How it feels

a laid-back arcade experience where you float through space and casually shoot asteroids to a beautiful soundtrack

What players say

Players call it a faithful VR take on Asteroids with a detailed cockpit and VTOL-style controls, but note there is no throttle or progression, just endless high-score chasing. Reviews split on the virtual joystick: some find it immersive, others frustratingly imprecise. Several mention bugs like a recentering HMD on respawn and a sticky pause menu.
