Thank you to #ZonaTheGamers for their review of Little Critters!

"Highly recommended title... Its originality stands out within the Meta Quest catalog. Its ability to surprise creates memorable moments. Home defense has never been so fun or so physical."⭐️

Wow! ♥️

"Little Critters does many things right. It minds the little details. The game is frenetic, accessible, and fun. And it just works, in the way Steve Jobs famously described the magic of early iPhone devices… this “tower defense” game brings the tower home."
Little Critters delivers an accessible tower defense game in mixed reality today on Quest 3 and 3S.

Little Critters is a mixed reality tower defense-style game that surprised me! With fun gadgets, hilarious floor-smacking moments, and charming critters, it’s one of the better MR games I’ve played. Here’s my full review on Meta Quest!

Have you ever wondered how Space Quest 3 would have looked if Sierra had used their earlier AGI engine instead of their later SCI engine? Possibly a bit like this!
