Description: If you’ve ever had a dream of flying, wanted to feel the wind in your hair, wanted to soar and dive among trees of the forest, race trains and cruise perilously close to dangerous volcanoes, then this game is for you.

Flap your little wings to take off from your cozy nest, and embark on an adventure as you fly through the world, passing through peaceful forests, Persian cities, volcanic vistas and more. Earning bonus points and multipliers along the way, flying high will earn you that ever so valuable 2x bonus, but you can’t stay up there forever as the air’s too thin to flap.

Review: Leave The Nest is essentially flappy bird only in VR and yet while the idea might sound simple it manages to become a pretty fun game. Maybe it is because you need to psychically flap your way around the levels or maybe it is the score challenge element that keeps me going. Show how this game draws you in and you find yourself losing way more time than you might have thought given this games low price tag. For just £1.99 this is well worth a look and it could be good VR party game to play, but do take some time getting to learn how to fly as there is no tutorial to speak of other than some text in the menu.
