100% worth the money and has huge a potential!!! Keep it up, I would love to see throttle control in the future!
Cool game, has a nice feel to it! Was a little frustrated at first because I kept trying to aim with the circle in front of the ship instead of the two blue markers but once I got the hang of it, I increased the x and z axis and locked in the trigger within the settings menu in order to increase the ships responsiveness. This made the experience much more enjoyable. Highly recommend it to all space shooter fans.
Works fine on my Lenovo Explorer WMR headset.
OUTSTANDING GAME. very fun and the feeling of being in this particular cockpit feels like this thing should be zooming through space and time. good job.
pros:
- very fun
- great graphics
- its astroblast in VR
cons:
- touch controls only (not a deal breaker but hotas support will be a game changer or at least gamepad support)
- engine sound gets annoying after a bit and drowns out the music. (may i suggest the sound of lunar lander thrusters with each move of the stick? that will be so awesome)
- gpu settings? seems to lag a bit (not too bad) i dont have the greatest rig i7 8700/gtx 1060 6gb/ram 16gb
BUT, shes a keeper. please consider the above. thank you.
Perfect arcade fun! Picked this one up for a mere €2,39 which is rediculously cheap for a great game like this.
BUT the devs have still some debugging to do, because
- when you get hit and the new session is loading, apparently the HMD recenters and you shouldn't move your head or else you'll be playing the next game off centre.
- Then there's the bit where the I pressed the B-button (pause/menu) and when I pressed 'resume' the menu didn't go away yet the game resumed playing. Restarting the app was the only option left.
[*] Also the crosshair (aiming circle) is off (for me it was); if I wanted to hit the smaller asteroids I had to look just right ABOVE the circle, which doesn't make any sense (even keeping in mind that the bullet has to travel a distance, but these asteroids were almost in my face so the distance was minimal).
All in all, for this rediculously low price it's super fun, but the absense of (e.g.) throttle, boost, or even hyperjump (I'm thinking Minestorm on Vectrex, my fave) would be very welcome aspects to this lovely VR remake of Asteroids. 7/10 (not considering the bugs!). ;)
Fun game. Not as good as Beat Saber, but you can play to your own music. That makes it cool.
It's Asteroids in VR and is pretty fun for the asking price. Really a no brainer.
I find the game play to be a little too casual. Getting a high score won't be difficult as long as you have the time to keep playing. There is occasional orientation drift between levels or when you respawn after dying, but nothing even close to game breaking.
I can say from first hand experience that the dev is working hard to improve this game and has let it be known that they intend to add more challenging modes.
For less than £2 this is a great, re-imagined version of the old Asteroids game, which I used to play for hours in a social club almost 40 years ago.
The graphics of meteorites and cockpit are very good, and everything runs smoothly. My only criticism so far is the control method. Instead of holding a real world controller, you take a 'virtual' hold of the in-cockpit joystick. It works ok, but I find it is very difficult to move swiftly enough or aim with enough precision, which quickly makes the game a bit frustrating.
It might be the way I am using the controls, but I could see myself playing this game a lot if only the ocntrol was more 'direct' feeling, if that makes sense.
A really good value, good looking VR arcade game, I hope those controls might get tweaked in future, then I would see myeslf playing this a lot.
As it stands, I give it a thumbs up for the graphics and price, & the nostalgia, but I admit I will struggle to enjoy it much with the current feel of the control.
MIND BLOWING HOLY FUK .
its needs thrusters and shields but got alot potenial .
have to try this feels like in a space ship. to bad there was graphical glitches on spoiling my fun.
ASTEROIDS meets VR!
You are inside of your one man spaceship as you target asteroids and enemy spacecraft. Your spaceship is very well modeled and detailed with a center mounted joystick that you use to control it and fire the weapons. This is a pretty fun game and well worth adding to your library!
This developer genuinely cares about putting out a solid game. As is, it's certainly worth the asking price, so I recommend it on that alone, but this title has massive potential and I see the price point going up in the future so get it now!
Wow this was better then I was expecting. Think spaceship with VTOL style single joystick (no thrust controls, just the joystick, so not sure if speed can be controlled. It's a 6dof type vtol steering system where you can shoot asteroids and enemy attackers. It seems to have gone on forever so I quit because I wasn't confident I'd be going to another level and was perhaps just a high score style game? Have to check back later. Enemies and asteroids spawn in an out of the world seemingly randomly. Way fun for the price and would be great for someones first time VR space experience with motion controllers. Absolutely recommend.
A VR Version of the Classic Arcade Game 'Asteroids'
Pros
- $2 for this game is well worth it. It is very much like a $0.25 arcade machine, that is currently best enjoyed in, say, 15-20 minutes spurts. Of course you can play as long as you like, but if you're looking for a epic space saga, you might want to try something else.
- The reflections off of the cockpits from the surrounding space is fantastic, and aids to the sense of motion.
- The pitch and yaw controls have a realistic feel to them (e.g., you can't turn and stop on a dime), and forces you to kind of predict your shots. Firing with 'your hands in the air like you just don't care' will likely leave you more frustrated.
- Having an asteroid pass right by your ship, and trying to keep track of it is very immersive.
- There is something cool when you have the boss ship (?) heading towards you, and after lining up the shot , you take it down.
- You have to grip the joystick in order to move your ship. Nice touch of realism, but after 25 minutes of playing, my wimpy arm started to tire, and was not sure if I could take my raised arm and place it on my chari's arm rest, and still maintain control.
Cons
- Could use a 'reset view' option. I'm sitting in a rotating chair with wheels; on occassion I would shift in my chair, and then I would be a little off center while in the cockpit.
- While the controls are relatively straightfoward, a brief explanation of what they are would not hurt either.
- It seems you are stuck in one place, and rotating 360 degrees in all axes. This works well from a gun turret perspective, but in thinking this was like Asteroids, I half expected some form of thrust control. Not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting.
- I was expecting all asteroids to be coming form space, and heading towrds earth. Sometimes, when looking at earth, it looks like some asteroids are being shot towards me from earth's surface. Maybe the smaller asteroids are caught in earth's orbit, and are circling? (if so, being able to hunt them down would be cool).
- Some asteroids, when hit, have a very 2-D feel to them, and feel kind of 'meh' when you hit them (this is in comaprison to the great 3-D effect of an asteroids passing by your ship).
- If an asteroid gets past you and heads towards earth, there seems to be no consequence. I guess if this game had a 'Missile Command' aspect to it, I might have an issue with it. While having the earth as a constant background adds to the feeling of movement and tracking, it does feel weird that the earth is impervious to asteroid strikes.
- How does global scoring works? The number 1 person (the developer, I presume) had a score of 1800. After my 2nd try, I got a score of almost 4,000, but the global leader board had my original score of 810.
Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, despite my complaining above. I had fun with it.
