Namely, the incredibly wonky way some of the hands hit the balls. Other than the Midas ones. Otherwise, in the mini-game, the ball basically continually rolls along the walls of the tube. In the "classic" mode, It's not necessarily a terrible thing, but the way this game feels, lining up a punch and watching the ball go careening off 20 degrees to the side reminds me of miscueuing while shooting billiards. Anyone who's ever done so knows that it's jarring and unpleasant, and it feels like a rogue element betwen you and your goal. The difference is, in billiards, you can chalk the stick and then make sure you make solid contact, and it won't happen again. In this game there's no rectifying it, so it feels sort of distracting and disorienting. Speaking of disorienting, the punch effects are amusing but maybe they should only pop on every 7th or 8th hit. With the boxing gloves I was basically blind when one of the yellow multi-balls popped up. Again, I'm not trying to suggest how one would optimize this game for competitive play or anything, but it significantly deducts from the initial feeling of precision and timing you need to play. Without a 10x multiplier the leaderboard is just for show, though right now I somehow made it on there.The game randomly spawns targets in every direction, which, if you have a Vive, you might already know this can be troublesome. If you don't pay attention, in one round you could end up spinning around enough to seriously wind your cables. Not to mention whipping around 180 degrees for those of us with the old 3-in-1 cable for your HMD. it's noticably cumbersome and tends to gently yank on your HMD when you spin around. Combined with trying to dodge the cable as you twirl about your play space, this is stressful. But I like the idea of a 360 degree playfield and mine is a minor gripe at best.It looks great, however, and on my system (6600k and 1080) it runs very well aside from crashing when I try to go to the menu. It doesn't take long to load, at all, though, so for right now I hope it's fixed but it's hardly a massive inconvenience. I can see this game becoming really fun with some fine-tuning here and there, overall though I'd say it's about a $5 title right now.. I was able to play the beta for a while and am very excited that the game is out!Myself and the kids both like this game quite a bit. Its a decent workout if you want it, an not too crazy and hectic.Unlocking gloves with new effects is a nice touch! The trailer doesn't give teh game justice, its addicting.Its nice to have a good game like SPT that you arent using guns where you just aim around, this you use your fists and can punch any direction so you can make it as much of a workout as you want, or just jump in and play.Very polished, fast, reliable.Great game!. Great arcade punching action. If you want to move around and build up a sweat in VR because of the crazy non-stop action , this game is awesome. Developer seems like he just wants to create an amazing game , and that's great news. I love games that get you moving and dodging around your room scale area, they are always the most fun VR games. I can't wait try the latest update and see what else the developer can come up with.. Easily one of the best workouts you can have in VR, I really like this game... It's got great presentation and is a simple enough concept that anyone can give it a go... highly recommended!. This Arcade game of the future.is super fun and the style to it is superb. I love how there are 2 main modes and a 3rd mode that's in development but at least something the devs let you try. It is way fun. It's a challenge in the game modes, but what a way to use the VR setup to a great extenxt. Even though this is in Early Access, I feel like it's polished and very solid of a game. Again, presentation style is, in my opinion, extremely well done. It's awesome, and cheaper than games with much less to offer than this. I was not disappointed but instead wway impressed when I played the demo, I had to buy in to the game . I feel the devs deserve my $, and at such a great price. Heck yeah! I return to this one often, especially trying to beat my previous scores.. Great game! For the low price it is definitely worth picking up. Fans of the "standing on a platform" style arcade games will enjoy this one (similar to A-10 VR). So addicting! I hope to see new environments and styles for the bombs. My only gripe is grav bomb mode is really frustrating. Classic is much better. The new fitness mode is great for practice and working up a sweat.. Best 5$ you'll spend on VR game. Totaly worth it!. + excellent workout+ game does't have you face the tv+ unlockable hands+ classic mode is the best mode+ only vr punching game ive seen- no way to pause gameplay- some of the targets are confusing- classic mode is the only good mode- music is just okay (can be disabled)- game says im a novice, not kung-fu master (clearly a bug)Suggestions for Devs:* more arena backgrounds for classic mode* more replayblity \/ variations for classic mode* more kickass gameplay. Great game - while I'm not really into the regular mode since I never know which way to face, I play the Grav Bomb version all the time. It's a good workout and has very addictive game mechanics.. This is one of the best high-energy \/ exercise games that exists for VR right now. It seems basic at first, but it's just so incredibly satisfying to punch these bombs! It's one of the few games that puts you in a sort of "flow state" that feels incredible. The haptics are really well done, everything looks nice, and there are some pretty fun customization options.I've only put a ton of time into the "classic" game mode. There are 2 others in development, but one of them is in a pretty early state. For classic mode, the scoring system is a bit unforgiving, and that can make going for high scores somewhat frustrating, but that seems like it could be fixed pretty easily. The developer nailed a fun gameplay loop. Even after 6 hours of play, I still come back to try to beat my score. I'd really recommend this game, even in its current early access state.
