You glide through scenic skies, carefully managing limited rocket boost to collect hoops while avoiding obstacles under a 10-minute time limit.

What players say
Players compare it to Pilotwings 64 and call it a solid VR hang glider arcade game, not a simulator. Reviews split on controls: early versions had only head tracking, but later updates added hand or controller support that many find more natural. Some find it too difficult with 100% ring requirements, others say it is a relaxing experience worth a few dollars.
