Pretty good game. Not much to it really, but lots of fun for a couple hours alone and longer with friends competing with each other. Good to see that it does get updates with new modes and features. Only took me an hour or so to be #1 on the Steam leaderboard for all three current modes. ;)

About This Game
As the founder of the Woebotics Corporation you find yourself bewildered as your very own robot creations suddenly turn against you. Your awful programming skills somehow let their artificial intelligence run amok and has given them free will. And these guys won't be serving you your afternoon tea with that stuff running their CPU-cores, that's for sure. Maybe they'll serve you some hot lead instead! As their master-creator you have to destroy every single one of them before they do something strikingly similar to you. Grab your guns from your super high-tech hips and blast your way through their filthy electronic meat!
- Shoot evil robots with tactically-minded AI that die when you kill them to death!
- Fight it out on four different levels!
- Move somewhat freely around the levels by shooting carefully placed teleport points!
Use it to your strategical advantage and surprise your enemies.
- No motion sickness (almost*) semi-guaranteed in a super-non legally binding way!
- Fight with your friends over who can climb to the top of the Steam Leaderboards or the amazingly innovative local high score list!
- Absolutely no multiplayer at all! Be completely free from the pressures of online fighting that could RUIN your FRIENDSHIPS with REAL people!
(yes that's a unique feature!)
* does not apply if you are playing this game on a boat in stormy weather or in a car flying off a cliff or if played on top of a speeding truck while fighting off oncoming traffic
Full support for HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus Touch (3-sensors).

This game has very good potential. I cannot recommend it at the $9.99 suggested price, however, I recommend it on sale at $4.99. It may be worth $9.99 in the future, but it isn't right now. There is only one map. There is only 1 type of gun. There are really only 3 enemy types (although there's like stronger versions of each one) which is basically regular soldier, sniper, and tank robot. I think there may be 7 or 8 teleportation targets that you can shoot to move away from heavy fire or to get the drop on enemies. There's several cover barriers and you can dodge bullets. This game has a lot of polish as the gunplay is very responsive and the shoot a target to teleport is very quick and strategic to do. However, you will get bored after about 20 minutes of playing. Going past waves just seem like more enemies versus new tactics or gameplay. This game needs to add a lot more maps, guns, and enemy types to really be worth the target price. I am only recommending this game...
This wave shooter style game has great potential. Funky soundtrack is great, art style is great, grip mechanic for the guns works nicely, shoot to teleport is innovative and fun. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes...
It's great work done by one man, but unfortunately it's also the reason I don't recommend the game. I played it for 16 mins. and have already seen all it has to offer. €9,99 is just waaay to high for that amount of playtime. Next... the game was released... and then the guy clearly went off to do something else. The game has some clear usability issues that could have been discovered via player testing, and there are tons of ways the game could have small improvements.... but the developer is gone. It's a four level wave shooter, and the levels are ok. What breaks the game is a terrible reload mechanic. Throw away your gun and grab a new one... sounds good, but works terrible. It's almost like pressing the grip-buttons twice should do the job, but it does not really. The movement mechanic. is also terrible. It requires you to shoot at specific targets, and then moves to to that place. Sounds fine, but... Since the reloads are terrible, and you need ammo to move, this leads to prob...
This game has potential but a few odd bits happening. As you enter the arena, turn left and shoot the target. Move over there and there is another target on the other side of the building - giving you a good shooting vantage point of that straight road. But you shoot it and it's like the bullet hits a wall in front of the target (there is nothing there). A robot came running around the corner and was standing in front of it shooting me but - again - I couldn't hit him. That sucked. I'm not sure if there is a way of reloading the guns but it appears to be you just drop the guns and then grab another from your hip. This would be better if you got to reload the gun. There is no multiplayer but this game could work really well with it. X amount of players start on the screen with x amount of health. Last man standing. This could be a fun game to play with friends. Whilst there are a few teething issues, this seems to be a good take on a wave game. I like that you can shoot targets t...
Great little game for those new to VR and im still playing it now and again weeks later
So this game is ok. It is super very repetative. The graphics need a little polishing, and the Waves do not get harder once you reach a certain point. Just the same thing over and over. I would but for like $3. Maybe.
A great game, i enjoy the atmosphere and style to it. Wish it was multiplayer though.
Great fun at a great price point (£6), the gunplay is fast and will have you spinning around to hit your enemies, If you liked Serious Sam's wave shooter then you may like this, in this game you fire at targets to teleport around the map which gives the game a fast tactical slant where you can quickly get out of trouble and take the high ground, I played the first level for a while getting to 34000 at wave 10 and I thought it would be the end, I thought at some point the next level would come in, but you have to select the levels through the start menu duh!, All in all a great addition to my Vive games, fun for the family! Only cons would be the sound and music, the guns sound flat and pew pew'y! and overall the sound seems low quality, but it's made by one guy so I can forgive that. This game will tangle your wire in minutes :)
