Little Critters: Dive Into Mixed Reality Gaming with Innovative Room Mapping and Hand Tracking on Quest 3
November 6, 2025
Little Critters is a mixed reality action-strategy game from Purple Yonder released for Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
Purple Yonder will roll out regular updates, adding new language localizations and content to keep the gameplay fresh.
Players can use hand tracking to slap, squash, throw, and poke critters, with Touch Plus controllers also supported.
Gameplay features escalating waves, new critter types with unique attack patterns, and new traps, upgrades, and weapons that adapt to different room sizes and shapes.
Purple Yonder has released multiple updates to Little Cities since its 2022 launch, demonstrating ongoing development of mixed reality experiences.
The team behind Little Cities has previously worked on Quest 3 support and hand-tracking enhancements, informing current titles like Little Critters.
A mixed reality version of Little Critters arrived on Apple Vision Pro in late 2024, available via Apple Arcade.
Little Critters is priced at $20 and is available on the Horizon Store for Quest 3 devices.
Players defend their real-world rooms from critter waves using virtual traps attached to walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture.
The game uses innovative scene tracking to map the player’s real room into the game, with depth occlusion allowing critters to navigate under tables and behind furniture.
