I was hoping for some form of stick turning as I was recording with a green screen and could not natural turn, so had to play it offline.
When I did play it, I should preface this with the fact that I SUCK at this movement system. So I struggled to get into the gameplay, but that's more a skill issue than anything you do. lol
It did lead to a big feeling of success when I actually wrecked camp though. I won't tell you how many attempts it took me. It's embarassing.
Not my preferred style of movement, but well done nonetheless.

Sorry I get an error when trying to install from Sidequest. I updated but this didn't help. I got this error with several other entries.
I normally really suck at Gorilla Tag like movement, but it's actually pretty easy in this one!
Like many others, I failed to destroy anything. Did you have a high hit count on it? I could tell that I was doing damage from audio cues, so great work there. Maybe a health bar could have helped further indicate some feedback of progress being made.
The little campers were pretty cute and I appreciated them tracking me down when I got near by.
VR wise, respawning could be a bit jarring. You might want to consider using a fade to black and then fading the player back in once they've teleported back to spawn.
A little more sound for ambience could also help breath a little more life into the scene. Make it feel like I'm in the forest with ambient nature sounds or if you want us to feel like a rampaging bear... heavy metal? lol
It's a great entry and I love your take on making us a bear ruining a bunch of campers day.
I'd love to see what you cook up for the Halloween Jam if you can make it! Cheers!
I like the idea, but I think it lacks a bit in the implementation of it. I tried quite a lot of times, but I just couldn't destroy the tents and get passed the campers.
I think it would've helped to have the player pushed along and keep the momentum as it was quite difficult to gather enough speed to cover ground (or maybe I can playing it wrong?). I have played I am Cat, so I'm used to that mechanic but this game seemed more tricky to get around.
Overall though, the game looks great and the idea/concept is really good - but like I say, I think the controls let it down a bit.
I had the same impression as Allen. I thought it was a very novel idea and concept with the player being the bear and smashing the tents and fires. I couldn't actually get some of the tents destroyed but I was able to put out the fire. Maybe even having the tents/fire being easier to destroy with like just one or two smacks and then allowing the campers to erect new tents which you also have to smash might improve the frenzy of the game. The campers with the axes were very cute!
