What is Lamper VR: First Flight?

The app runs on both iOS and Android devices, and works on a number of headsets including Google Cardoard, VR Smartview, VRTRIA, Nibiru, and more.
Lamper VR: First Flight is free to download and play, and can be found in the iTunes app store and the Google Play store.

Lamper VR: First Flight is rated for users 4+ in the iTunes ratings system, and "E" for everyone in Google Play.
Is Lamper VR: First Flight safe for my kids?
Lamper VR: First Flight is a safe gaming app for users of all ages, but most VR headsets recommend that kids under 12 do not use their product, as it causes disorientation and can damage young eyes that are not fully developed.
Parents should read the guidelines for their specific headset for more accurate information. Also recommended is that players using a VR headset take a break at least ten minutes long for every hour of gameplay.
The game itself is safe for kids. The graphics are fun and cartoonish and there is no violence present. Also, Lamper VR: First Flight does not have any platform for messaging or connection to wider social platforms, so kids can play without threat of cyberbullying or online strangers.
Parents are also happy to know that the game does not offer any in-app purchases, which can be frustrating for players and result in unexpected expenses.
Like other runner games, such as Temple Run, Lamper VR: First Flight can be addicting, as players continually want to top their high score and fly just a little further.
As stated earlier, it is important that kids take breaks from gameplay when using VR headsets.
