This game is very good for the price. It definitely needs more songs, and other fun features to flesh it out. At its core, it's a solid rhythm based bullet hell. Think Superhot meets Crypt of the NecroDancer. Top marks for being a working VR game while still being in early access, Once there is a bit more content, I will update this review, as it has potential to be one of my favorite VR games. Devs: Please keep working on this game. It just needs a little polish to really be a VR standout. Suggestions: Find a way to let users import songs. The few you have are great, but your game is bigger than your licensing capabilities right now. Find a way to allow users import their own gun models. Again, the defaults are fun, but what can really help define this game is that everyone will play it their own way. Embrace that. Multiplayer. Back to back kung fu gun dance battle? Sign me up! More enemies. I don't even know if they need to have different abilities, but just some different model...

About This Game
Beat enemies to the beat. Avoid bullets to survive.
‘Gun Beat’ is a VR game that combines rhythm and shooting. Beat the enemy with a rhythm! Oh, don't forget to avoid bullets, too!Game Play
- Just remember two things about Gun Beat. "Beat enemies to the beat. Avoid bullets to survive." There are only two operating buttons: Trigger and Grip.
- You have to shoot at the beat. Perfect, Good, Bad, and Miss depending on the accuracy.
- Move your body to avoid bullets.
- You build a combo. Then you can see the sign of Fever Time in front of your eyes. Press the Grip button at the same time to start the Fever Time. With Fever Time, you become invincible. Ignore beats and get more scores! Don't miss the Fever Time!
- There are three modes, Tutorial, Infinity, and Stage.

This is a very cool concept and the game plays great! I REALLY hope you keep working on the game and add more to it because this could be such an awesome game. Like other reviews said, this game absolutely needs a way to import our songs just like AudioShield and BoxVR does. While we wait for the first update, how difficult would it be to give us super early access owners a flipped mirrored version of the only level we have? The layout would be different enough to keep things interesting longer and could be set to random for which version we get to play with.
as of right now i cant make this game work so id consider it a complete fail. also there is no discord server set up or anyway to comunicate with the devs. here is video of me trying to make this game work. you can jump to the 11 min mark to see me jsut make my own gunbeatish game in wardust. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/366926084
My friend recommended me to play this game. I played games for an hour because it was really fun. Especially, I like 'there is no shortcut' in stage mode. I hope the new song and stage will be updated continuously.
Doesn't work on my G2 or my Vive pro. Grey screen.
Like the other reviews say, great concept, good execution, it just needs more songs and stages. My one complaint is that I'm not a fan of how Fever mode switches to a different song with a different tempo. It makes me not want to use it. I think if it might be better if instead of changing the song, it just temporarily let you shoot on eighth notes instead of just quarter notes. Maybe add a filter to the music or another layer of instruments to really make it feel awesome.
The game as it is right now, is kinda unplayable, it’s not consistent with the controls, if you are taller than 5’8 the game doesn’t want to calibrate your height, as it is right now a very cool concept it’s just not fun with all the bugs and inconstancy within its controls and gameplay
Great proof of concept for what a game that's very likely going to explode in popularity soon. Just as others have mentioned, the game certainly does need some more songs added to it [hopefully more dance animations, too] but overall I think this is a really solid idea, especially for the price.
Great little game. Liked it. Feedback: I never use fever mode because it is not in sync with the beat. (It breaks the concept of this game) Could you add triplets, 3/4 time, 6/8 time.
