A family friendly room scale puzzle game that I am sorry to see has been delisted. For what its worth , it works well with the Valve Index 7/10 would make cute bears wet again.

While the game might be somewhat aimed at kids (IT HAS A HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FOR SMALLER PERSONS!) the puzzles are satisfying to solve, and get challenging, The game consists of 4 "puzzle packs" and each one has its challenge packs. Each pack has increased difficulty by adding a different mechanic. The puzzles you need to connect pipes and get colored water to the color of your water bears. At first its Red Yellow...

Adorable and fun! After all the scary and intense VR games out there, this is the perfect game to unwind with! The Waterbears are so cute you can spend hours just tickling their bellies and playing with them! The puzzles get more challenging as you go and its fun to build the pipes like legos. I only wish there were more levels to play! Fun for all ages and even the most manly man won't be able to resist this much...

Great game for kids! My four year old likes doing all the puzzles even though some are a little hard for her.

Don't take this game for face value -- what seems like a childish puzzle game is really one of the most charming games that the HTC Vive has to offer. Being able to try the development version when touring Schell Games last November is what convinced me that the Vive was worth buying. Water Bears takes a classic puzzle game and turns it into an incredible experience. The relaxing atmosphere and music combined with...

Fun and enjoyable 3D puzzle game. It is a great game for kids, but older ages can enjoy it also. It starts very easy, but it builds in complexity.

It's a nice little game, but terribly short. I got to 100% completion in 3 hours. Given that you're unlikely to see more than a few hours out of the game, it's hard to recommend unless it's heavily discounted, or part of a bundle. It's also really easy. It's about 50% tutorial puzzles, 40% super-easy puzzles that just require the obvious application of the tools you've learned, and about 10% puzzles that require...

When writing this I have just finished the last challenge levels, 100% completion. I have to say this was the first VR game among the 40+ I had that I really wanted to come back to and finish. In total it took 1.8 hours more or less, it includes some short demo time for friends. Difficulty: The game itself is quite varied and goes from super simple to mind twistingly hard at the final challenge levels. VR...

Water Bears VR is a polished and easy to get into VR game. The VR environment is wonderfully bright and colorful, don't let the cartoony-style fool you, this game is immersive. The puzzles are fun and there are enough things to warrant the $9.99 USD. The game most closely resembles Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker in terms of the action being centered around a winding blocky mountain you have to traverse around. With...

So I've actually played this on my HTC Vive and can confirm that it's charming and delightful in every way. It's one of the most polished real games for the Vive at this time. While it won't resonate with the typical Steam user, your girlfriends, wives, and moms will enjoy this game. Makes for a great soft friendly intro to VR.
