Description: Bounce is a VR physics-based puzzle game for the HTC Vive and Oculus Touch. Under the supervision of H8-Bit and 2Bit, two robots tasked with overseeing the security of the intergalactic spaceship, players must help D1G-B, their spherical robot companion, traverse levels using an array of gadgets at their disposal to exit each level’s portal. With moving obstacles, laser gates, gravity wells, and multi-floor levels obstructing the path of D1G-B, players will have to use their creativity to construct solutions.
Review: Physics puzzle games like Bounce have been done a hundred different ways in VR already, but that doesn’t stop Bounce from being a great game. It’s well made, fun to play and could only really exist in VR. I really like the simplistic controls that are easy to get to grips with, but I have to say that I found some of the rooms a little claustrophobic. This is a game you can spend hours in and while I would have liked this game to be a little cheaper, I still think it just about offers you your money’s worth.
