Description: BLARP! is a fun-filled physics game build for the HTC Vive. Built as an exploration into novel game mechanics for the new medium of VR, BLARP! uses our intuitive understanding of motions and physics to create an active/addictive experience that is playable by anyone who has ever swung a racket, played with a yoyo, or held a rope.

Review: If you want a high-end game or at the very least some deep gameplay BLARP! is not the app for you. This is a sort of physics exercise and more a little bit of interactive fun and weirdness than anything else. It reminds me of a lot of the classic game of snake, but only nowhere near as much fun. Look, this is not supposed to be an award-winning game, it is someone trying something different in VR and that should be applauded. Just don’t expect anything more than that and you should be fine.
