About City Breaker
City Breaker is a VR physics-destruction game focused around destroying large-scale physics structures like skyscrapers.
Currently, the game is centered around throwing blocks at buildings to knock them down. Your throws are scaled up in power depending on the block, so you're able to throw 90 pound blocks at about 400 miles per hour and watch as they rip through the side of a building and cause the entire thing to collapse. Every level is hand crafted, and as you progress, you'll begin seeing realistic physics-based rockets, skyships, turrets, and even ragdoll human-like creatures
The game is in Early Access. Currently, there are several awesome features (AI-controlled skyships, for example) that aren't available because they cause a lot of lag. For example, when I built a Nuclear Reactor level and set it off, the resulting lag from the 10,000 physics collisions happening at once dropped the frame rate to around 30. That should never happen in VR, so that level and other potentially broken items are also not in the game.
(The game runs great, by the way: If you have a 1080 you should never have a framerate below 144. I wanted this game to run as smoothly as Beat Saber and to a large extent, it does).
The game is going to get better over time. Advanced turrets, ragdolls, and AI-controlled skyships are all in the works: I just need to optimize them. There will also be two more game modes included with the next update, Rampage (infinite procedural levels) and Archery (where you shoot down buildings with explosive arrows).

✦ AI summary
City Breaker is praised for its intuitive and satisfying destruction mechanics, with accessible gameplay that's easy to learn but challenging to master, making it fun and addictive for VR players of all experience levels. Players appreciate the rewarding physics, relaxing nature of the destruction-focused gameplay, and solid value for the price, though some note the game feels basic and would benefit from future expansion and updates to become a more substantial title.
This game serves as an impressive look into the potential of VR entertainment. The core game mechanics of throwing different blocks that have unique effects in order to destroy structures are very fun and intuitive. Obviously, the game needs to be expanded upon in the future, but as it is right now, City Breaker is really fun and it excites me for the future of this game and of VR.2 found this helpful
A fun delve into the mindless of destruction of inanimate objects - City Breaker is a great little time killer. There's a decent amount of content and it can be quite challenging at times. Whilst not your full scale, mind-blowing title it's still a little gem - and one to treasure at that!1 found this helpful
City Breaker is a great VR game! Its mechanics are pretty easy to grasp (many of my family members who tried the game had an easy time with it), but relatively difficult to master. The game feels rewarding to play, and it's just a lot of fun! Definitely a good purchase for anyone with a VR headset, although make sure you're ready to throw stuff! :D1 found this helpful
Love it
Awesome! Love the Destructive physics
I have played only a little bit of this game and I have to say while basic it is a very fun a kind of addictive game. it has great physics, cool but basic visuals, and for some odd reason it relaxes me. I think for the price it is a great addition to anyone's VR library. PS: I've heard the game is getting a big update soon, so look out for that in the near future.
