Water Bears VR is a puzzle game in which the player uses plumbing equipment such as pipes, valves, and mixers to route various water sources to their proper destinations. The destinations are signified by sleeping tardigrades in different colors: each creature wants to be showered with a certain color of water. When the correct color stream contacts all the water bears' bodies, they express delight and rise to float around the player's head, ending the level. Successively more difficult levels are presented to the player.
