Right oh, so hands down my favourite game so far!
Been tickling it for a while but decided to get serious with it the past couple of weeks and beat my friends scores.

Personally i love arcade shooters and would really like to see some rime crisis style games in vr. The acuracy and movement is there so it makes sense!

So for anyone who has not heard of the game, you stand on a platform and take on waves of ball shaped drones (portal style robots). Put your hand over your back and pull it out to get a sheild (can be both/either hand). Roll your thumb around the touch pad to change firing style: single shot bullet, double shot burst, rapid fire, rail gun (needs to be held down to charged) and continous laser type thing (cross the streams or place one gun infront of the other for a bigger more powerful beam).
Options allow a graphic change, looks the same whatever and runs good too. Change crosshairs, these seem to light up green when you have a shot on target. Then you can change the angle that the guns fire, quite useful for fine tuning how you hold/use the controllers.

I tend to reach wave 12 or so from just spinning on the spot but since moving the vive into a bigger room i can go all john woo and pretend to be a total badass (yeah right!) which allows more movement to avoid being shot.
Went from getting 5-8k to 12k then jumped all the way to 20k by alternating tactics and sheilds etc..
20k was with single shot dual pistol swapping to sheild for some of the crazy waves.

Anyways, feel free to put your scores up here and have total bragging rights for being so awesome.

A huge update today!
It has transformed from a demo to game, well almost.
Supersampling and AA options in menu is so good to have. Can add fog or take it away. Wave selection for 5 10 and 15. Classic and hardcore mode, party mode (i think this is what the game was originally)
New guns! A shotgun and a grenade launcher which is a bit of a game changer to clear clusters.
Bonus items, machine gun, a dome shield and a blackhole style think that pulls all the enemies together for easy shooting.
Different enemies too and the sheild can be switched to a baton than can work like a whip?! Not too sure on the benefits of that yet, just seemed to grab the ones that were about to shoot and then throw them.
So my favourite game on vr just got loads better, see what you early adopters think. Its great to see the visual settings appearing since it transforms the look and feel of the game.
