Description: Slum Ball is a physics-based paddle ball game with an objective to collect as many points as possible. Slum Ball is a fun way to exercise and gain coordination without even realizing it! It features photorealistic levels, awesome tournaments, fun combined with physical activity & changing gameplay and physics.
Review: What happens when you cross the Garbage Pail Kids with Arkanoid then chuck them both in VR? You end up with Slum Ball. This is an odd game for sure, but at its heart, it is a simple brick-breaker game like many other VR games that have gone before it. But this is not one I feel I can recommend. It’s so shallow, repetitive and lacking in gameplay that you will soon find yourself getting bored of it. Throw this on with an inaccurate flip-flop as a bat and you have yourself a rather frustrating game to play. But if you should see this in a sale, do consider getting it, especially if you like retro gaming as this might well have a level of nostalgia for you that it didn’t have for me.
