- — SUMMARY
Alien baby dinosaurs have "borrowed" their parents' spaceship and accidentaly crash landed on Earth, destroying one of its major cities. Feeling very sorry for their mischief, the dinosaurs team up with the players to rebuild everything exactly the way it was. Or something close to it, anyway…
Built for HoloMoves and De Hoogstraat Revalidatie, Torenhoog was designed for children ages 13 through 18 undergoing severe physical rehabilitation treatment. Played on the Microsoft HoloLens 2, the game tasks players with grabbing building pieces and stacking them to achieve various goals while managing the structure's stability. The game supports 2-player multiplayer for both cooperative and versus play. Taking on the role of the dinosaurs' parents, players see eachother as a large dinosaur which can be customized with various skin colours, hats and accessoires.
