But it’s boring. Same thing over and over again. Plus the gun sounds are extremely annoying ### 3/5 — Good idea, need smoother execution. *2016-01-24* The ads at the beginning mess up the VR - if it's a vertical ad the game gets stuck in vertical mode and you have to quit to restart. Also, it defaults to autofire (which is annoying) and the only way to take it off autofire is to remove it from the viewing device. Then when you finish the round it switches back to autofire. You also need to open the viewer to close the ad as well. Otherwise a good idea! I would play it a lot if a compromise with the ads was reached and the menu was more compatible with VR. ### 4/5 — Nice! *2015-11-25, version 1.0* Definitely the best cardboard vr game so far. Worth the price ### 5/5 — Fun! *2015-11-22, version 1.0* The graphics in this game are really good. I like the way that there is an option to either auto fire or use the button to fire. A few recommendations would be to only have the targeting reticle in one eye because it is hard to make it properly converge with both eye, make the image fully stretch to the edges of the screen and allow the trigger shoot option "stick" It always defaults to auto fire mode. I have a lot of fun just watching the asteroids float around without shooting them, the 3D effect is quite amazing! ## Frequently asked questions about Astro Protector VR ### What is Astro Protector VR?
