Alongside the addition of official WMR support, Moss's 1.0.3 update introduces a new Controls sub-menu, available from the pause screen. With the new menu, you can quickly check out your current controller layout, as well as switch between two new layouts. One layout lets you change the way you control movement, with options for touch-to-move and press-to-move. The other layout lets you quickly change how your jump and attack actions are mapped to the controller. "Both options are intended to alleviate issues players have been reported with the Vive wand touch pad," Polyarc Games says.
Moss is a charming action-adventure title with exploration-based puzzles sprinkled throughout the world. The game places you in the role of Quill, a tiny, tenacious mouse who sets out on an adventure to save her uncle from danger. And while the gameplay is widely praised, seeing the forest world from the vantage of a tiny mouse makes the visuals a sight to behold as well.
If you haven't given Moss a shot just yet, you can pick the game up for $29.99 on Steam for Windows Mixed Reality, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive. The game is also available for PSVR.
