About Omega Agent

Omega Agent is a VR-only game.

Set on a remote island training facility for cold-war super-spies, Omega Agent sees the player strap on a prototype nuclear-powered jetpack and blast around an open world city filled with daring missions and breath-taking events in an attempt to graduate as the ultimate elite spy, the ‘Omega Agent’.

What makes my game unique?

Omega Agent has been developed exclusively for the Samsung Gear VR and is unique due to the fact that Omega Agent is one of the few actual games available to play in VR. Set on a remote island training facility for cold-war super-spies, Omega Agent sees the player strap on a prototype nuclear-powered jetpack and blast around an open world city filled with daring missions and breath-taking events in an attempt to graduate as the ultimate elite spy, the ‘Omega Agent’.

Why could my game win an award?

At first contact we found VR an awe-inspiring tech, so in designing our first game for it we wanted to stay true to the spellbinding nature of Virtual Reality yet simultaneously prove that VR and excitement can go together very well indeed. We took a lump of Pilot Wings playability, a spoonful of classic Bond-movie attitude, added a dash of The Jetsons for visual flair and created a game which we hope celebrates old-school values like great controls and simple yet striking visuals in a playful 1960’s environment.
