Great fun as a local multiplayer game, especially for showcasing VR to friends.
The game is free and provides a good laugh for short play sessions.
The concept of asymmetric gameplay is engaging, allowing for unique interactions between VR and non-VR players.

The game suffers from balance issues, heavily favoring the non-VR player once they learn the mechanics.
Limited content with only one hero, one boss, and one stage, leading to quick repetition.
Controls and mechanics are not well explained, making it difficult for new players to understand.

The gameplay offers around 10 minutes of fun for each couple, but it lacks depth in mechanics, particularly during boss encounters. Players suggest the addition of varied boss styles, hero classes, and more interactive arena elements to enhance the experience. Overall, while the mechanics are solid and entertaining against friends, there is room for improvement in complexity and variety.
- “Mechanics are solid, graphics decent, and the entertainment value of playing against a friend is high.”
- “Especially boss mechanics like being able to destroy parts of the arena (a limited amount of it) and other stuff.”
- “More boss style mechanics like stages (like getting access to more abilities later), a few different kinds of bosses, and a few classes for the hero (like a tanky character that can't be picked up, a speedy character, and a low damage character using mines as primary damage).”
- “There's about 10 minutes of gameplay here, per couple playing.”
- “It is fun, but lacking mechanics, especially on the boss.”
- “More boss style mechanics like stages (like getting access to more abilities later), a few different kinds of bosses, and a few classes for the hero (tanky for example that can't be picked up, less jumps, etc. a speedy boy like the one in the game, a less speedy but low damage using the mines as primary damage, etc).”
