Hello everyone! We've been hard at work over the past few months, and we're happy to say that we're a launch title for the Oculus Touch controllers! In addition, we added support for the Oculus headset with a gamepad, which should allow those without the touch to still be able to play the game in VR.

Update Highlights

• Oculus Touch support
• Oculus + gamepad support
• Performance and usability improvements
