Asteroid Blaster VR

Played the demo for a long time and purchased it once it went on sale. You can play waves which end after you destroy a predetermined number of asteroids or an arcade mode with endless asteroids. Using thrusters as your form of locomotion takes getting used to, but it's possible to master. In summary, it is super fun and well worth the retail price.

Cool lil game I keep coming back to

So I finally got to play this game, and sadly, I cannot recommend it. Graphics: billboard sprites that face you, and if you look at them at extreme angles and turn your head, you can watch them twist. Dev, go watch the dev comments on Alyx how Valve solved that. Controls: - You accelerate or decelerate in the direction of your view. You don't sit in a cockpit, your head has no neck to look around, nothing. Your head is your ship, deal with it. Even making the hand-slash-gun you're using for thrusting be the director would be loads better than this strict look-to-steer scheme. Catching items becomes a chore as course corrections require you to look AWAY from it while trying to hit it … how dumb is that?? - On Index, acceleration and deceleration are bound (by default) to grip. Enjoy unwanted thrusting and depleting your thruster fuel because in the heat of the action you grip a little tighter. While Ac and Dec are also mapped to buttons, the default grip assignment still sours things. It can probably be unmapped, but by now I've lost interest to look. Tutorials: - That's not a tutorial, that's just a manual reading simulator. It's text floating in space the player must read and also look around to learn what's shown. It could hardly be any worse if it was a print-out manual the player had to have open while donning the headset. GUI: - Just an ugly 2D-plane-style radar smack in the middle of your vision, nothing in the periphery. Also, big, ugly spidery button explanations on your guns (at least during tutorial) that you don't really look at unless you keep holding up your arms. The gauges often flicker unless looked at properly. Not sure why, can't be arsed to investigate. It's a nice and simple premise, I wish it wasn't left so terribly wanting.

Hard, Classic, Asteroids. Takes you back to time immemorial... The 70's! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nvth-kGtQ8

Attempting to get into the "Options" menu does not work. Is there a fix? This game has been out for 2 years now, and it seems that you've had plenty of time to work out any bugs. I wouldn't recommend this game in its' current form.

The best VR/3d asteroids option i've seen so far.

This is the best 5 bucks you will spend on entertainment - lots of fun.
