Update News
VRog Now Available on PS4 VR
August 1, in the year of our Lord 2017 --
Since last November, players have been jumping through a
fascinating Virtual Reality game world on Nintendo Wii U, Oculus
Rift and Samsung GearVR. The aim is to catch as many flies as
possible. VRog, the world’s first ‘first person fly catching’
game, wows nature-loving action fans with its lovely and
detailed design as well as exciting game modes - now also on
PlayStation VR.
VRog Nominated for German Developers Award
The game developed by ByteRockers’ Games was nominated for the
German Developers Award 2016 in the category “Best VR/AR
Experience”. The German Developers Award is considered the most
important award for outstanding performances in the development
of video games in German-speaking countries.
VRog Excites Players with Intuitive Control Concept and Diverse
Game Modes
ByteRockers’ VRog wows with unusual game control. The game
foregoes all gamepads and is controlled only via the player’s
viewing direction. In the two different game modes, players can
either compete against a hungry stork or against time and
compare their high scores with those of their friends to find
out who’s the best fly catcher.
VRog: Green Fly Catcher on a Prowl
In ByteRockers’ VRog, the player controls the frog, who, in the
midst of his favorite pond, catches as many flies as he can.
While doing that, he jumps from one water lily to the next and,
while looking for his prey, explores his surroundings. But
careful: Not all insects are proper food! The player better
avoid direct confrontation with buzzing wasps. All actions are
controlled by the player by just his viewing direction. The only
thing that calls for a keystroke is starting the game. The
player already jumps into the role of the green frog in the
menu.
It’s All About the Right Food
The caught insects affect the visual effects in the game
positively or negatively. For instance, the right food can make
time around the frog slow down. This way, the players can earn
more points. Or they suddenly get the ultimate perspective:
Tracking the prey in the wilderness around the pond shortly
becomes a piece of cake. Surprise effect guaranteed: If the
players swallow the wrong insect, they have to prove their good
aim from unfamiliar perspectives.
High Score Chases and Fights for Survival - Different Game Modes
Challenge the Player
In VRog, players prove their fly catching skills in two
different game modes. The goal is always to eat as many insects
as possible. After all, our frog wants to be fully sated. In the
Arcade Mode, the player has 90 seconds to collect the most
points and beat the high score. In the second game mode, players
have to beware of the big stork. In the Survival Mode, he’s the
one disturbing the carefree pond life and making fly catching
increasingly difficult. Once the frog attracts the stork’s
attention, he should take flight. Fortunately, there is also the
helpful turtle who carries our green friend to safety on its
back. This way, the player can catch as many insects as possible
when unobserved.
VRog, developed and published by ByteRockers‘ Games, is now
available for PlayStation VR. The fly catcher game is also
available for Oculus Rift, Nintendo Wii U and Samsung GearVR.
VRog is also scheduled to be released in the US and Japan at the
end of August.
