Velan Studios readies launch for Bounce Arcade VR game for Meta Quest


Velan Studios announced its VR pinball game Bounce Arcade is available for pre-order on Meta Quest and will debut on November 21.

In the game, you enter the machine and play pinball like you’ve never seen before. It has multiple themed pinball tables full of challenges. Players must strive to survive, unlock mini-games, and chase high scores in action gameplay.

Velan Studios, started by brothers Guha and Karthik Bala in 2016, is known for a wide range of game types with mostly original intellectual property. It also launched the Hot Wheels: Rift Rally title that used augmented reality and real toy cars.

Bounce Arcade mixes pinball classics like multiball with new ball control mechanics like “attract” and “guide“. Bounce Arcade enhances the pinball experience with mini-games only possible in VR. For pre-ordering the game, players will receive a 10% discount off the game’s $20 price, bringing it down to $18.

In Bounce Arcade, players will enter the machine and be transported into an immersive 3D table arenas featuring classic pinball-inspired mechanics like rails and bumpers, while navigating level specific mechanics.

Players will start with a set number of balls, and, using their paddles, they must keep the ball in play to rack up points. Players can use paddles to deflect or attract balls and even control balls in mid-flight with the “guide” mechanic to direct the ball to their target.

In Bounce Arcade, players are transported inside immersive 3D table arenas, featuring classic pinball-inspired mechanics like rails and bumpers, along with new tricks and secrets to uncover. Each of the table arenas has a distinct theme and presentation, including the space themed Asteroid Outpost and the western themed Gunpowder Gulch, plus two more to be announced at a later date.

The game keeps players on their toes as the difficulty can increase with multi-ball game play. Certain events within a level will cause multiple balls to be added to the environment which creates a period of more intense action.
