❤ Gameplay Overview

The premise of this game puts players in control of a pair of rocket-powered roller skates. Using natural body movements like squatting and waving their arms, players propel themselves forward at high speeds down mountain roads.

❤ Diverse Game Modes

In addition to the standard downhill racing, the game offers several unique gameplay modes: "Time to Rage" arms players with a baseball bat in one hand and a rocket booster in the other, challenging them to destroy targets along the course. "Aim and Shoot" gives players a rocket booster in one hand and a gun in the other, requiring precision aiming and shooting at enemies and obstacles. "Rocket Rush" doubles the rocket power, providing players with two boosters for an even more intense, high-speed experience. These varied modes provide different challenges and ways to experience the core rocket skating mechanics.

❤ Intuitive VR Controls

Reviewers praise the game's intuitive VR control scheme, which leverages natural body movements. Players use squatting and arm waving to control their speed and direction, finding it an immersive and enjoyable control method once they adapt to it. The ability to physically turn and move their bodies is highlighted as an important part of the VR experience, adding to the sense of presence.

❤ Sense of Speed and Physicality

One of the standout aspects of the gameplay is the exhilarating sense of speed provided by the rocket boosters. Players frequently remark on the thrilling acceleration and the courses' emphasis on steep downhill sections. Many also note the physical nature of the experience, with the squat-and-swing controls leading to a good workout. The game succeeds in offering an engaging, active VR experience that gets the player's body involved.

❤ Room for Improvement

While the core gameplay loop is fun, some areas could use refinement: the rocket booster sensitivity can make control feel overly slippery at times, the environments lack variety, mostly consisting of straight mountain road courses, the sound design is underdeveloped, with missing or unsatisfying sound effects, and the menus and options are bare-bones, limiting customization and accessibility.
