*EDIT: It does look like the developers have abandoned this game. I'm not going to thumbs down it however becuase it's still a blast to play and it still works. My review below still stands, just be aware that it's starting to look like the game that you buy now is all you will get. Honestly I was expecting something like Space Pirate Trainer. Compared to this game SPT is downright boring! The soundtrack is old-school 80's style. The commentary reminds me of the old "HEADSHOT!" days of Unreal Tourney. And holy cow is it a workout. Honestly if you are trying to choose between SPT or this game, go for Belly Bots. You won't regret it. Pros: Soundtrack. Rapid action that doesn't stop till you are worn out. Different levels offer some interesting variations. You have a top hat and moustache on your space helmet. (Look at your shadow) Your helmet actually cracks when you take damage. Cons: [strike]No menu or way to pause/escape the action that I could find. [/strike] [i] Ed...

Don't buy this game, it is a simple wave shooter that has been abandoned by the developers. They consider putting in 1 (one!!!) additional week for further developing this game and that was it. Don't do the same mistake I did: don't buy abandonded EA shovelware
[h1]One of the earliest VR wave shooters and one of the most fun[/h1] I just finished a full playthrough of the twenty levels... it felt like I played triple that! This game is woefully underrated. If I described it as "wave shooter with one weapon and three enemy types" that would be an accurate description, but it would do nothing to convey how insanely fun and [i]relentless[/i] this game is. I had to take a break (thankfully supports pause with Menu button) to wipe down my headset and controllers, wash my face, and strip down to my underwear (in the middle of winter). It's such a workout. It's simple in the best of ways, as an arcade game should be. The appeal of it is in the carefully laid out waves of enemies that come in all kinds of patterns and layouts. Twenty levels feels more like sixty... I was loudly exclaiming "NO MORE" and "FUCK" as I bent backwards like Neo to avoid enemy fire while shooting my dual pistols each to one side. I kept wondering if the levels were generat...
Love it..... This is a keeper! Short but sweet. Clear picture with no chopping/studders. Fun new levels for each wave!! Can't wait for more levels/bellybots! Needs a leaderboard mode. Great game I would buy it again.
BellyBots really stand out from every other VR shooter. Silly aestetics, catchy song and very polished gameplay all make it one of the most enjoyable games I've played. It takes everything that made SPT great and improves upon it in almost every way. Pros: - You have a tophat. - Every gameplay aspect feels polished and thought through. - Great use of spatial audio. You always know precisely where enemies are and when they shoot. - Awesome level design with nice difficulty curve. - Catchy music and amazing sound design. Shooting feels so satisfying! Cons: - No way to pause. - Graphics have a little bit of aliasing. Despite having some minor issues, BellyBots is hands down the best VR arcade shooter.
Good game, lovely visuals and a great workout.
Awesome little game. Gives you a good work out. Has great graphics, music and love the big guns. A must buy if your into work out type of room scale vr games. I appreciated that when you die, you don't start over from the beginning.
Simple but kind of addictive shoot-em-up arcade game. Since this is an early access game, please treat this review the same way - it was reviewed on the basis of the game I purchased on the 26th of July 2016. The game is a straight forward shoot-em-up game, you get two guns you can pick up at the start of the game, and then the game lets you shoot robots that during the game looks exactly the same all the time. They all stand still on platforms. Eventually you get some shields you can "hide and dive" behind, but you can accidentally blow those up yourself as well. At the time of writing this review, this is all there is to the game, there's this voice that will tell you how fantastic you are while hitting those robots, and each "level" consist of new pods to stand on, sometimes higher, sometimes closer and sometimes lower - but essentially the same design each level. The game doesn't seem to have any leaderboards or scoreboards at the moment, except for one long continous score th...
Repetitive shooter. Still at early access since 2016. I DO NOT RECOMMEND, waste of time. but hey, it's free.
This game has been abandoned by the devs in a far-from-finished state. Do NOT spend money
