Push Square: "PieceFall may look like any other indie PlayStation 4 puzzler on the surface, but beneath its Tetromino blocks and lush three-dimensional play spaces, it harbours an interesting story. This is the latest project by Steel Minions, the Sheffield Hallam University-based studio designed to provide students with real-world game development experience. Long-time readers may recall our report on the academic outfit's previously published PlayStation title BounceBack, which launched as a PlayStation Mini – remember those? – almost three years ago. Its latest endeavour, however, is several orders of magnitude more ambitious – as studio manager and senior lecturer Dr. Jacob Habgood explained when we caught up with the team for a chat earlier in the month."
Piecefall VR is the VR-enabled version of (you guessed it) Piecefall, a student project that garnered critical acclaim a few years ago. It’s out now for Playstation VR with a budget price point – here’s the review.
The PlayStation Brahs:
“The puzzle genre can be challenging, rewarding, and sometimes it can be very relaxing. But when you can combine all three and bring that into Virtual Reality, that shows real determination. It just shows that with some dreams and hard work, anything is possible.”
The game Piece Fall has released on the 15th July and is entirely made by students from Sheffield Hallam University, who are still to graduate in November.
