within virtual environments using a standard games controller because of the risk of some users feeling uncomfortable, I did not have any problems in this respect. However, I do have a high tolerance for such things. What I have found myself doing is traveling to specific spheres and then just staying stationary, enjoying the visual environment and ambiance due to the music. After a hard day’s work I have found this great as a chill experience.
I would highly recommend this app for the reasons stated above. I look forward to future instalments, which I hope will continue to explore the use of VR as a canvas for displaying creative audio-visual art works.

Re: Pablito's comment: I think what may have been 'lame' was runtime .08 and the Nvidia drivers at the time, less to do with Unity. Also, while everyone is entitled to their 'taste' in music and of course 'opinion', anyone who buys this application off the website is entitled to a refund if, as in this case one is particularly unsatisfied with the purchase. No harm done, simply go to the website and email your receipt and request a full refund. If you do purchase off the website, PayPal also offers refunds for up to 6 months if a product does not meet your expectations which can certainly happen in all matters of taste... also, updates to the Oculus Rift runtimes can also disable functionality from time to time. This is fully updated to runtime 1.30 and runs beautifully. Enjoy.

I had this with the Runtime 0.8... Lame,\choppy unity engine, VERY lame music(laughable!) It's worth 1.99, not a penny more!!!
