The video game, a multiplayer paddle ball game, was released for the HTC Vive. In the game, players face off in head-to-head matches, which combines elements of racquetball, pinball and soccer, but with a futuristic, cyber-reality twist. The game was built with tournament-style matches in mind and gives VR gamers a venue for multiplayer competition in real time.
