What is Inner Tube?  

Inner Tube is a 3D game for BioExplorer where the game parameters can respond to BioExplorer. Ship speed, rolling fog, music volume, tunnel transparency, autopilot accuracy and sky visibility are among the parameters that can be used as feedback. Inner Tube can be set to autopilot, played with a joystick, or played with the keyboard.

The goal is to get to the end of each level before the time runs out. To do this you must achieve reward frequencies and avoid inhibit frequencies.

Overall Inner Tube is designed to be fun while providing very clear, easy to understand, feedback for optimal effectiveness.
