Experience Mixed Reality Dogfights in Your Living Room with ‘Alex and the Jets’ Next Month

HOOP-O Studios, a fresh face in the indie game scene, is all set to introduce its innovative mixed reality creation, “Alex and the Jets,” to the Quest 3 lineup next month.

This title offers an engaging, laid-back arcade flying adventure where players steer Alex the Squirrel, cruising through the skies in a mini fixed-wing propeller aircraft. The thrill of the game lies in fending off adversaries from ‘The Jets’ gang, who swoop in through dimensional portals in your surroundings. It’s all about outmaneuvering them while darting through donut-shaped rings that grant handy power-ups and vital health boosts.

If you’re looking for a more relaxed experience, the game includes a free roam mode. This feature lets you zip around in your own space without the pressure of combat. With local leaderboards, players can keep tabs on their scores, and a cosmetics store will offer customization options for Alex, allowing you to unlock a range of stylish looks.

One exciting tidbit from HOOP-O is that the gameplay footage shared in the trailer is captured directly from the headset’s camera, proving just how seamlessly integrated this experience will be.

While the official release date for “Alex and the Jets” hasn’t been nailed down yet, HOOP-O is aiming for a launch on the Horizon Store this April. The game will be available on both Quest 3 and Quest 3S, giving more players the chance to dive into this imaginative airborne adventure.
