My neck hurt like hell after 15 minutes

This game with controller support (Xbox controller preferably) would be a 5 stars. It is a very well made game that could be fun to play. But a human head was not designed to be used as a joystick and you neck will suffer a lot. It is also frustrating having to hold your head always in a certain orientation without any possibility to relax ever. If you relax your head only 1mm, the ball will fall and you will have to start again. With this much pain in my neck, it is a very frustrating experience. PS : I don't have any problem with my neck, I am in good shape. Another good game turned to disaster by horrible VR control because the DEV want to "innovate" instead of using what actually works.

Good Marble Roll game

I was really hoping there would be a good marble roll game in VR and this should have been it. The scenery and style is good enough but it really does need the option of controller. I've not played for very long yet but I feel that gaze control will not be accurate enough as the levels progress. Comfortable and relaxed environments but for the price could definitely be better than it is.

Very enjoyable

Very enjoyable and lots of fun. Reminds me of a futuristic Monkey Ball type game. Well worth buying.

Controls kill this game

Like most of these reviews have mentioned, controlling the ball using your head is just tedious and not fun. It's fine during the first levels but the later levels requiring precise movement are a chore. Another annoying thing to me is all the pop in graphics. Many elements don't appear until you are almost right on them. If this is a style choice, it us a bad one. This reminds me of old consoles like N64 that did not have the power to render all of the environment. Its distracting. Would like to give this a better score, and I would if motion controller support was added.

Virtual Marble Madness

Lots to love about this game (so far). The only thing I’d change: the option of using the Go controller as a motion controller to tilt-control the ball’s movement. Though the head nodding to move option works pretty well in the meantime.
