Virtual Ricochet

[h1]Experienced on the Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/yNbJfuG5vGE Virtual Ricochet is an interesting game as it has elements of your standard racketball game in VR mixed with a shooter. You teleport from floating platform to floating platform, dodge projectiles, return service on balls where you have to match color and shoot flying drones where you have to match the color. You have a laser gun or scatter gun on one hand and a racket on the other. You can upgrade your weapons and your health. The game starts easy enough, then gets progressively harder as you have more floating platforms and more enemies. However, there's only 8 levels, with 2 difficulties (normal and hard). It took me approximately 1 hour to get to level 7, before things got just a tad too difficult. Unfortunately, the difficulty only comes from more enemies and more platforms to have to move to or away from. The gameplay never really evolves, even with the upgrades. The game should feel fast-paced and action packed, but instead it feels more slow and plodding. The UI is ugly and weapon and enemy models look blocky. There's just an overall clunkiness to the…

What is the game where you lock yourself in a room to hit a ball really hard & hope it doesn't hit you in the face? Racketball? It's like that but with lazerbeams, laser guns & shooty drones in space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idPsFLpC3do&t=216s&pp=sAQA

"Virtual Ricochet" was a tremendous failure from game developers who did not ask the most important question before hammering out video game code... "Is this a good idea?" If they had, perhaps we wouldn't be here now. Doing a postmortem on a VR exclusive ripoff of Atari's (and the world's) first arcade game, Pong. But with ugly low poly neon "art". Ugh. I wonder why it failed? Hah. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly "neon art" 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging an eye watering $15 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the g…

Very well optimised game, I just have skill issues.

16 minutes in the game and I love it

Игра "Virtual Ricochet" – это неожиданно увлекательная аркада, которая затягивает своей простотой и в то же время сложностью. Сначала кажется, что просто стреляешь шариком и разбиваешь блоки, но очень скоро понимаешь, что геометрия и умение предсказывать рикошеты – ключ к победе. Геймплей очень плавный и отзывчивый, а физика поведения шарика реалистична и предсказуема, что позволяет выстраивать сложные стратегии. Разнообразие уровней радует – каждый из них представляет собой уникальную головоломку, требующую нестандартного подхода. Отдельно стоит отметить приятный минималистичный визуальный стиль, который не отвлекает от игрового процесса. Поначалу может показаться немного однообразной, но по мере прохождения открываются новые возможности и бонусы, которые значительно расширяют геймплей. Игра идеально подходит для коротких перерывов и позволяет быстро расслабиться, но будьте осторожны – легко увлечься на несколько часов! В общем, "Virtual Ricochet" – отличный выбор для любителей аркадных головоломок, требующих точности и стратегического мышления. Рекомендую!
