Galaxy Forces VR

A single player space shooter game in VR. The player is in control of a ship. The goal is to race against the clock to get the fastest time (race), or transport cargo to get the best score (mission). All done in 55 narrow space caves filled with evil enemies. Featuring interactive music, realistic physics and challenging game-play.

The game is inspired by Gravity Force on the Amiga, and by Galaxy Forces V2.

All players may have their best score for each level sent to this website and the top scores and top players are displayed below. The replay of the record scores are possible to view from the game and here to see how it was done. There are also 22 achievements to unlock.

Available for free on Oculus Home (for Rift), and Steam (Rift, Vive and others) since 20th of September 2019.

Also on AppLab (SideQuest page).

As of March 2023 on itch.io for PC without VR.

Level editor

The ability to create and play custom levels is now added. Use the MapEditor for Windows, Linux or Mac and read editor_readme.txt.

In the Discord server there is a channel for sharing levels with me and others and I can add them to the games user level page for approved levels.

Public Domain

Since November 2020 the Unity projects source for all versions are available on SourceForge. And on GitHub.

If you find the source useful I'd like to hear from you.

Hiscores PC

Steam users are prefixed 's_' to separate them from Oculus users (no prefix).

Hiscores PC no VR

Future and past

Point-movement (all platforms v1.40) where you point with your hand and the ship goes there. The plan is to also add multiplayer for 4 players with 4 new dogfight maps as well as the existing race and mission maps. Race will be done without collision between players, and mission as co-op where you cooperate to transport all cargo.
