A game of skill, Racket: Nx focuses on spatial awareness, motor control and reflexes. Also on outer space.

*<strong>Spatial Awareness</strong> - this is the first game to feature Waves Nx 3D audio technology. In Racket: Nx, you're not going to be staring in any one direction for long. Targets can appear anywhere around you and the ball is rarely still. Good orientation is key. With Waves Nx, audio plays a major role in directing your attention, giving you a constant sense of your environment and immersing you in virtual space.*<strong>Motor Control and Reflexes</strong> - Racket: Nx's physics are intuitive and finely tuned. It will take you no time to start playing. You'll quickly improve, discovering more control in your motion and swings. But no matter how long you play, you'll always be able to get better. There is always room for more nuance.*<strong>Outer Space</strong> - if you're reading this, you already know VR is cool. Racket: Nx makes a point of this by throwing you to different places around the universe surrounded by a psychedelic sci-fi light-show of colors and sounds to play with. Want?

&quot;This is the first game I played where I actually almost forgot that I was in VR&quot;
The demo features the solo 'Infinite Training' mode: On the hexagonal bricks of your arena's walls, patterns of targets appear with sounds, lights and colors. Hitting the right targets with the ball buys you more time and score. But the targets aren't always friendly, nor idle. They change in random waves as you play, increasing in difficulty and speed. Eventually, the timer will reach zero and explode, but you can always push the bar a tiny bit higher!

Racket: Nx is a VR App.

Description

Racket: Nx is what we call an Arcade Space Sport. Imagine playing racquet-ball in a 360 arena, with classic arcade-style game rules and influences. Now put that arena in outer space and you've got RNX!

"It is, fundamentally, a game about hitting things with other things and not since Wii Tennis have I felt so excited about such a simple premise." - Road To VR

"My pizza burned in the oven, because i forgot about it while playing this game..." - Tumult

"This is the first game I played where I actually almost forgot that I was in VR" - Failinbad</i>

RNX is a game of skill. It's all about landing that clutch shot that saves you from the timer, or nailing that perfect streak that wins you the match. It's about flow; being in the zone, pushing your skills and sweating it out.

To that extent, Racket: Nx is the first game to use Waves' Nx 3D audio technology. This tech does high quality realtime positional audio simulation, substantially easing your immersion and allowing you to rely on your ears to tell you what's where.

Ultimately, our vision is to create the first eSport for VR. That means making the physics tight and precise, encouraging you to always push the bar and improve your game. It means giving our all to the audio-visuals, making the game fun to play and to watch. It means introducing game elements that adds drama and make competitive games nail-biting, skill based and tactical. And above all, it means nurturing our community and treating our players with respect and honesty.

We're very excited about all this, and we're just getting started.

Please enjoy responsibly! (No, really. Be careful not to hit stuff when you play.)
