This is a really great concept combining Jenga and Tetris in VR. I really wanted to like this game but terrible throwing physics make it frustrating to play. *****At the time of this review, I had played for about an hour. I got so annoyed by the throwing I quit playing.*****
The good
  • Giant tower of bricks you get to physically move and try not to topple over.
  • Unique brick types. I really like the gators that make your hand temporary unusable if it bites you.
  • Fast paced and chaotic
The bad
  • Throwing is very frustrating and the physics are completely off. You have to throw frozen bricks a circling birds to unfreeze them, but I found it almost impossible to properly aim these bricks or get enough distance no matter how hard I threw or what angle I threw it at. This is a big part of the gameplay and my frustrations with it have lead me to quit playing out of anger.
