HOOP-O Studios, a fresh face in the indie gaming scene specializing in mixed reality experiences, has some exciting news. They’re gearing up to release their latest creation, Alex and the Jets, on Quest 3 next month. This game promises to bring a unique twist to the realm of remote-controlled dogfighting.
In this casual arcade flying adventure, players step into the shoes—or rather, the paws—of Alex the Squirrel, piloting a charming little fixed-wing propeller plane. The game throws you straight into high-flying action as nefarious aerial foes from “The Jets” gang burst through portals, challenging you to take them down. As you engage in these airborne skirmishes, you’ll also need to skillfully navigate through donut-shaped rings that conveniently offer power-ups and health boosts, adding layers of strategy and excitement.
For those moments when you’d prefer a more laid-back experience, the game also offers a free roam mode. Here, you can simply cruise around your room without the pressure of combat, enjoying the sheer joy of flight. Competitive spirits will appreciate the local leaderboards, keeping track of top performances, and a cosmetic store where you can unlock stylish new gear for Alex.
One of the standout features is the confidence HOOP-O Studios has in their product, evidenced by the fact that all gameplay footage in the trailer was recorded directly through the headset’s camera. This speaks volumes about the quality of the in-game visuals and immersion.
While there’s no firm release date just yet, HOOP-O Studios is aiming for an April launch on the Horizon Store. The game will be available for both Quest 3 and Quest 3S users, so gear up for an experience that could redefine fun in mixed reality.
