Rescuties VR
Here’s your chance to be a superhero. Rescuties VR puts you in a situation where you have to save babies and animals from dangerous situations such as a burning building or a dangerous spot on tree. At one point, you’ll even have to catch corgis or children from a fast moving car or in zero gravity at the International Space Station. You’ll also have power-ups that come in the form of food. You can eat pizza to stop time or consume a cupcake for more points. Just make sure to save as many adorable creatures or humans as possible.

Galaxy Golf
Think of mini-golf on a universal scale, and this is what you get. Obviously, you have to shoot the golf ball into the hole on the other side of the planet or another celestial body entirely. However, the game takes away the golf clubs, so you have to use your hands instead to pick up the ball and set its trajectory. By taking advantage of a planet’s gravitational field, you can manipulate the ball’s trajectory to the hole.

Windlands
If you wanted to zip across buildings like Spider-Man, this is your chance. However, Windlands has more of a calming experience compared to New York City. In this game, you use your grappling hook to traverse multiple platforms that are full of ruins. The primary goal is exploration, as you’re tasked to “discover the secrets of the ancients.” If you’re looking for a tougher challenge, the game will also include a time trial mode so you can compare your level completion times against other players around the world.

Pierhead Arcade
If you’re tired of wasting money on arcade games at your local Gameworks, you can opt for this virtual arcade. With “unlimited tokens” you can try your hand at bowling, skee ball, basketball, or whack-a-mole. Unfortunately, you can’t trade in your virtual tickets for any real-world prizes, but at least you can have an arcade in your living room.

Home Improvisation: Future Sandbox
The idea of a furniture-based sandbox game is strange, to be sure, but the title developed by The Stork Burnt Down also has some humor infused with the experience. You’re free to fill up your virtual home with the game’s catalog of furniture. However, there are no instructions for building each piece, so you’ll have to figure out how to build it (think of a somewhat more frustrating Ikea chair). Of course, you can choose to create your set of contraptions or structure with the parts provided. When you’re done, you can show it off to your friends online, or you can play with up to four players locally so you can all design the post-modern furniture of your dreams.

Fly To Kuma Maker
Fly To Kuma Maker is virtual reality puzzle game that takes advantage of the 6-degrees of freedom (6DoF) movement that Oculus Touch controllers allow. You must protect the Kuma bears and help them reach the goal marker. The Kuma bears can only move forward, and there’s always an obstacle in their path. Use various blocks to build a safe path for the Kuma bears. Fly to Kuma Maker also includes a level creation tool so you can build your own challenges and share them with the world.

Pulsar Arena
The team behind Proton Pulse Plus is also working on a rhythm game of its own. Pulsar Arena pits you against another player in head-to-head rhythm combat. You have to hit small spheres, called PolyBlocks, in time with the beat of the song to create combos. With each combo, you’ll try to overwhelm your opponent with a flurry of attacks and power-ups. Obviously, the first to lose track of the beat is defeated, so it seems that you’ll have to use quick reflexes as well as your ears to be victorious in the game’s virtual hourglass arena.
