BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space is the space adventure designed for autistic players that everyone will love.

Welcome to Space Station Norpopolis! Mischievous creatures called Groobs have escaped after a laboratory accident and are causing chaos all over the station. Using your trusty Vacuumiser 5000, your task is to help BLINNK catch them all and bring them back to the lab to restore order.

As you travel around Norpopolis in search of the pesky creatures, you'll meet the locals and help them with their tasks. Take over from security guard Bub to check the luggage in the spaceport . Help Nazel the dentist to clean people's teeth - from inside their mouths. Join park ranger Flek to grow food and catch fish to feed the Norpopleans.

BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space was built from the ground up to support and enhance the virtual experience for autistic players. Each level offers fun, stress-free interactions without any fear of discouragement. If you need a break, just hit your smart watch and you'll go to the chill out zone - you can rejoin the game when you're ready. The accessibility menu allows you to customise the sounds and visuals in the game to suit you.

VR for autism, fun for everyone!

Enjoyable game

The game is really enjoyable. Job-Vacation Simulator like. Something is still to balance on optimisation, it’s a little too short, but it’s really funny. Looking forward to have a look to the final version.

AN INCLUSIVE SPACE ADVENTURE!

Digital therapy for neurodivergent individuals. A light, accessible, and immersive world. Ideal for everyone, especially for VR accessibility. BLINNK and the Vacuum of Space deeply impressed me with its inclusive ambition: designed from the ground up for autistic and neurodivergent players, it succeeds in offering a calm, playful, and pressure-free VR experience where everyone can progress at their own pace. The graphic design relies on muted colors, reassuring visuals, and soothing sound effects for stress-free immersion. The concept? Catching "Groobs" within the Norpopolis station by completing various tasks in peace and quiet. The vacuumer becomes a companion, the levels unfold smoothly, and the reward is gentle. I particularly appreciate the absence of an oppressive timer, the integrated "chill" zone, and the well-thought-out accessibility options. Of course, it's not an ultra-realistic simulation or an action blockbuster. The gameplay depth might seem moderate, and the environments a bit repetitive after several sessions. But here, comfort, inclusivity, and relaxation are paramount. For anyone looking for a welcoming, unique, and responsive VR experience, BLINNK is a truly excellent option, and a step towards a VR that caters to everyone.

Great game, especially for kids!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this game but I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it is. A lot of it has to do with the fact that each of the mini-games (for a lack of a better term) are all truly unique and take hints from many existing games, bringing them all into one spot. For example, the first scene you are a luggage inspector, rifling the peoples luggage and destroying any items that aren’t allowed. The second you’re a robot repair person replacing broken robot parts. Your parts bin is essentially one of those claw machines where you grab the parts you need. The third you’re an alien dentist. You have to shrink down then do your dental work from the inside. (The games/scenes go on). While you’re playing each of these different games, you also have to be aware of these little green blobs and vacuum them up (reminds me of Trover). Every game is unique, no repetition that gets boring after awhile like other games. It’s also noteworthy that the developers made this game with autistic children in mind, which is honorable and worth mentioning!

Fun adventure

The game reminded me a lot of classics like floor plans 2 and job Simulator, but it is really a unique experience. The game already feels really polished, graphic quality and voice acting are awesome, it has a comic like style. You are given a cool variety of fun task and get to know whacky alien creatures 😆 The game also has a great portion of humor. And really cool is: you have no pressure - it is always chill 🙂 What is truly outstanding is that the game has a huge variety of accesability features! For that price the game is a steal and a clear 5 Star candidate for me

Enjoyable Experience

I have only managed the first spaceport guard stage yet. It takes a lot of lines to get going, but it's fun with great voice acting and comical lines. If you've had fun with Unbinary, Kill it with fire, and Airport Security Guard, you'll definitely have fun with this. In particular, unlike other games, there's no particular pressure on scores and time, other than vacuuming bugs.
