Time Stall
A comic physics puzzle game set aboard a crowdfunded prototype spaceship where everything keeps going wrong. Whenever disaster strikes, time slows almost to a stop, giving you a few moments to grab, throw and rearrange objects to save the Captain.
Time Stall is a virtual reality puzzle game developed by Force Field Entertainment, a studio based in the Netherlands, and published by Oculus Studios. It was released for the original Oculus Quest on 15 August 2019 and now runs on all Meta Quest headsets. It costs $9.99, is rated 4.4 from 778 ratings, and carries a Teen (13+) age rating.
You wake from cryogenic sleep aboard the Fantastic Leap, a crowdfunded prototype spaceship, and make your way to the bridge as one malfunction follows another. Whenever the Captain is in danger, the ship's computer, Victoria, slows time so that you can move objects out of harm's way. The physics give you a lot of freedom in how you solve each problem. Reviewers praised the physics and world building but noted the campaign is short; UploadVR scored it 6/10 and 6DOF Reviews 8.5.
