I've never got into streaming myself but I do think the spectator mode would be appreciated for making player actions clearer. Will you add a 'best guess' of the player's torso position/rotation? I thought that worked well in Fantastic Contraption and Sword Master VR, maybe a floating vest would be appropriate for Eye of the Temple.

I get what you mean about not being able to figure out exactly where the player is standing. It's probably best to keep the safe-zone lenient to prevent irritating edge cases. As you said, there's more to worry about than staying on the current block.

It occurs to me I haven't tried the speed run mode, I should give that a go and try not to trip and hurt myself. :D

The game is good fun so far, I like the wobbly feeling when I barely make my step to the next block. Dodging the traps and evading the temple guardians keeps me on my toes as well. The possible issues I noticed are pretty minor, here goes:

Maybe this is still being tweaked, but it seems like the player has a lot of leeway about how far they can stand from the blocks before falling. Perhaps it would be too frustrating if it was more strict though, I'm not sure.

The ride along the temple rooftop is a nice relaxation period after escaping outside but it seems just a bit long. Could the player have more to look at? (maybe their current stats or just some scenery) Or the ride could just be faster.

I'm noticing bright pixels where the walls and floors meet. It's noticeable in darker areas, perhaps they are seams where the sky is getting through or just a lighting or shader artifact? They resemble aliasing edges but are a bit more like scattered dots.

The torch light cuts out here and there, it's particularly visible in some of the side paths with spikes. It seems to just turn off for a split second leaving the environment pitch black. Maybe its not the torch light itself causing the issue but I remember a few points where everything went black.

Great job on the game so far, I can't wait to see what else you add!

Hi there! I'm always excited to try out unique VR experiences and Eye of the Temple looks very promising. If you are still looking for testers I would be happy to give you feedback. I enjoyed Chrysalis Pyramid by the way, it's great to see someone experimenting with platforming in VR. I'm @thetrakynia on Twitter if you want to get in touch. Good luck with the project!
