\"\"<\/a>Of all the things you can build in the Labo VR Kit, the Wind Pedal is the largest in size.\u00a0 It\u2019s also the most gimmicky.\u00a0 It\u2019s a modified version of the gas pedal from the Labo Vehicle Kit<\/strong><\/a>, and fans wind in your face when you press down on the pedal with your foot.\u00a0 So, yeah.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a bigger picture of it all built.\u00a0 My brother Jeff, who helps me build these things, noted that he liked how sturdy it was.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good thing it doesn\u2019t break easily, because if it did, you\u2019d be \u2018breaking wind.\u2019\u00a0 Har har!\u00a0 In the educational videos, they show you how you can fold the wind pedal up to store it better since it\u2019s so big.\u00a0 Make sure you only use the pedal without shoes, though.\u00a0 At least the pedal is a pretty shade of blue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aside from some VR Plaza mini-games (which aren\u2019t very good), the only main game you can play with the pedal is Hop Dodge.\u00a0 In the game you are a frog.\u00a0 Robot bears that make me think of Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s (but not that scary), surround you and shoot balls at you and you must press the wind pedal down to jump over them. \u00a0Tap the pedal repeatedly while in the air to slow your descent.\u00a0 \u00a0I think the balls stack below you because your goal is to jump to certain heights, like 100m, 500m, etc.\u00a0 Sometimes a bear will shoot a soccer ball out of his head and you must look up and jump to headbutt it.<\/p>\n

There are three levels of difficulty but they\u2019re all pretty easy.\u00a0 I beat all but the last one on my first try, and I think I was only 10m off from beating the last one.\u00a0 After that you unlock a super hard mode where you only get one hit.\u00a0 In the other modes, you can get hit three times before it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 You\u2019ll lose a heart, but the frog has a mohawk that\u2019ll change from green to yellow to red as you take hits, too.<\/p>\n

One thing I noticed was that this game loses calibration very easily, and kept wanted to veer to the right for me.\u00a0 I think the ideal way to play this game is in a swivel seat like an office chair, so you can twist around easier to see all the bears.\u00a0 If you can use headphones, the sound cues may help as well.\u00a0 Overall the wind in your face didn\u2019t really make the games more immersive for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only other thing you can do with the wind pedal is use it along with the bird games<\/strong><\/a> to make you go faster.\u00a0 And that\u2019s all for the Wind Pedal.\u00a0 Next time we\u2019ll look at the last thing you can build: the VR Blaster!\u00a0 And then I\u2019ll have one more bonus Labo article and the wrap-up, so stay tuned!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
