Age Group: 10+ | VR Platform
Introduction
In Galaxy Gatherers, young adventurers embark on an exciting intergalactic journey to collect stars scattered across distant galaxies. This VR experience blends exploration, skill, and strategy, designed to challenge and engage players ages 10 and up. Players receive clear instructions at the start, and each level introduces a new cosmic setting filled with stars to gather and obstacles to avoid.
Gameplay and Levels
Level 1:
Set in the Nebula Zone, players aim to reach a score of 30 by collecting blue and red stars. Players must avoid black stars, which deduct 10 points, keeping them on their toes as they navigate through the star-filled skies.
Level 2:
In the Meteor Field, players face an elevated challenge with a target score of 45. Red stars are more frequent here, giving players the chance to boost their score faster but requiring sharper reflexes to avoid the black stars that appear more often.
Level 3:
The final challenge takes place in the Galactic Core. Here, players must reach a score of 65, maneuvering through denser clusters of stars while staying alert for black stars that can quickly reduce their hard-earned points. This level requires focus and strategy, bringing together all the skills learned in previous levels.
