- The second game is a VR-Arcade game, where the user is equipped with a VR-Set and 2 controllers. The user is even bigger now, and the playground is set to 5 to 5 meters in real life, where the motion tracking sensors position the user on the field. In this game, the user tries to push the blocks with their hand, to make them hit the borders. If the blocks collide with the borders, they explode and disappear. | - The second game is a VR-Arcade game, where the user is equipped with a VR-Set and 2 controllers.

'''Conclusion''' | |||
Of course, we cannot solve this problem by making people play a game. But for them to realize the struggles of the inhabitants of the city, the environmentalists and the professionals like city planners and architects, such a “fun” way is chosen. | |||
During the game, especially in the VR version, the users are getting stressed and use a lot of effort, only to realize that this game never ends. This is the intended result to show them; as long as humankind roams this planet, there will be some of them who will try to harm its nature for their own good. | |||
The green is our friend, we must protect it; or one day, the nature will find a way to remove us from the game. | |||
