Extremely sluggish and unresponsive.Besides that, it has huge problems with the controls over all.Started it the first time with only my 360 controller connected, registered one button push and then did not accept any more input. Restarted with the Vive controllers turned on, took me a while to figure out how to turn on the pointer.It worked but it just does not feel right to play with the controllers, you just use both trackpads like sticks.Restarted again and connected my Steam Controller, worked for one round then went dead and did not accept input anymore. The 3D effects in VR are rudimentary, it looks more like a big 2D screen projection. I should not be this harsh on a 0.9\u20ac game but this is no fun at all and barely playable.. For $.99 this game is what it should be: a bite sized chunk of the old school twin stick arcade shooters.Enemy variation and weapon upgrades are nice and the global and friend scoreboards keep me playing. Three button presses from launching game to getting into the action. Quick, addictive, challenging. Great game to play at work!. I didn't have high expectations going into this game, but I like twin stick shooters, and a budget one designed for VR was hard to pass up. Well, unfortunately, I should've passed it up. Even without the VR, this game has issues. It controls very poorly, In VR there are a whole new batch of problems though. First off, yeah, it's a VR title, but it's little more than small 3D sprites placed on a 2D plane like billboard. It's like watching a 2D movie with a 3D headset in a 3D movie theater. I guess technically, the sprites are 3D, but they're so small and distant, and constrained to the same 2D plane that it's effectively pointless. Then there are other hallmarks of a poorly made product. The game always starts behind me in 3D. Meaning I have to turn around before I start the game up and then rotate again to where I want to sit, once the game is up and running. That's something that EASILY could've been fixed in testing. I cannot recommend this game, even at it's low price. I would've really enjoyed a simple asteroids clone with some cheap 3D explosions for a couple of hours, but I got frustrated with this one after only a couple of minutes.. I would not recommend this because it is not a VR game. I bought this to play in VR but it is just the regular 2-D game but you look at it in VR. The game isn't even that great but for a VR game it would be good if done right, and it's so close. All that needs to be done is instead of having the ship loop back around top to bottom and left to right when it goes out of bounds, just wrap the entire play space in a sphere!!!! Have enemies spawn on the opposite hemisphere of the ship and you can look with VR while still controling the exact same game. Huge dissappointment to see a game just one step away from being really cool.
