Experience Mixed Reality Dogfights in Your Living Room with ‘Alex and the Jets’ Next Month

HOOP-O Studios, a fresh face in the indie game scene with a focus on mixed reality experiences, has exciting news for gaming enthusiasts. Their latest project, “Alex and the Jets,” is getting ready to soar onto Quest 3 devices next month.

In this charming arcade-style flying adventure, you step into the paw prints of Alex the Squirrel, piloting a quaint little propeller plane. The action kicks off as enemies from the mischievous gang, ‘The Jets,’ burst through portals that appear on your very own walls. Your mission? Take them out while skillfully navigating through donut-shaped goals that sprinkle the sky, offering handy weapon upgrades and health boosts along the way.

But that’s not all! When you’re in the mood for a laid-back experience, the game offers a stress-free free roam mode. Here, you can zip around your room at your own pace. Plus, there are local leaderboards to keep track of your records and a store brimming with cosmetic options to give Alex a fresh look.

One particularly intriguing tidbit—HOOP-O assures us that the gameplay footage in their trailer was captured directly on-device using the headset’s camera, which suggests they’re confident in the system’s capabilities.

While we’re still waiting for an official release date, HOOP-O Studios is aiming for a launch on the Horizon Store this April, making the game available for both Quest 3 and Quest 3S users.
