Resolution Games Acquires Zero Tech, the Team Behind Carly and the Reaperman Quest Port

Resolution Games already has an expansive library of virtual reality (VR) content, most recently revealing its next multiplayer title Ultimechs. But the studio wants to accelerate this growth, announcing this week the acquisition of Zero Tech, the Swedish videogame studio that helped port co-op adventure Carly and the Reaperman to Oculus Quest earlier this year.

The acquisition will see Zero Tech rebranded as Resolution Tech with a look to expand the current four-member team.

“The Zero Index team has a number of impressive accomplishments under their belt, including their exemplary work that helped us bring Carly and the Reaperman to Oculus Quest earlier this year,” said Tommy Palm, CEO and founder of Resolution Games in a statement. “Demand for great VR and AR experiences is growing at an exponential rate. With more hardware choices than ever in the pipeline from tech’s biggest players, having a team experienced in bringing games to different markets and platforms will help us continue to reach new players everywhere they choose to play.”

In addition to the acquisition has expanded its own team with four new hires. Natalie Mellin is Resolution Games’ new Head of People & Culture, Ebba Waltré has joined as General Counsel to lead the company’s legal strategy around future growth; Johan Gästrin will be heading up the company’s Shared Technology (Fidelity) and Game Production IT as Product Manager, whilst Rickard Åstrand has been appointed as Resolution Games’ Finance Director.

“At Resolution Games, we are craftspeople who live and breathe games and love what we do,” added Palm. “We’ve been very fortunate to bring such incredible talent into the company, all while striving for everyone to be genuinely happy to work at Resolution Games and feel that our output is a direct reflection of the success of this goal. With the continued enthusiasm we’re seeing from players, there’s been no shortage of opportunity to continue our team’s growth, and we are looking forward to doing that in a way that continues along the path toward this goal.”

This continues an exciting month for Resolution Games. As mentioned, Ultimechs was unveiled last week, a futuristic sports experience coming to VR platforms in 2022. The VR Awards also named Demeo VR Game of the Year. As Resolution Games continues to expand, VRFocus will keep you updated.

Carly And The Reaperman Review – VR’s Best Asymmetrical Co-Op Overcomes Its Scrappy Side

Carly and the Reaperman’s winning central mechanic is bolstered by great level design and versatile options, helping you overlook its scrappier side. More in our Carly and the Reaperman review!

Even when it originally released in 2018, Carly and the Reaperman’s ideas weren’t especially new. We’ve seen a lot of takes on asymmetrical co-op in VR, but it’s also true that many of those other attempts were purely experimental and didn’t offer much past their novel core mechanics. Odd Raven’s VR debut was the first to really flesh the concept out into a full game and, even three years on, it’s still quite capably the best of the bunch.

Now launching on Oculus Quest, Carly and the Reaperman is essentially a third-person platformer in which one player controls Carly — a young girl taking a trip to the Underworld — while the other embodies her newfound and decidedly much more morbid friend, the Reaperman. The latter helps the former by picking up blocks, torches or using switches to make or reveal new paths Carly can navigate to reach higher areas or cross chasms as you delve deeper into this strangely melancholic take on the afterlife.

Carly and the Reaperman Review – The Facts

What is it?: An asymmetrical VR co-op platformer in which one player guides a character through levels and another assists as a giant that moves and creates paths
Platforms: Quest, PC VR, PSVR
Release Date: Out Now
Price: $19.99

Again, it’s an instantly likable concept that we’ve often seen pitched in Kickstarter campaigns or sampled in SteamVR demos, but the strength of the idea often outpaces the given game’s design. That’s not the case here – Carly and the Reaperman’s core campaign is spread out across eight sets of levels that steadily alternate between introducing new ideas and iterating on older ones to challenge you in new ways. The expectedly gentle opening that has the Reaperman stacking blocks soon gives way to much more fiendish concepts like platforms that only activate when the Reaperman’s hand is over them, blocks that disappear after a short amount of time, or pitch black passages that the Reaperman illuminates with a torch.

Variety keeps the campaign on its toes – along with traditional brick-building you’re sometimes racing to the finish against an ever-approaching wall of death and you’re sometimes solving puzzles together. Odd Raven has plenty of twists to keep the concept going, and Carly and the Reaperman never really outstays its welcome in the main campaign, which will take a determined player around four or five hours to see through. This being a platformer, though, levels are stacked with hidden challenges and extra collectibles that unlock hidden areas, meaning this could easily take completionists up to the seven or eight hour mark and beyond.

Sometimes the game can ask a little too much from you with the limited precision VR affords. Stacking blocks several storeys high is less enjoyable when an enemy pushes them out of the way on their set path. But it’s testament to how much freedom Carly and the Reaperman gives you that, in almost any given challenge, you can brute force your way through if you want. At one point the game hints that Carly needs to fall through a laser grid at the same time as a block to prevent the beams hitting her. The timing is ludicrously tight, so instead I just build a longer path over the top of the beams and have her jump over to the other side safely.

When it all works, then, the game is brilliantly collaborative and a real treat to tackle with a friend. Kudos, too, to how many options it gives you; while the Reaperman has to be controlled in VR, Carly can be operated either from another Oculus Quest or with a free game client to play on PC. You can even play the entire game in single-player should you so choose, moving the hands on the Reaperman but controlling Carly with the Touch’s analog sticks. It can be complicated in tense moments but I actually played three of the worlds like this and was surprised at how well it worked.

These mounting positives really help you to overlook the game’s scrappier side, which includes a cluster of rougher edges. When playing in co-op as the Reaperman, for example, I often saw Carly glide across surfaces when she was meant to be standing still or even stutter in her movement, while I didn’t detect anything like that when roles were reversed. She can feel a little sluggish to control too, though playing in VR certainly helps when it comes to depth perception with jumps etc.

The VR aspect does require constant, irritating admin, though. No matter where you play as Carly, it’s easy for the VR player’s big head to block the camera view, and navigating your camera around levels is done by grabbing the air and pulling yourself forward. It’s comfortable, yes, but also sluggish and fatiguing; it’d be great if there were options to navigate with the analog sticks instead.

Carly and the Reaperman Review Final Impressions

I went into Carly and the Reaperman expecting a novel take on VR co-op that would stretch thin fast. It was a huge relief, then, to discover a wonderfully inventive campaign with plenty of fresh ideas peppered across several hours of thoroughly entertaining co-op. The game is unquestionably on the scrappier side, with some difficulty spikes, bugs and administration issues that could do with cleaning up but, when it comes to asymmetrical VR multiplayer, this is easily the best of the bunch.

Carly and the Reaperman Out Now for Oculus Quest

Back in 2018 Odd Raven Studios released its co-op adventure Carly and the Reaperman for PlayStation VR and PC VR headsets, providing asymmetrical gameplay for two players. Today, Oculus Quest owners can join in the fun, with Carly and the Reaperman now available on the Oculus Store.

As an asymmetrical co-op one player takes the role of Carly whilst the other plays the overseeing Reaperman, either between two Oculus Quest’s or one on Quest (Reaperman) whilst a friend plays on PC. To aid that cross-play dynamic, a free version for PC or Mac is available here. They both then have to work together to overcome environmental puzzles, with Carly running and jumping through levels whilst the Reaperman can manipulate the environment to unlock new paths.

And just in case no one’s about to play the secondary role, Odd Raven Studios has included a single-player mode for just such an occasion, where you play both roles.

“At Resolution Games, we are always listening to the community and noticed a lack of cooperative games for Quest,” explained Tommy Palm, CEO of Resolution Games in a statement. “So being able to work with Odd Raven Studios to publish Carly and the Reaperman for Quest platforms is a positive step for the VR community and speaks to the expanding market the industry caters to. And with the free PC/Mac app, Quest users can play as the Reaperman and invite their non-VR friends to play from a PC or Mac as Carly for remote or couch co-op gameplay.”

“We are very excited to work with Resolution Games to release a Quest version of Carly and the Reaperman and to launch it alongside a free PC/Mac app that lets anyone – even without a VR headset – join and play a VR game,” said Johan Högfeldt, CTO of Odd Raven Studios. “We always envisioned Carly and the Reaperman to be a gateway into VR, and now that is more true than ever.”

Resolution Games is the publisher behind Carly and the Reaperman for Oculus Quest and its got a VR title of its own coming soon. Turn-based dungeon crawler Demeo is set for launch in May for Oculus Quest and PC VR headsets. As further details are released, VRFocus will let you know.

New VR Games April 2021: All The Biggest Releases

Looking for all the best new VR games in April 2021? We’ve got you covered.

It’s been a pretty slow start to the year for VR content, but April promises to change all that. Make sure to keep track of our reviews page where we’ll be bringing you impressions of all the latest content.

New VR Games April 2021

Hand Physics Lab (April 1st) – Holonautic, Quest

After a long stint on SideQuest this set of unique minigames and technical demonstrations for Oculus Quest hand-tracking is getting an official release. It’s not a game as such, but there are 80 different experiences to showcase the tech, and it all work with Touch controllers too.

Floor Plan 2 (April 1st) – Turbo Button, Quest, PC VR

Turbo Button returns with a follow-up to its eccentric VR puzzler. In Floor Plan 2 you travel between worlds using an elevator, solving puzzles in crazy environments. Turbo Button is promising a much bigger game this time around with fully explorable levels. Expect a PSVR version later down the line.

Starcaller – (April 2nd) – Monarch Studio, PC VR

Unique puzzles, accessible gameplay and fantastical visuals await you in Starcaller, a PC VR puzzler that’s built around immersive VR interactions. There’s over 30 different puzzles and three difficulty levels to master.

Traffic Jams (April 8th) – Little Chicken, Quest, PC VR

Little Chicken’s zany VR puzzler finally gets the green light. In Traffic Jams you need to control the flow of traffic without causing any unfortunate mishaps. With a full campaign and a party mode for up to four non-VR players, we’re hoping Traffic Jams is one that will keep us busy for hours to come.

Swarm (April 8th) – Greensky Games, Quest

Another active VR game that wants to emulate the feeling of swinging, Swarm is an arcade inspired shooter in which you swoop through arena-style levels. Developer Greensky Games says it’s a comfortable experience but, as always, we’ll need to put that to the test for ourselves.

Alvo (April 12th) – PSVR

It’s been a while since PSVR has had a big multiplayer game. Alvo hopes to fill the void with a modern military setting and support for the PSVR Aim controller. PC and Quest versions are also due a little later down the line, and take note that this release date could slip.

Carly and the Reaperman (April 15th) – Odd Raven Studios, Quest

A local co-op platformer gets a Quest version published by Resolution Games. Carly and the Reaperman used to work by having one player in VR, guiding a flatscreen player through levels. The game is the same inside Quest, except now both users will be wearing Quests. We’ll be eager to see how it holds up.

Maskmaker (April 20th) – Innerspace VR, PC VR, PSVR

The developers of A Fisherman’s Tale are back with a brand new puzzling adventure. In Maskmaker, you craft and wear masks that transport you to different worlds. Some light Metroidvania elements and a deep focus on the process of making masks suggest Innerspace is making its biggest VR game yet.

Argil (April 21st) – Valkyrie Industries, PC VR

A new VR sculpting software that comes with all the tools to let users make 3D models. It features tools for both professionals and those only just starting out in VR modelling. You can export your creations for 3D printing too.

Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife (April 22nd) – Fast Travel Games, Quest, Rift

Fast Travel Games is back with its latest effort, a VR horror game set in the World of Darkness universe. In Wraith, you step into the afterlife and explore the haunted halls of Barclay Mansion, investigating the mysterious circumstances of your death.

Star Wars Pinball (April 29th) – Zen Studios, Quest, PC VR

Zen’s tried and true pinball games get the Star Wars treatment… in VR. Star Wars Pinball features tables from across the entire Star Wars saga, including The Mandalorian.

So that’s the new VR games April 2021 list. What are you going to be picking up? Let us know in the comments below!

‘Carly and the Reaperman’ Launches with Quest-to-Quest & Quest-to-PC Asymmetric Co-op

Asymmetric co-op VR games—where each user plays a wholly different gameplay role—are a rare breed. Fortunately, the well regarded Carly and the Reaperman has launched on Quest and brings with it more ways to play with friends.

Update (April 16th, 2021): Carly and the Reaperman has launched on Quest, priced at $20. This is the first version of the game with support for online co-op, either between two Quest headsets or between Quest and PC or Mac.

Prior versions of the game (on Oculus PC, Steam, and PSVR) are unfortunately stuck with the original co-op model which is restricted to being played between the headset and the local host device (PC or console).

The original article, announcing the game’s release date, continues below with the addition of the Quest launch trailer.

Originally released back in 2018 for PC VR headsets, and eventually PSVR, Carly and the Reaperman is an asymmetric cooperative VR game where one player acts as an overseer which can manipulate the environment with their hands in order to help the other player traverse the environment as a smaller character with traditional platformer controls.

The structure is very similar to Moss (2018), except two players work together instead of one player controlling both roles. The launch trailer shows the core gameplay:

While prior versions of Carly and the Reaperman had one player in a headset and the other player on a flat screen, the Quest version will apparently have both players in the headset. It seems too that this means the game will be built around online co-op, whereas the original version was built for local co-op.

Carly and the Reaperman has been well received on prior platforms, though it didn’t garner too much popularity, perhaps in part because of the lack of online co-op. On Steam the game holds a ‘Very Positive’ 94% from 110 reviews and a 4.3 out of 5 from 31 reviews on Oculus PC.

The Quest version of Carly and the Reaperman is set for an April 15th release date, priced at $20. Cross-buy hasn’t been confirmed, but we’ve reached out to the developer for comment.

Though designed as a co-op experience, the game’s store page indicates that co-op is optional, so those without a headset-owning friend will still be able to enjoy the game if they please.

There’s no word yet if the game will support cross-play with other headsets, though we’d suspect not considering the game’s age, and that it would require that other versions of the game be updated to include integrated online support.

Co-Op VR Platformer Carly And The Reaperman Hits Quest In April

Carly and the Reaperman, the cooperative VR platformer from Odd Raven Studios, is arriving on on Oculus Quest April 15th.

The news was confirmed over on Twitter this week. Carly and the Reaperman first came to PC VR and PSVR platforms in 2018 but, in late 2020, Cook-Out developer Resolution Games announced that it would be publishing a Quest port of the experience. The game’s now available to wishlist in the Coming Soon section of the Oculus Quest store. Check out a trailer for an older version of the game below.

The game requires two players. One will take control of Carly, a recently-deceased girl that finds herself in the world of spirits. She’s controlled from a third-person perspective and plays like a traditional platformer, jumping over obstacles etc. The other player, meanwhile, utilizes VR controls as the Reaperman, who can pick up platforms and help taxi Carly to her goal, or solve puzzles to unlock pathways.

On PC and PSVR, Carly and the Reaperman saw players use a flat screen to control Carly and jump into VR for the Reaperman via the same system. On Quest, however, the game requires two headsets, meaning the player controlling Carly will be in VR too. We’ll definitely be interested to see how this changes up the experience.

April is quickly stacking up for Quest releases – the month kicks off with the launch of Floor Plan 2 and will also see the arrival of Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife and a VR version of Star Wars pinball. What are you going to be picking up? Let us know in the comments below!

Resolution Games Will Publish Carly And The Reaperman On Oculus Quest In 2021

Resolution Games is planning to bring Carly and the Reaperman to Oculus Quest in 2021 from Odd Raven Studio.

The game originally released in 2018 on Steam with asymmetrical cooperative play that sees you try to escape the underworld with a giant Reaperman picking up platforms as “the little girl Carly jumps on top of the platforms that the Reaperman places. You can either control both characters by yourself, or grab a friend to play with,” according to the developer. The title carries very positive reviews on Steam and seems to be a pretty solid fit with Resolution’s multiplayer party games already available on Quest, like Cook-Out: A Sandwich Tale and Acron: Attack of the Squirrels.

The agreement to work together and port the game to Oculus Quest and Quest 2 for the first time marks a major move for Resolution Games. The company hints that this is likely the first of many such publishing partnerships after successfully launching six games to Oculus Quest already. That’s no easy feat considering Facebook’s tight curation system and a press release from Resolution Games announcing the move says the studio now has a headcount of more than 70 people with 12 titles total in its portfolio.

We’ll be curious to see how the asymmetrical gameplay on Oculus Quest works. Resolution’s existing game Acron features a player in VR fighting over acorns with little squirrels who play the game from phones or tablets. Its a pretty fun dynamic and there’s not a whole lot else like it in VR. We’d love to see details on how exactly Carly and the Reaperman’s cooperative play will work on Oculus Quest — or what devices might be supported for that mode — but Resolution isn’t sharing that yet.

You can check out the original trailer for the game below and find it on Steam:

Carly and the Reaperman to get a Physical PlayStation VR Launch in March

There are some great local social videogames for virtual reality (VR) headsets such as Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Acron: Attack of the Squirrels and The Angry Birds Movie 2: VR Under Pressure. Also part of this group is Carly and the Reaperman – Escape from the Underworld which originally launched on Steam back in 2018 before a PlayStation VR arrival in late 2019. Today, developer Odd Raven Studios and publisher Perp Games have announced that the title will also get a physical release, currently scheduled for March.

Offering both single-player and co-op multiplayer gameplay, Carly and the Reaperman is a puzzle-solving adventure where you play as Carly, helped along the way by the titular Reaperman (that giant floating skull).

The idea is to escape the nefarious Underworld, with 50 platforming levels to complete. Whoever players as the Reaperman will don the PlayStation VR, tasked with placing platforms and manoeuvring blocks to enable Carly to pass. While the player in control of Carly has the TV screen to themselves.

The whole experience is designed with teamwork and communication in mind, relying on each others abilities for success. As a bonus, players will be able to unlock various hats and other items to mix up the gameplay aesthetic.

Of the announcement Johan Högfeldt, CEO and Lead Developer of Odd Raven Studios, comment in a statement: “Doing a physical release of Carly and the Reaperman is truly a childhood dream come true! If you add the fact that we are doing it with Perp Games, who have a long and successful history of launching VR games on the physical market, we couldn’t be happier. We hope that this will allow more people to discover the magic of sharing a VR adventure with someone else.”

Loving the emphasis on co-op gameplay Rob Edwards, Managing Director of Perp Games said: “Working together to solve puzzles, with increasing difficulty and new challenges emerging, Carly and the Reaperman is an exciting example of how effective co-operative gaming can be in Virtual Reality, and we’re delighted to be working with Odd Raven on their groundbreaking debut title.”

Odd Raven Studios and Perp Games will be releasing the physical version of Carly and the Reaperman into European stores on 6th March for PlayStation VR. For further updates on the title keep reading VRFocus.
