How it feels

A classic brick-breaking arcade game intensified by virtual reality, demanding quick reflexes and precise paddle control.

What players say

Players love the VR take on Breakout but are divided on controls: the default is head-based, which some find nauseating, while motion controller paddles require holding grip buttons and have excessive haptic feedback. The game works best in room scale, though the in-game room does not match the player's chaperone boundaries, risking broken controllers.
