Experience Mixed Reality Dogfights at Home Next Month with ‘Alex and the Jets’

HOOP-O Studios, a promising newcomer in the indie game industry, is making waves with their upcoming mixed reality creation, “Alex and the Jets.” Gamers can look forward to this remote-controlled dogfighting game hitting the Quest 3 platform next month.

“Alex and the Jets” offers a unique twist on the classic arcade flying experience. You’ll take the helm as Alex the Squirrel, piloting a charming little fixed-wing propeller plane. Your mission? Take on the aerial adversaries from ‘The Jets’ gang. They unpredictably burst through wall portals, challenging you to shoot them down while skillfully maneuvering through donut-shaped goals that reward you with cool power-ups and health boosts along the way.

For those moments when you just want to soak in the fun without any pressure, the game also offers a free roam mode. Feel free to zip around your room at your own pace. Plus, with local leaderboards, you can keep an eye on your performance stats and work to beat your high scores. The game also features a cosmetic store, allowing you to deck out Alex with an array of stylish outfits.

What really catches the eye is the assurance from HOOP-O that all the gameplay footage in the trailer was captured directly using the headset’s camera, which speaks volumes about the quality and immersive potential of the game.

Although there’s no specific release date nailed down yet, HOOP-O Studios is aiming for an April launch on the Horizon Store, with full support for both Quest 3 and Quest 3S. Keep an eye out for what promises to be an exciting addition to the VR gaming landscape!
