About Winter Break

Winter Break is a family friendly VR game in which two teams of 5 players fight each other in a snowball fight.
The players face off for a dozen of minutes in a beautiful and cute winter park.

The player with the highest score will become the grand winner of the winter break!

FEATURES :
  • Adults & kids friendly game


    Winter Break is family and casual friendly: there’s no blood and the player character can’t die. In addition, some of the game mechanics help the youngest of us by providing them advantages to compete with the adults!
  • Casual PVP


    If you’re more entitled to compete against your friends and family, Winter Break provides a fun yet competitive experience thanks to its scoring system and the aiming skills it requires.
  • Winter amusement park


    The action takes place in a cartoony wintery amusement park with many different activities to choose from! In addition to shooting other players, there are plenty of mini-challenges: from ‘whack-a-mole’ to the golden snitch.
  • Snowball slingshot


    Fully fledged and reactive slingshot to throw snowballs at your opponents!
  • Fully developed for VR


    Winter Break has been fully developed for VR from the ground up, using scientific research to back up the design decisions.
  • No motion sickness


    Winter Break provides a completely immersive VR experience without motion sickness. (note: Some people might be experiencing motion sickness for other reasons than gameplay)
  • Highly polished gamefeel


    From interacting with objects to using slingshot, all of the actions you perform and activities you take part in have been highly polished to feel and sound like a satisfying, fun and cute toy.
  • Size adaptability


    Dodging enemy snowball is based on your real body. If you crouch, you’re likely to evade that pesky snowball heading towards your face. But what if you’re the tallest man on Earth? No worries! The game provides a size adaptation feature that makes all players even!
  • Accessibility


    Winter Break has been designed to be played in a 180 degree radius in front of the player and allow sit-gaming. This makes persons with disabilities able to play and enjoy the game like anyone else!

Not recommended Feb 20, 2026
If you can convince your friends to all buy this, then maybe I could recommend it for you. However, for everyone else I would say do NOT buy. Nobody is playing this. Zero players online. You can NOT play against bots. There are no bots. Single player is only target practice. It's okay if you're into that. I got bored after less than 5 minutes. Rate 4/10.

This games is ideal for small kids and casual players. No configuration necessary and easy explainable for kids. My kid is 5 years old could play it alone. Works with Oculus Quest and Virtual Desktop so no cable necessary. Controls are intuitive. You can start to play in a second. It is a game which you play from to time to time for 5 minutes. Suggestions for improvements: - add support to throw snowball with hands to hit targets at the moment I can only throw a snowball 1m. - add KI adversary - add some funny reactions - ...

Winter Break is a lighthearted multiplayer VR game that transforms classic childhood snowball fights into a colorful and energetic virtual reality experience. Developed and published by RyseUp Studios, the game focuses on casual team-based competition set inside a snowy amusement park filled with arcade-style activities, playful combat mechanics, and family-friendly charm. Instead of emphasizing realism or intense tactical gameplay, the experience is designed around accessibility, physical interaction, and fast-paced winter fun that can be enjoyed by players of all ages. The gameplay revolves around online snowball battles where players use slingshots to launch snowballs at opponents while avoiding incoming attacks through real-world movement. The VR mechanics create an immersive sense of physical participation because players must actively duck, lean, and dodge to survive during matches. Throwing snowballs manually with motion controls feels surprisingly satisfying, especially during frantic moments where players scramble for cover while trying to land accurate shots on opponents. The simple controls make the game easy to learn almost immediately, allowing even inexperienced VR u…
