REDspace releases Gunball on Oculus Rift
Halifax, Canada (August 9, in the year of our Lord
2017) - REDspace announces the release of Gunball,
their VR sports/shooter hybrid experience, for Oculus Rift
through Steam at a cost of $14.99.
The wacky and action-packed game was initially released for HTC
Vive in June. Since then, players all over the world have been
enjoying the fun and immersive VR gaming experience.
“We’ve been thrilled with the response to Gunball, from both new
VR users and pros,” says Jeremy McCurdy, Gunball Game Designer
and Games Technical Lead at REDspace. “Our goal was always to
create a fun experience that would appeal and entertain
everyone, while also allowing them to see just how awesome VR
is.”
Similar to tennis, players serve up balls but instead of
striking them with rackets they shoot the colorful balls with
guns, rocketing them high into the air. Using this unique yet
intuitive mechanic, competitors are placed in the center of a
vibrant 3D arena where they participate in timed rounds. The
goal is to shoot balls into goal rings for points as quickly and
accurately, accumulating the highest score possible before time
expires. Do you aim for the closer, easier ones or aim for the
higher scoring targets – it’s all about how you want to play!
The game features two themed environments – “Stadium,” an
audience packed sports arena, and the explosive “Rainbow
Volcano” – each with five different goal ring layouts featuring
varying obstacles per environment. Compete against friends and
other Gunballers around the globe!
Gunball is an easy game to pick up and play, making it the
perfect first-time experience for players new to VR. However,
even seasoned VR pros will find Gunball is deep and intense,
allowing players to immerse themselves in the experience and
pull off insane trick shots on the way to racking up the highest
scores in the world and earning top spots on global
leaderboards.
Developed and self-published by REDspace, Gunball is available
via Steam.
