Cheered on by a spectacle of animated characters penned, inked, and colored by renowned animator Chris Prynoski himself, you are a beast in a metal cage charged with destroying round after round of dubiously fragile household objects, shiny new tableware and phosphorescent toilet bowls. The velocity, angle, and impact direction of every swing matters, as does the joint-smoking moon who grants you a charge of energy via your razor-barbed baseball bat. Every round brings surprises, from collapsing floors to time-dilation tactics, to bonus rounds with an aggrieved projectile-launching octopus. At the very end, see how you compare with your peers via local and global leaderboards, a call to return to do better next time.

The guiding philosophy that we’d adopted for all our VR experiences was to always maintain that you’re having a ‘conversation’ with the digital space. So all interactions needed to be clear, messaged, reactive, and fluid. Swinging an object to hit and therefore ‘interact’ with something is a very rudimentary, intuitive action; and this worked to our benefit to create an experience that was immediately fun, clear, and understandable to folks of all demographics and interests.
