Description

Grand Prize Winner of the 2019 UCSC Sammy's Showcase, Wacktory is a cooperative game reminiscent to the style of Overcooked featuring a VR player and couch players working *together* to deliver the most advanced product ever seen—The Cube.

A player in VR acts as the foreman of a wacky factory where they crank, break, stamp, and slingshot expensive goods into trucks, but one player can't do it alone! Our VR foreman needs their fellow players on the couch to act as trusty robots on the factory floor. The floor is filled with various hazards, holes, and smashers alike. The couch players must traverse these tricky obstacles to efficiently grab, box, combine and deliver top-notch product, let alone fixing all the broken machinery. Safety precautions are advised for the lil' rust buckets, but odds are they're not getting out of here alive...

Wacktory is new way to play co-op that's engaging for anyone from families to the most competitive among us. It creates a unique, communicative, and nail-biting experience for players in and out of VR. We welcome you to invite your friends; invite your parents; invite your enemies to play this VR couch co-op game together.
