Pixel Ripped is a nostalgia-fueled virtual reality game-within-a-game, set in 1995! To restore balance to multiple dimensions, our videogame hero Dot recruits the help of the best gamer from 1995, an unassuming 9-year-old boy named David. Join this unlikely duo through challenging throwbacks to all your favorite classics from the late 16-bit and early 32-bit era of games inside a virtual reality world.

The game evokes a genuine nostalgic feeling, such as the adrenaline of playing games without getting caught after your mom told you to go to bed, or the thrill of finding that brand new game at the store. You have to do all that and more through multiple environments - including your living room, bedroom, the local video rental store, the arcade at the pier, and more. Where each level feels like an entire new game, Pixel Ripped 1995 is an incredible journey for both VR and retro gamers.

OhShape (Odders Lab) and Synth Riders (Kluge Interactive) have teamed up again on the anniversary of their first collaboration to bring a DLC with the electronic sounds of Caravan Palace.


The Caravan Palace Music Pack features 5 songs from a fine selection of this electronic group from France. Heavily influenced by the Gypsy scene, Django Reinhardt and the sophisticated orchestrations of 1940s jazz, Caravan Palace fuses this with elements of future bass, trap, deep house and African house. Here are the full track list:

* Wonderland
* Lone Digger
* Tattoos
* Rock It For Me
* Miracle


In addition to this music, OhShape also added a new stage inspired by the most iconic elements of the band with dark and purple elements and the cute retro robots present in the visual identity of Caravan Palace. For its part, Synth Riders includes a new and unique audiovisual experience for the track Wonderland.

The OhShape Caravan Palace Music Pack is available now for the Steam and Oculus Quest versions at $7.99 (the PSVR DLC will be available soon in the next few weeks). On top of that, OhShape and Synth Riders are on sale at a 20% discount on the Quest store in a Duo Pack: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/588943868741341/

To celebrate the Caravan Palace Music Pack, both OhShape and Synth Riders teamed up with LIV (mixed reality software creators) to organize a mixed reality contest with $2000 on prizes.
