There are some game that I feel like "This is for me", and THRIVE is one of those games that I was pretty sure I would have fun time with, unfortunately, a bug prevented me from having fun. I also find the UI interaction very annoying in VR but I do think that wih an update, this game can turn out to be good. As for now, for me, unplayable (I really wanted to enjoy it).

The mechanics are cool though, Spider-Man like, Gliding, Climbing.. all I really liked and I think are good for a platformer game. There are different levels that can be unlocked. But all that held back by a game breaking bug that I hope will be fixed.

This issue shown might happen for you or might not, but for me, the way I played, lead it to be unplayable (when you drop inside the 3D model and can't progress from there). It's free, so give it a shot. I think if it does work well for you, you might have fun with it.

Hey I super appreciate you actually making the time to make a video of my game, that's amazing.

I'm really sorry you had a game breaking bug. You're right "it's not a lot to ask" to make sure the game actually works, for sure.

You can definitely climb and grapple hook with either hand. Climb with the grip buttons. You pull yourself up on the top of a platform by pulling toward you when you get to the top.

On the menus, I have now uploaded an updated build that should fix them.

On the jump button, I have now uploaded an updated build with the jump moved to the A button, grapples on B and Y and left hand radial / level select menu brought up by pressing and holding the X button and hovering over the option you want (home = back to menus, back arrow = back to game, numbers = instant jump to a level. Also you can now jump by swinging your arms in an upward motion if you don't want to jump with a button.

For the falling through the geometry, which is the biggest thing, I swear I have played the level a million times and not had the issue. You're not playing in seated mode, right? I always play standing; I'm just trying to think of what the delta might be. Anyway, I will keep testing because obviously that is not supposed to occur, when you get the top of a platform, if you pull toward you with hands in theory you should pull yourself up to the platform. Again, I'm really sorry that occurred and I hope I can get a fix in the next patch in a day or two so that you can enjoy the game. If people don't like the game that's totally cool but I don't want it to be because of an easily fixable problem.
