Gameplay Mechanics & Systems
Innovations Head tracking targeting - both locking on and unlocked Head tracking ordering your minion. Fixed follow camera view minimizes motion sickness for a great VR top down view experience. (Out of testing with 10 or so people.) Attempted Graphics Optimization: Only rendering close objects(instead of geometry) in stereo (Did not make the cut due to a confirmed Unity 5 bug - https://forums.oculus.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=22762 )
Controls Moga Pro Controller Gamepad (Xbox360 supported):

Hints You can target the wings on the Dragon. If you deal enough damage to it you will injure its wings so it can no longer fly. The dragon may be a lot easier to deal with on the ground.
Ancient tales tell of a complicated ritual where you have to move up and down and left and right a lot. Performing this sacred dance is supposed to unlock the powers of the universe.
