STRIKER (OVR)
A downloadable game for Android
Welcome! This is a small student project I've been working on for the Oculus Quest.
STRIKER is a survival game where players must survive as long as possible in a dark arena surrounded by invisible walls with a bouncing orb that targets the player and destroys all it touches.
Every 30 seconds a new round will begin and a new hostile will enter the arena. Players can use the aggressive targeting of the orb to their advantage by getting it to indirectly collide with enemies.
In its current version, the game lasts 3 rounds and there are 3 kinds of enemies you can encounter.
!!! HEADS UP !!!
It's recommended players are comfortable with moving in a virtual reality headset using a joystick. Your in-game movement is on the slower side but I don't want any of ya'll getting motion sickness.
Also this game is somewhat flashy, moving bright colors and such. Those with photosensitive epilepsy are asked to avoid this game for their safety. Keep those eyes happy ( :
!!! THANKS !!!
For those who play this make sure to leave me some feedback! This is my first time uploading something and I'm looking to get better at making my stuff. So don't hesitate to nitpick if you have criticisms.
Also, let me know if you find any bugs. I do intend to update this in the future and add more content including more movement options and some color and effect's scalers.
I want to make games anyone can enjoy so I hope you revisit my page in the future to check out some other stuff I'll be posting.
Hope to see you again!

Install instructions
After you've downloaded the APK file and put it somewhere you can find it, you'll need to sideload the game onto your Quest, either with Sidequest or ADB. If you don't know how to do that, I've provided a brief how-to below.
Method 1 (Recommended): Sidequest
- Follow this guide to install Sidequest on your PC
- With your quest connected, click on the 'install APK from folder' button at the top of the window.
(It's the one with the red circle around it) - Find the APK file for the game, and install it.
Method 2: ADB
- Follow this guide to set up ADB on your PC
- Open a command line and navigate to the folder where you installed ADB
- Make sure your device is connected and recognised by your computer, you can do so by running the command "adb devices" without the quotes, if everything is working you should see a list of connected devices.
- Run the command "adb install <apk-path>". Replace <apk-path> with the file path to the apk file. For example, "adb install C:\Users\Name\Downloads\game.apk"
- TIP: If you've already installed this game to your headset and would like to update it to the most recent version, please instead use the command "adb install -r <apk-path>". By adding the -r option you can override the old version of the game.

I downloaded and tried to play the game on my Oculus Quest. The grip didn't seem to be working but pressing X or A did seem to at least confirm the menus.
What are the controls?
Hello! Thanks for checking this out :D This is my first time hearing about the gripping issue. Is the animation just not playing properly no matter if the right-hand trigger is pressed?
(A) on the right-hand controller is the correct input for all menus as long as you point with the same hand. Please let me know if menus aren't transitioning properly as well.
As far as gameplay controls go:
You can move around using the left-hand joysticks, while the right-hand joysticks can be used for snap left and right rotation in case you're sitting down and don't want to move your head too much!
In-game there's this glowing cube that bounces around the room that you usually want to avoid. It can destroy you and your enemies, so if you're being chased you can do a quick pull on the cube and get out of the way so it hits the enemies behind you. To do this you gotta point at the cube till you see this red reticle pop up and press the right index trigger.
Sorry about the wall of text, I should've had the controls explained in-game, so also sorry about the inconvenience of having to read a response to get them.
Thank you again for checking this page out, it's pretty hard getting any attention without an established following!
Also feel free to tell me about any more issues you encounter and overall feedback for the game, it helps a million (:
