About Lazerbait
Lazerbait is a free arcade strategy game set in virtual reality with one simple goal: capture all the planets to build more ships and destroy your enemies!
The player is presented with a god-like perspective of a system of planets. Each planet that a player owns will produce ships over time. Using the motion controllers, the player can direct their fleet of ships from planet to planet in attempt to capture as many planets as possible. The more planets a player owns, the more ships the player can produce. Eventually players can build up fleets of many hundreds of ships that lead to awesome massive space battles.
The player is challenged by up to 7 A.I. characters in free-for-all style who are also working hard to capture all the planets and eliminate their enemies. The game is highly configurable allowing players to choose the game speed, map size, ship limits, number of A.I. players, and A.I. difficulty. Maps are procedurally generated at random for each game played so no two games will ever be the same.
Global stats and leaderboards are kept over time for the total number of ships destroyed and the total number of A.I. players defeated at each difficulty setting.

Somehow it makes tiny colored triangles and balls stressful. 10/10 recommend, it's simple and straightforward without bells and whistles. Don't need to move around the room, can sit down and just move your hands to navigate through the map. It's strangely compelling and next thing you know your headset is dead and it's been an hour.
Lazerbait is a virtual reality strategy title created by Taylor Stapleton that focuses on large-scale fleet warfare while stripping real-time strategy gameplay down to its most essential ideas. Rather than building an experience around extensive economic systems or complicated unit management, the game centers itself around territorial expansion, battlefield awareness, and rapid decision-making. The result is a streamlined strategy experience that remains easy to understand while still offering enough tactical depth to keep players invested over multiple sessions. Set across minimalist space battlefields, Lazerbait places players in command of planetary expansion efforts where victory depends on controlling territory and overwhelming rival forces. Each captured planet continuously strengthens military production, creating a cycle where expansion directly fuels future opportunities. Success comes from balancing offensive momentum with defensive awareness while constantly evaluating where resources and fleets should be deployed. The gameplay structure embraces simplicity immediately. Instead of overwhelming players with complex menus or dozens of resource types, the game introduces…
Very fun strategy game. Took me a second to figure out how the controls work, but it works very well for what it is.
It needs multiplayer
Игра Lazerbait - это динамичный и захватывающий аренный шутер, который заставляет игроков постоянно двигаться и адаптироваться. Простая концепция - уклоняться от лазеров и уничтожать соперников - реализована на удивление увлекательно. Плюсы игры: * Быстрый и напряженный геймплей. * Разнообразные арены с уникальными особенностями. * Возможность кастомизации персонажа. * Приятный визуальный стиль и музыкальное сопровождение. Минусы: * Небольшое количество режимов игры. * Отсутствие сюжетной кампании может оттолкнуть некоторых игроков. * Может быстро наскучить при игре в одиночку. В целом, Lazerbait - это отличный выбор для любителей быстрых и динамичных аренных шутеров, желающих весело провести время с друзьями. Несмотря на некоторые недостатки, игра предлагает увлекательный геймплей и достойную реиграбельность. Рекомендую!
