Snowy Birds is a VR-based video game, using Oculus Rift and Leap Motion tech for the ultimate snowball-fighting experience against the nasty birds. Gamedev in progress...

We are a team of VR enthusiasts participating in a hackathlon Garage 48 (garage48.org). In 48 hours we are about to deliver a web-based snowball fighting game that uses the best of Oculus Rift and Leap Motion technologies. You don’t need to annoy your friends anymore to have a snowball fight. Just get our game and have a fight against the nasty birds!

Too bad oculus rift+leap motion are too expensive for me :(

I'd totally play it if i had the hardware. :)

Damn I want to play this! Too bad I don't own an Oculus Rift..

Tried it out with just the leap motion and it looked cool! It would be cool if you could make a mouse mode to look around if you are not using an oculus.

Wish I had the tools to play this... but awesome job for not following the crowd!

Lynx, thank you! We didn't intend to follow the crowd ;)

ajayajayaj, thank you for the idea! We were short in time, but we might add this option later ;)

Nice entry, I cannot play the game but from what i saw the graphics are fantastic, the menu / page was realy well done!
Great Job such a shame the audience is limited :(

I think they should be a category for VR on LD (as well as one for pure Web games -no Unity...)
