Kingspray Graffiti Simulator
Kingspray Graffiti Simulator is coming to Oculus Touch, which will either keep graffiti artists off the streets or serve as a training ground for aspiring artistic vandals. As the title suggests, Kingspray is a graffiti simulator that lets you create practically anything you would be able to in real life, and it features multiple environments, such as back alleys and billboards, for you to use as a canvas. The paint that comes out of the spray cans reacts like real paint. The further you are from the surface, the wider the pattern will be. As you get closer to the surface, the paint can accumulate and start to drip. Kingspray gives you full artistic freedom, without the risk of a criminal record for vandalism.

Toybox also gives you a taste of VR telepresence, thanks to its multiplayer component.

Cosmic Trip
Cosmic Trip is a real-time strategy game that takes the typical model and flips it on its head. You’ll have to manage your resources, deploy “cosmobot” forces to capture territory, defend your base, and build structures to fortify your position and hold down the fort. But Cosmic Trip is unlike any other RTS game you’ve ever seen. Instead of the classic top-down isometric view that RTS games typically employ, Cosmic Trip is a first-person game that puts you on the ground with your battalion.
