Description: Armed with a firework rocket launcher, you must defend your temples from hordes of snake like creatures. The snakes come from another dimension with one aim in mind, to destroy temples and harness the energy of your world. But these creatures have a weakness, fireworks!

Defend 14 levels spanning a variety of landscapes from mist covered mountain tops, snowy peaks, and exotic waterfalls. Be treated with your personal firework show as each level is cleared. Choose the right firework for the job. Match the firework colour with the snake colour and inflict a chain reaction of damage. Motion comfort can be tweaked to your liking. Teleportation can be immediate or movement can be experienced as you travel from point to point.

Review: VormHoles is a pretty basic looking shooter that sees you trying to stop evil alien worms from destroying your temple. sadly your only weapon is fireworks, but you do at least have an unlimited supply of them. This game has a retro feel and style to it that does make me feel nostalgic for games like Centipede and other 8-Bit shooters, but in terms of VR experience I have to say it’s not up to much at all and at times can feel a little frustrating to play and also it gets boring very quickly indeed. If you love your shooter games, enjoy retro gaming and you are willing to give a new developer a go, this might be up your street, but for most of us its best avoided or picked up in a super-sale for pennies.
