Beat Boxer

This game is in desparate need of polish, but despite that I'd rate it as quite possibly the best algorithm based (i.e. can play any track) rhythm game currently available in VR, and highly recommend it if you are into these type of games. Pros: - For the music I listen to (Symphonic / Power metal) it's algorithms synchronise the punches to the music quite well, in most cases much better than it's competitors (there are some exceptions, like in the track Sober by Voyager, which is one of the rare tracks that is actually quite satisfying to play in Audioshield, but less so here). The only game I'd rate higher in this regards is Holodance, but that is because the orb placement in that game is set by a human therefore always spot on. - Gives you quite a workout - if you are hoping VR might help you lose weight this is an excellent game to use. - Constantly have to turn around as the orbs change which direction they come from, but they do this well and you will never have an orb coming fr...

Idea of the game is amazing. The execution...not so much Pros: -Can use Airplay to get more music -Decent music selection interface -Room-scale, game makes you turn around and dodge Cons: -Runs poorly, had to hard reset my comp twice ( i play heftier vr like onward and never had to turn off my pc) -Menu music is extremely loud and unnecessary -Punching things feel...lack luster -Making mistakes is forgiving (I think it only punishes points) Overall, i think it can develop well over time perhaps but at the very moment it doesn't seem worthwhile. Concept is definetly better than soundboxing and audioshiled but the execution of the game is very mediocre.

This game... This game is sweet, now i've never played audioshield, and i've held back due to some bad reviews about the rhythm of the music being off. This seems like it would be a big set back for me however after playing for an hour on a variation of songs, I can strongly say that Beat Boxer gives you the feeling of being a complete badass and destroying those beats with your fists! Now some are off however when you're in the zone and just going with the flow of the music, you don't notice it, every hit feels nice, especcially when you put in the effort to swing hard for those beats. I do recomend this game and I don't want to go around comparing it to Audioshield because you also have the 360 degree aspect of the game which makes you aware of your surroundings constantly, this brings a whole new focus into the music beating genre in VR. I'll stop rambling, all in all I'll say 8/10 - Cons: -Not a huge amount of feedback in controllers when hitting the beats (don't get the umph) ...

Bought this game after not winning the contest on Reddit, sigh. Still was very excited to try the game, and it is definitely a great game. Was very easy to pick up and start playing. The song selection was superb, I could find everything I wanted quickly. It has a genre feature which was useful for when I didn’t want to search youtube for a song. I started out on featherweight, which to be honest, at that difficulty the beat matching wasn’t perfect. But when I moved up to the higher difficulty levels they were spot on. The game gets very challenging on the higher difficulty and the dodge mechanic is really fun. Airplay mode was awesome! I was able to stream my favorite radio stations on Spotify with having to stop and select new songs. Pros: -Easy to get started -Good beat detection on higher difficulties -Airplay Mode -Dodge mechanic is really fun Cons: -Beat detection could be a little better at lowest difficulty

Game gives you a work out! Even on easy! Make sure you stretch almost pulled a muscle dodging. Punching and dodging to music of your choice is fun! Not bad for first release. I'm sure suggestions can help improve this game! I would recommend this! Having an ability to choose a background scene be cool!

The game would not allow me to play a single song, ive tried the youtube music stream and It would not give me any options to even play at all.

Terrible game, do not buy! Not worth the money by any means! 9 out of 10 times i try to play this it gives me a not responding sign as soon as a try to play a song if not sooner. The main reason we got this over audio shield is because it claims you can use spotify, well i suppose its possible, technically? but it takes some serious effort to make that actually happen! come to find out you have to download some program such as airfoil and use it to connect to a bluetooth or wifi device and use that to connect to the game, but i did all that and it still never connected! the game is of no use to me and a waste of 12 bucks!

I like this game - if you like boxing music games with local music file support this games does the job. If you want a music boxing game that you're not rooted to the spot facing the same direction throughout then this game is for you. The game still has a few little niggles which WILL need to be addressed as I touched upon in the game's discussion board. If these little niggles are addressed, and the game continously improves, then this game could become one of the best music boxing/hitting games for the Vive. EDIT: A few months down the line edit: I liked this game then and I like it even more now - I've played many more offline hours than my online hr record shows. The updates have improved the game and it's now my number 1 music beat/box/punch/whack/hit game for my Vive. The game is well worth the fair price it is for sale at.

This game is crazy entertaining. When it first came on my headset it literally had me giggling as I was flailing my arms around to punch and dodge my way through the first song. Think Guitar Hero for your entire body. I could definitely play this for hours, though I do recommend wearing comfortable clothes - it'll get you moving! I've played AudioShield, but it doesn't compare. The dodging aspect is a new and interesting twist, and I like that the game keeps you moving around the "ring." The fact that you can pick just about any song off YouTube is really cool, but as a particularly indecisive person, it took me a while to get through the song selection part. Airplay mode was a lifesaver, as it allowed me to stream my favorite station on Spotify and just play song after song without having to stop and choose. Overall great game and on the cheaper end for VR.

This could very well be the best rhythm-game in VR. Why? Because you can literally play any song you want. I used airplay mode to play a continuous stream of my favorite music from my iPhone for 30 minutes straight.Genre selection and a recently played section makes navigating easy and minimizes the time you have to spend selecting music. The gameplay was great too. The dodging is cool, you really work up a sweat on the high difficulties, and the multi-color mode was a sweet feature. The game is also the only rhythm game I’ve played so far that is 360 degrees, which makes the game more immersive. I’ll give it a 10/10 when there are more arenas, but the multi-color mode, dodging, 360 boxing, and ability to play any song out of the box earns Beat Boxer a 9/10.
