A surprise, and a fun one so far

My first impressions weren’t good. Initially the game had a slightly primitive presentation that made me fear that this would be yet another unsatisfying indie game with good ideas but without the technical prowess to execute them properly. The premise of the game is very clever. You have to roll a little marble person through an adventure inside a magic toy that you discovered in your grandmother’s attic. Unless something changes for the worse, it looks like the developers had the technical skills to pull it off. A few minutes into the game I was smiling and having fun. The graphics are quite pleasant once the game gets going. I’ve seen only one minor technical issue so far. There is a brief slowdown when dropping a new level into the box. The music also ends after a short while in each level, but I don’t know if this is intentional or a glitch. Either way it doesn’t bother me so I hesitate to call it a technical issue. The basic “roll a marble through a maze by tilting the box” mechanic works very well and feels just like the real thing. Some other object manipulations are a bit clunky, (I don’t want to say what they are to avoid spoilers), but after a little fiddling and practice they work fine. This is more of an action game than a puzzle game which was a surprise. However it’s so enjoyable I found that to be a pleasant surprise. (There are some puzzles and they’re occurring more frequently, so the puzzle aspect may get more challenging over time.) I’ll update my review after I’ve completed the game and adjust the score if necessary. I think it may end up warranting a five star review, especially considering its low price.

Cute litte game with good ideas

Cute little game with great ideas for interacting with the game board and the character Guinevere. Controlling the character works great. At the beginning, it's fun and interesting to control the game board by tilting and holding it, but I quickly switched to using the joystick - which doesn't detract from the fun. The puzzles start off easy and become more complex as the story and chapters progress, but they are never really difficult and rarely challenging, but - and this is very good - never frustrating or unfair. The execution is charming. The little world is beautifully designed, the ideas for interaction fit very well in VR and are well implemented. I felt entertained throughout the entire game. However, there is still the feeling that more could be done in terms of puzzle depth, story arc, music, combat, traps, (hidden) collectibles, etc. For puzzle enthusiasts and the low price, in my opinion, it is worth picking up without hesitation.

Roll into Camelot

This game took me by surprise. I was expecting an easy, fun, cute game like The Curious Tales of the Stolen Pets, but I got much more. The game takes place in Camelot, where you play as Guinevere to save the kingdom. Here is where the game gets interesting and really fun. You don't move the character around like you would in a normal platformer type game. Instead you roll them around the world like a marble. Think of one of those old marble boxes, where you had to roll the marble through a labyrinth without falling in any holes. This really adds a fun challenge to a cozy game. The hand controls on the box feel amazing, it's like holding the real thing. This is also a game you want to show your friends and stream to the TV. Everyone watching me play wanted a turn to jump in and see if they could face the rolling challenges.

Delightful!

I thought this looked cute, but it turned out to be a LOT more fun than I was expecting, with plenty of gameplay. A gentle, engaging experience. (Note: If you get stuck on level 9, look for a large round stone floor in front of a tower and smash it.)

Not a fan

Too frustrating, just seeing a tiny portion of the "game board." Seems like a poor use of VR. The "out of control" rolling motion is frustrating too. I would love to be immersed in this land (at least on occasion) to add some dynamic and excitement. Hubby and I both feel this way.
