Proton Pulse

At first I thought this was a cheap port from the gear VR and I would have had to use my head like a Weeble wobble controlling the paddle but I was happily mistaken. Playing this game in room scale on the vive and using the tracked motion controllers is truly how this game is meant to be played. This games shines on the Vive. My only suggestion to the developer is to make the default paddle control the hand controllers so I don't have to squeeze the side button to activate them. You can also back down the haptic feedback to occur only when a paddle makes contact with a ball.

A full game with lots of levels, cool boss fights, dazzling visuals, high energy soundtrack and makes use of the Vive motion controllers. Slamming a super metal ball across the field feels almost like an super hero experience.

I was a massive Arkanoid fan/fanatic on the Amiga, as well being heavily into the demo scene.. This game seems to merge the two together nicely. As already mentioned, this game is perfect for room scale VR on the Vive. But having to constantly hold down the grip buttons to use the paddles, wtf? Constant vibration of the Vive controllers, wtf? Vive controllers feels too much like an afterthought. It is so close to being absolutely perfect I'm about to strangle myself. Will have to relectantly put this aside for now and hope an update or a fix is on its way. I recommend following but not buying this game right now.

Must-have for people with a Rift! 3D breakout ftw

This is more like a port from a GEAR-VR, there is no in-out/side-side recognition making this a nausiating game for most. The shuttle pad is moved only by your head also meaning you have to flail your head around trying to hit the ball. Just wish I had tried it out when I purchased it so that I could refund.

I HAD given this game a thumbs up, but I had to change my vote. I found myself not wanting to play this at all. It's basically breakout in 3D which has been done before... and VR in this instance doesn't add that much to it, except that they chose to make your goggles the controller by default. I'm guessing this was more for the Oculus crowd since they don't have motion controls yet. The Developer kindly informed me that holding the grip buttons will activate the paddles. Somehow that makes it even less fun for me. I don't get it. Word of advice: If you do choose to use the paddles, don't play in a room with light fixtures hanging from the ceiling. If you choose to use the goggles, take a break or your neck will likely hurt later. The developer really should have made it an option... or a toggle... instead of having to hold the button to use the hand paddles, press it once to bring up the paddle, press it again to use the goggles... simple, efficient, and unobtrusive. But as ...

I think it is a WAY COOL game. Just be warned! This game gives the player a false sense of boundaries. I have the boundaries maxed out for my sensors and inside the game, the sphere you are hitting will LEAD YOU to trying to hit it, when in fact you are about to go beyond the chaperon boundary and SMACK your controller into the wall. Yeah, I know it is my fault and all......it's just if the room inside the game would match the room you have to play, you wouldn't be playing the game thinking, "Ok, I have to be careful not to over extend my arm because I am going to break my controller! Other than that, it is pretty cool......

Nice game. Very futuristic and retro at the same time.

Amazing 3D version of Break Out (which is an old school arcade classic). 10/10 The aiming is very good on the VIVE.

This game is fantastic. Using head to control is precise and comfortable. Very addictive, and I played for close to an hour without realizing how time passes. For oculus users, make sure you get the "oculus beta support" ( download from Properties ) or you will get a black screen. The best of all the 3D breakout type of games. Get the game before the sale ends on July 5!
