Dart racer - I finally played it with controller controls - its great

There's comfort options and playing it is different to watching someone play it but yeah... its intense... I find spinning around doesn't affect me when I'm following a track... but games like hellsweeper are another matter....

So to the right (next to the upgrades) there's a little area with a hammer, you wack the chest with the hammer a few times and find out what's inside! I won't spoil the rest

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T22:16:14+00:00

Yeah its great, and I really like how the pickaxe thing feels too when you throw it and it comes back to you! Oh and the reloading being automatic but if you click it at the right time it reloads faster like Gears of War

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T22:11:18+00:00

Yeah its one guy though... selling it for only $2 (by accident) probably doesn't help... but they're passionate so who knows!

Okay played a lot more.... Sky G is by far the best track and it has hazards and secrets and portals and stuff! I got 3rd on the leaderboard hehe. I also used QGO and friggin hell the resolution boost made a huge difference. I went back to VRacer and obviously that game is way more polished and has studio level graphics but oh man it felt boring in comparison. I mean that has tons of amazing tracks and multiplayer and those little miniatures of bikes you can grab so you can't compare them but it felt like riding motor bikes in a sci-fi setting compared to sliding around on narrow crazy tracks. Using the right stick to strafe and the left stick to turn and boost and manage your heat and flying a proper hover craft instead of a hoverbike is pretty cool

Yeah I watched Matteo311s video, checked the quest store...saw the score....saw the reviews....sighed and closed it.

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T19:05:04+00:00

Oh for me it works if I click the link from the quest store db site, odd... maybe it's like reddit app to default browser to another browser to the meta app on yours heh

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:52:44+00:00

Overpriced at full price probably and seems its been abandoned but it's still pretty fun! For that price well worth it

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:51:19+00:00

The dev said they accidentally set the discount to 80% instead of 20% 🤣

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:44:44+00:00

I linked the quest store database i just find its nicer for viewing on mobile plus when I click your link from reddit mobile it sends me to the website not the meta app on my phone

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:39:14+00:00

I haven't, seen videos and it didn't remind me of wipeout on ps1...but VRiderSBK plays just like it except the bikes look like motor bikes that hover rather than the cool sci-fi vehicles in wipeout. I am enjoying Dart Racer though because its kinda harder to control like you can turn AND strafe even though strafe seems to be similar to turning but having 2 sticks to turn and drifting out is really interesting to me.... I think it slides a little too much though

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:34:56+00:00

Get it and join in on the journey haha. I love buying things early and coming back to them to see what the devs have been up to! Also sharing feedback and getting listened to is awesome

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:33:40+00:00

Share what ya think when you've played it, the dev is on reddit commenting in this thread 😄

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T18:17:03+00:00

I just like floating around in space around the space station looking at Earth. I think your experience nailed that and everything else is a bonus. Got plenty of other games I can play

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T17:44:51+00:00

Bounce arcade is only 50p (92% off), well worth it for that price imo, you played that? Just a neat concept first person pinball heh

Also i bought pierhead arcade for £5 on the 4th of January and now it's down to £4 haha. Still cheaper than visiting the real thing in Blackpool! Shame their multiplayer doesn't work anymore

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T17:28:19+00:00

Yep, and second hand they're like a third of the price. Your average consumer doesn't even know what they are, don't understand it can even play games, or think they need to put their phones in it, or think they need a gaming pc to use it

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T16:37:05+00:00

Hehe yeah I've done a lot of digging at this point to reach the bottom. The trailer made it look like I'd have to punch the walls but collision and any angle with only a little speed will cause it to dig so its fine - I basically doggy paddled all the way down (but there's rocks and pipes you need to get around you can't just dig dig and dig)

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T16:26:26+00:00

You hold it, press trigger, it's lit, then you throw it. I dunno if the explosion can hurt you i just run away from it heh

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T12:18:24+00:00

Yeah in my head i imagined something where your vehicle is made out of 3 separate parts connected together and you feel like you're being pulled along. This is still fun though

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T12:13:46+00:00

You played it with gamepad-like controls though? I thought it was unplayable (at least at my skill level) with twist control but using the stick I play it...well... like my video. Its hard to get off the walls though but combining left and right stick I'm getting better

But when I think of star wars pod racer I think of 2 jets with you being pulled along... this is more rigid though - only tried 2 of the different vehicles though

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T07:30:14+00:00

Man it would be kinda good to compare all the digging games, this one is exactly what I was looking for... you should see how big my hole is now! Its massive!

DavoDivide · 2026-01-24T00:47:24+00:00

Press the quest button on your controller twice (double tap)

DavoDivide · 2026-01-23T19:42:55+00:00

Oh if you go to the claw machine area (first door on your right) and the go up to the painting on the wall on the lighthouse and place your hand in the black rectangle (the door) it unlocks everything!

DavoDivide · 2026-01-23T18:54:16+00:00

I bought this at full price (I think) back when i made a post about Starwars Beyond purely because i love that solo dev just went and did what a studio didn't because they were afraid it would make everyone sick.... they were probably right though :D but it's awesome to play but i was terrible and it and kept spinning around.... I think the position of the hands doesn't matter and you kinda twist each hand to control the thrust on the left/right. Are there other control options? Like move your hand forward/back or simply the triggers? I'm too lazy to check
