Zero-G VR

Zero-G VR is a VR spaceflight game in which you play as an astronaut performing spacewalks away from a shuttle. You move only with an Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU), a jet-pack propulsion device that lets you navigate in zero gravity. The game has 16 levels across four modes, with normal and difficult challenge options.

Moving through space

The AMU uses jets of high-pressure gas to move you in a chosen direction. It is designed for precise flight control, maintaining position to within 0.03 meters and speed to within 0.009 meters per second. With no nearby objects to use as reference points, judging speed and distance in the vastness of space can be difficult. Planets, stars and asteroids can also be hard to judge by size: distant objects may seem close, while small debris may appear enormous.

Game modes

The 16 levels use random combinations of four modes:

• Rescue mode: Start in an Oxygen Station Cabin and reach the Space Shuttle Orbital Docking Cabin safely. The Chinese description also refers to finding the docking trajectory before your oxygen runs out.
• Tracking mode: When a space capsule is out of control, use your propulsion unit, speed and gravity to reach it. The Chinese description also mentions acceleration items and precise orbital alignment.
• Black hole mode: Follow a route while avoiding a black hole’s gravitational pull. Its force affects your movement, so you must use your suit’s thrusters to counter it and reach the space capsule.
• Rapid mode: Navigate through an asteroid field to reach the goal. Collect nitrogen bottles along the route to increase propulsion speed; the Chinese description also mentions oxygen bottles to extend your time outside the spacecraft.

Sound and setting

Music shifts from tense sounds during dark-space flight to softer music when you reach the safety of the space station.
