SONIC VR Prototype
A downloadable game for Windows
Sonic in VR!
Welcome to the Green Hill VR Demo
The VR locomotion system uses head tracking to allow you to physically 'run' through the game.
BE THE HEDGEHOG!
This game is a full rebuild of the first level of the original Sonic The Hedgehog for Megadrive.
The movement system allows you to physically walk, jog, run and jump within the game, I first released a Mario Bros game with it, now I've adapted it for Sonic!
- The original Green Hill Zone Act 1, built from scratch for VR.
- The ability to physically run as sonic.
- No harnesses. No restrictions. No giant omni-directional Treadmill!
- You can Jump, you can Spin, you can collect Golden Rings... It's perfect :P
- The best version of Nostalgia.
Game now running both SteamVR and Oculus!
Use DOWN on the Right Hand Touchpad to jump in Vive Mode
I'm constantly looking for ways to better this system so I will try to expand and implement any suggestions from the comments!
Try it and see how it feels!

Download
Install instructions
Unzip and Run!
Be sure to have your Oculus turned on and a game controller connected, Check the controls in the Unity Settings window that pops up first.
Read the in game signs or see the gameplay video if your stuck on how to play!
IMPORTANT CONTROLS!
- Look at all the instructions in the Walk-O-Motion Setup Zone before playing.
You WON'T figure it out by yourself. - Give a close measurement of your standing height, it doesn't need to be exact, after resetting the floor should be at the right height.
- To Jump hold the Jump button, then hop, it doesn't need to be high, just quick upwards motion, you don't even need to get off the ground, I suggest you don't in fact!
- Remember you can manually turn using the right hand analogue/touchpad.
If you have full 360 tracking you won't need to.

im gonna be real man, that was an exausting nightmare, maybe it's because im on the index but the jump barely registered and the constant jogging in place could have been done better with the joystick.
could you make an apk file version? that would be nice.
Seriously?🗿
really dude... it's PCVR.
Sounds like you are the amateur lol!
can anyone help i set my jump to somthing else by accident how do i change it back
This will probably never be on quest 2 because its copyrighted material
he can't just... do that... he wont come back to this. He's currently working on the hybrid VR presence system.
I really wanna play/try out this Sonic game. However, for whatever reason, I CANNOT use SteamVR (not only does the loading screen flicker like mad in DANGEROUS seizure-inducing amounts [seriously, no joke. Don't know why it does that], but SteamVR always crashes).
It's why I ALWAYS prefer using SideQuest. So please, do you think you can make this application APK?
(I tried just uploading SonicVR application in SideQuest, doesn't work).
I beg you! 🙏
I haven't tried the game yet but the game seems to use OpenXR so you can set Oculus Rift as your default OpenXR runtime and try that way.
I still have yet to play it so that may not work.
Hey NimSony! This game is super rad! quick question, how do I bind my Quest 2 controllers? the input config menu at boot doesn't seem to like detecting my controllers inputs. any help?
i have the same problem
i accidentally changed the controlls for vrjump and i can't change it back can someone help?
im on Oculus can someone tell me how play the game without pc
im also not trying to use sidequest either
and before someone asks no im not gonna use dev mode crap
pc only, bud
you can't. it's not his fault. just get a pc and connect your quest.
For anyone who think they can get by with Windows Mix Reality controllers (HP Reverb G2), it doesn't work and its not really clear why :(
Is there a apk download for oculus quest 2?
No. PCVR only. Just connect your Quest 1/2 to your pc and play that way.
How I change my profile picture
it keeps coming up with errors is there a way i can fix it?
YES but you will have to put the .exe back to the original folder and then run it there
is it multiple errors if so i cant help
I want to play it SO BAD!😰😰😰😰😓😓😓😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😥😥😓😓😭😭😢😢
I REALLY hope this is satire, and you aren't a 7 year-old among us VR kid.
how do I download this onto oculus quest 2! I downloaded the unity file and it did not DOWNLOAD!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
its pc only
yes it did if it did not try again it pc only i think
use airlink you need a pc for it
please. calm down, lil bro.
could you make a apk version too?
Because it looks like it could run natively on quest 2
This one was cute and fun, I enjoyed it - the music did cut off after a bit, but otherwise it was super cool seeing the world through a Sonic-view! :D
i have a sonic jam pls send your sonic game but it is ok if you dont want to lol my jam is called just a sonic jam
im on pc
you can play this on the quest if your pc doesnt have a usb-3 port buy a usb-2 link cable for your quest go into link mode and it will work
you can use it on quest
he's not just gonna port it to quest.
need help finding and playing game
As soon as I launched the .exe and reached what looked like the "how to play" section, the game started spinning in a circle. I had to take the headset off. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's something on my end, but I would really like to play this game.
BUG
can you make it a apk so i can download it on sidequest
he cant just do that.
Um it doesnt work on tablets does it? :(((
no you ideit its a vr game
you need a vr and a vr reddy pc
its... a vr game.
How do I access files in my Quest Two.
i tried it on my quest2 but the jumping is not playable
really good time, I ran hard and fast and i broke the sonic speed barrier
So, I don't know what happen or if this is even a thing anymore. I downloaded this and tried it on my Quest2, all it did was go around in circles and ever since then, I've had issues with my Quest2 and SteamVR. Everything was fine up to that point.
Man this is clumsy as hell, but a good workout! My only wish is for the jump button to just be a jump button rather than requiring you to time it with a physical movement while you're already using physical movement for locomotion. It's super awkward and makes jumping difficult enough to ruin the fun a tad. The jogging movement works great though, just had to realize that you need to move your head too and not just move your arms, like you actually need to put a hop in your step to get going. Good stuff, just want that jump button changed! 😁
Once I got my height right and enabled the vive setting, it worked great. I'm glad to see motion-based-locomotion progressing, and sonic is the perfect way to use it.
does it work with oculus quest?
yes with link/alvr/virtual desktop/air link
my game isnt working can u help
I AM WRONG, THIS IS S@@T
Can you play it on pc?
I want to play on my htc vive cosmos but I cannot jump, please guide me on how to configure my controllers please!
Everytime I try to install it, it crashes.
Is there someplace I could submit a crash log?
It's just a zipped game, there is no installer!
What actually happens when you run the game?
Show post...
I love this game well it's a fan game I will play it now
This game has so much potential for the Walk O motion. Like wow, I can't believe I don't need anything but to jog in place to move foward. That is absoutley amazing!
I'd love to try this out, but when i jump in, it makes me spin in circles for no reason @_@. Like if i was spinning in an office chair. I'm using an Oculus btw.
EDIT: Found out the reason. vJoy likes to mess with programs and throw in a joystick input for no reason. Just deleted that and the problem went away. Very cool game!
