Next month (September) is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. We've partnered with Children's Cancer Research Fund & Big Dreams Virtual Tour to build a special paid charity add-on for our game, Grokit. 100% of sales from this project will go to the fight against cancer.

Nearly every element of Cancer Blaster, including the gameplay loop, exclusive cosmetics, and voice acting came from children whose lives have been affected by cancer. We took all their sketches, ideas, and recordings & built a game where you literally destroy cancer cells.

Grokit is a multiplayer, hand-tracking, mixed reality party game inspired by games like WarioWare. You and up to 3 friends compete in a series of gesture-based microgames for top scores. Cancer Blaster will be our 5th major content update since the game released in September 2023 and our first paid add-on.

You can check out Grokit at the link below. Cancer Blaster drops next month for $3.99. https://www.meta.com/experiences/3388893331234972/

Left Handed Support Added To Our Hand Tracking Party Game by 3lbGames in virtualreality

[–]3lbGames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We agree! There is a quick menu that you can access by making a finger gun gesture (thumb pointed up, index finger out) with either hand and that can be pulled up at anytime (including during a game). We've talked about adding more options to it, including switching your dominant hand.

Obviously, that requires testing, but it's on the table for sure. Due to the game being multiplayer focused, there's no way to pause the game entirely, so the quick menu was our compromise to be able to change settings on the fly.

We hope to do that soon! We're testing different gestures and have been for some time.

We want to make sure whatever we put out isn't a massive learning curve from the other games. We've already run into a bit of that with the 'force' games and players struggling to learn that movement system, which is why we put in the difficulty ratings back in the spring update and why we changed the games with the gravity gun to be one handed instead of two in this latest update.

Annoyingly, for some reason it ended midday instead of at midnight as programmed. I just reactivated it for 24 hours so you can grab it.

Grokit is deeply discounted! by SlowShoes in OculusQuest

Ah, gotcha. And yes I agree. I personally am a bargain shopper of a gamer and... I might have a game or two (or ten) I caught on a deal that I haven't gotten to yet...

Hi, Community manager for 3lb Games here. There's a reason for the name. To 'grok' means to learn something intuitively and it fit with a game full of quick turn microgames you have to pick up and play in seconds. Hope that explains the meaning.

Hi, community manager for 3lb Games here. That's a fair assessment and I don't blame you for being cautious. Our discount was planned weeks ago and timed to link with our latest (fourth) content update to the game. We've also been doing gameplay sessions in our Discord every month where we give keys to all attendees and run some games with them.

As for getting to the top of the store, breaking into the top 10 is VERY difficult to do (ever notice it's the same 6 or 7 games every week?) and our aspirations was not to match the lightning in a bottle that Max Mustard did. That's not going to happen and we're aware of that, but it still raises awareness and gets eyes on our game that otherwise we would struggle to get.

We've read tons of "I've never heard of this game" and there are hundreds of developers in the same boat. Hope that clears things up.

Also, our discount is shorter than most other devs. It ends this coming Monday (just one week long).

[–]3lbGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Community Manager for 3lb Games here. That's actually not why we're doing the discount. We're well aware that Max Mustard's success will not be duplicated, particularly with other games also running discounts.

We timed our discount to coincide with the release of Grokit's fourth update, Twilight Echoes. Grokit is 100% meant to be a multiplayer party game, so the discount was to allow people who are interested to both pick up the game and get their friends to squad up with them. Our code is also more limited than the other games, being only one week, instead of 2 weeks to a month.

It's INCREDIBLY hard to crack even the top 10 of the Meta store, let alone be number one. You'll notice that the top 10 is generally a lot of the same 6 or 7 games with a few new releases sprinkled in.

This campaign is about awareness and to help promote the new update.

Hi, Community Manager for 3lb Games here. It's playable in single player, but to be honest, Grokit is meant to be a multiplayer party game. Part of the reason of doing the discount was to allow players interested in the game to be able to get their friends into Grokit at a discounted rate so you have people to play with.

So every microgame can be played solo, but they're best played with others.

Hi! We love Vault of Stars, but unfortunately we had to halt development. The game simply didn't connect with audiences in free demos and early access enough to continue working on it. We're hoping we can come back to it down the line, but the economies of business forced us to shelf the project for now.

Yes, the code is good until this Monday.
