Forest Wanderer VR

experimental mobile, desktop, and meta quest 3 vr game. Catch (move into same space) an animal to make them it, then run, as animals will try to catch you. Keep your food up or your running will slow down. Drink water or you end.

This project was built with Lovable.

How to Play

• Goal: Catch an animal by moving into its space — that animal becomes “it.” Then run, because “it” animals chase you.
• Stay not-it as long as you can. Your current streak and best streak show below the carrot count.
• Food (carrots): Carrots grow on the ground. Walk over one to add it to your backpack. Tap Eat (or press the eat control) to consume one and raise your food level.
  • Food above 75% → you run faster than the animals.
  • Food between 25–75% → you run at the same speed as the animals.
  • Food below 25% → you run slower than the animals.
  • Food hits 0 → game over.
• Water: Water slowly drains as you explore. Step into the stream or any pond to drink and refill it.
  • Water hits 0 → game over.
• “It” animals: They glow, blink on the minimap, grow to double size, and chase you. If an “it” animal catches you, it turns teal and celebrates — then you become “it” again and all animals flee.
• Minimap: Shows mountains, water, trees, and your location. Areas reveal as you explore (fog of war). Animals appear in explored areas; “it” animals blink red. The distance to the nearest “it” animal is shown at the bottom.
• Tips: Keep food up to run faster. Stop in water to drink.

• Desktop: WASD / arrow keys to move, mouse to look, right-click to toggle instructions.
• Mobile (iPhone/touch): On-screen movement dial and buttons.
