Constructive Media Releases Australian Rules Football-Inspired VR Game

For Australian rules football, the handpass in a necessary skill to have. It’s when a player hold the ball in one hand and punches it with the other.

A new virtual reality game created by Constructive Media called Handpass VR will test the accuracy of player’s handpasses with moving targets in a variety of environments including a stadium, a space station and TV studio.

So far, the game has two game modes: Time Attack, where players will have 60 seconds to score as many points as they can, and Survival where each hit adds time. New game modes are expected to be released in the near future.

To start a new game, you hit the red button and ball will be thrown your way. To catch or pick up the ball hold the trigger on the controls and then use your other hand to swing and punch it towards the targets.

To play, gamers will also need an HTC Vive headset.
