Game On! Micro Machines Hits VR & Mixed Reality
Rev Up Your Headsets: Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem is making a grand entrance into the world of Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality. Developed by WIMO Games in cahoots with the big dogs at Hasbro, this isn’t just any game – it’s a trip down memory lane with a high-tech twist. Available now for Meta Quest 2 & 3 and SteamVR, this game is all about bringing those tiny toy cars and trucks from your childhood into the futuristic world of VR gaming.
Defying Gravity With Insane Tracks
Physics? What Physics? Ever dreamed of designing race tracks that laugh in the face of gravity? Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem lets you do just that. Create outrageous loop-de-loops, launch cars into epic jumps, and smash through wild setpieces. And the best part? Zero mess to clean up after all that fun destruction.
VR and Mixed Reality Magic: The game’s VR controls are a breeze to use. Whether you’re crafting tracks in a pure virtual world or bringing them into your living room with Mixed Reality, the possibilities are endless. Imagine racing cars across your kitchen table, dodging pool cues, and zipping around your snoozing cat. You can even send cars zipping through portals from one room to another!
Campaign Mode: Build, Race, Destroy
Mission-Based Mayhem: In the campaign mode, it’s not just about racing. Each level throws a new challenge your way. Whether it’s clocking the fastest time, earning stunt points, or causing mega destruction, there’s always a fresh mission to tackle.
Choose Your Champion: Picking the right car for the job is key. That sleek speedster might be fast, but can it compete with the sheer destructive power of a monster truck? Each completed mission unlocks new cars and parts, so you can keep upgrading for faster, flashier, and more destructive races.
