Do you want to shoot snowballs at bratty kids? Are you feeling like the grinch who stole Christmas? Then you might be interested in this GAZE stand still/seated wave shooter. But nobody wants a stand still gaze shooting wave shooter, right? So why am I saying YES on the recommendation? Well for starters, It's currenly on sale for only .98 cents. Secondly, it has really cool wintery effects, powerups, and strategy involved. It's very easy to run out of ammo, so you have to shoot the bells to get more snowballs. Also, there's powerups you can shoot to even the odds. There's several types of kids who behave differently. There's flying kids, fat kids, kids who hide behind cover. You have to dodge the snowballs coming at you and also prevent the kids from walking up to you. When you get hit by a snowball, your vision decreases. When a storm hits, the kids can hide more easily. The big minus on this game is that shooting/aiming feels awful for the most part. It's gaze aiming and it just never feels right or like it follows the laws of physics. It would have been awesome if we manually aimed this snowball gun/cannon with our motion controllers or if we just threw these…

It's a simple VR experience, but fun. Only problem I had with it would be when the rockets were coming down from either directly above or above and behind. My neck only bends so far.

Man this game keeps you busy great fun. The best part is shooting them with your headgear not gun. Fast paced I could play this all night.

Fire snowballs at waves of approaching kids/elves by gazing at them. Make sure not to run out of ammo, or your snowball turret's rate-of-fire slows waaaaay down. Only played for about ten minutes, but it looks like there's some level progression... already came across flying kids with jetpacks. Seems easy enough to keep them back, but every once in a while they get the drop on you and you need to physically dodge the incoming snowball. Yikes! Simple, kid friendly shooter. Look at that price... easily worth that! Thumbs: UP! Update December 2024: Hey, I beat this game while re-visiting it for the holidays this year. The ending is strange and involves a monster house. Had fun while playing again. Still thumbs: UP!
Not recommended Mar 21, 2018
I currently do not recommend because of the lack of motion controller support and head aiming. If they add in the option for motion controllers I would recommend.

This game is a snowball fight surprise. So much fun

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.
