CanBoom VR is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The PC port is VR exclusive and yet lacks any depth at all. This is a basic static shooter, you shoot stuff at cans in a virtual carnival shooting gallery. That's all there is to this. Wolfenstein 3D had greater depth in the 1990's, but this is what the mobile app developers come to the PC table with this century. What a joke. Well, I've said it before, mobile app devs continue to make gaming worse for everyone.

User Reviews
The game is almost good. Hit boxes need improved. I often have a round where I loose 4 or 5 shots because I shoot the ball through the same can over and over again, without it registering as a hit.
