Along Together, an adorable Lucky's Tale style puzzle platformer for Oculus GO, GearVR and Rift

I found this little gem yesterday, it's adorable and engaging, the puzzles get progressively intricate. It's a fantastic game on the GO, relaxing but also challenging.

It's on sale at the moment.

Highly recommended if you liked Lucky's Tale. 

Nice to see games for both GO and Rift coming out.

It looks to be aimed at under 13yr olds and I thought that is now against the Rules.

Nice recommendation LZ,

Purchased and played the first few levels already. Love it! This is the same company that made one of my (secret) favorite VR games, Floor Plan. woohoo!

to anyone who got last months humble monthly *** it had Yooka laylee in it which has a VR mod for it which may float your boat.

*** I was so close to getting it... gutted to be honest, Yooka laylee alone as the headline would have made me grab it, as it was I just decided to pass.

Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

Looks fun.

Mac Man Ori and the blind forest was aimed at that age range also and that was one of the best stories, most challanging and visually enjoyable experiences ive had in the past four years.
Also sad as hell in the beginning...

I know you are talking for the eye sight but thats a cover your ass statement  by Oculus.

WAAAGH!

Ori and the Blind forest was a masterpiece. I really enjoyed it.
Mario Cart is meant to be a kids game but loads of adults play it.

I finally beat this today! This was a fun little puzzler The last level actually stumped me a bit.

My only recommendation would that the game could use a Boss Battle or two. I know it's a puzzler, but it plays like a Platformer. I was hoping for one or two puzzle-based battles. But overall this was very enjoyable.

This review published on Steam stopped me from purchasing the game:

"I think this game would be great for kids. However, I´d like to point out that it is not really a game for adults. I say this because, somehow, the game´s trailer makes it look as if it would be, showing scenes of a game that while simple, might be beautifully evocative. Well, it is not, it´s just a kid´s game. Also, the trailer makes it look as if the game would have beautiful graphics that an adult might appreciate besides the simplicity of the game. Well, it doesn´t, it´s just a kid´s game. It is not evocative, and it is not beautiful, as i.e. Lucky's Tale is. It´s not a bad game, for kids in fact is great, but I think the trailer is somehow misleading. Also, I think the promotional picture is also missleading, because while the main characters are beautifully made, the landscape is not. Textures and models are very simple and low quality, except for the main characters."

And you disagree with that review? To me it does look like a game I could run at a perfect 90 fps ss 2.0 like Lucky's Tale - and I'm a great fan of Lucky's Tale.

I beat Lucky's Tale, and to me it is just as much of a kid's game as Along Together. I mean that wholeheartedly. In fact, Lucky's Tale is the main game I used to demo when my friends/family would bring their kids over to visit. I'd put the adults in Technolust and The Manor, and the kids in Lucky's Tale.

I mean hell, the premise in the same in both games: A fox looking for his pig, a girl looking for her dog.

Plus, I'm not sure how many kids would enjoy trying to figure out puzzles all day long. Some puzzles are easy, but a lot of them are challenging for adults.

I would say that this game has a much more "childlike" element to it, so it's more for adults who are 'kids at heart.' But try putting a 9 year old in here and they are likely to get frustrated quick.
