About the game

Chroma Lab is a VR particle physics sandbox. Surround yourself with hundreds of thousands of colorful particles that stick together like a fluid which you can interact with using a variety of tools.

A colorful fluid simulation to play with in VR.

Gameplay

Chroma Lab is based around a high performance, custom particle physics engine that utilises the vast computing power of modern GPUs to calculate billions of individual forces per second between the particles, necessary for them to interact with each other and behave like a fluid.

There is a variety of tools to interact with the particles as well as a well featured options menu that allows you to customise the visuals, physics and save/load scenes.

Key features

Beautiful, psychedelic visuals

Particles react to your music (any external music player is compatible, may not work with Bluetooth headphones)

Tools to pick up, hit, pull, explode, shoot and paint the particles

Key features

Beautiful, psychedelic visuals

Particles react to your music (any external music player is compatible, may not work with Bluetooth headphones)

Tools to pick up, hit, pull, explode, shoot and paint the particles

Placeable force spheres which can also teleport the particles between one another

Save and load the particles and settings, included are a few presets to get started with

Adjustable physics settings to change how the particles behave

Multiple different particle shaders, color pallets and other graphics settings to choose from

Throw blobs into orbit and create black holes

Optional gravity and "lava lamp" modes

Freeze the simulation or slow time to a crawl

Great as first experience for people new to VR - intuitive controls and presets can be chosen outside of VR

MixCast support for easy, high quality mixed reality

Native Oculus SDK support for Rift and Touch users

Number of particles can be automatically determined based on computer speed or manually adjusted

Scale and bounding walls can be adjusted allowing Chroma Lab to be played from sitting to room scale

Beta tester quotes after playing Chroma Lab

"okay - gorgeous, just gorgeous! love how well it performs :)"
