Our take on Squishies
Its defining mechanic is direct VR manipulation: players push and pull the creatures through each maze rather than controlling a conventional avatar.
What is Squishies?
Squishies is a VR puzzle platformer about guiding small creatures through mazes across five alien worlds.
Players use motion controls to push and pull the Squishies, helping them climb slopes, jump, fly, and teleport by fish while avoiding hazards. The game contains 100 levels with crystals to collect, medals to earn, timed challenges, and hidden eggs to find. A level editor uses the same tools used to create the main game. The story follows a rescue mission after an alien invasion leaves Squishies stranded across their universe. Valve Index is supported, although its control scheme is not fully mapped. Community level sharing is currently unavailable because the external service has stopped operating.
