Trip The Light Double Turns With A VR Dancing Sim On Quest

Posted on by

Trip the Light is a VR dancing sim that recently entered early access on Quest.

Developed by Dark Arts Software, Trip the Light is a dancing simulator that uses both fully immersive VR environments and mixed reality passthrough to see your own surroundings. First appearing last month on the wider Quest platform, the game lets you work with a digital partner to learn new dance routines, complete challenges, score points, and gradually build up combos.

In its current early access build, Trip the Light aims to teach you Salsa using virtual instructors that the studio states are based on real-life professionals. There’s also a ‘Match Me’ mode that tests you to follow solo dance styles like hip-hop, line dancing, and club moves.

More dance styles are promised to be coming soon, and buying the early access release grants you the ‘Full Dance Edition.’ It’s not clear what further features can be expected for the full release, though Dark Arts Software confirmed that early adopters will receive “all of the basic modes, features, and assets that we build between now [and] then.”

Trip the Light is out now on the wider Meta Quest platform.

The First $100 You Should Spend on Meta Quest Games

Posted on by

Sneaking suspicion there’s a Quest 3 or Quest 3S under the tree? Whether you’re into active games, puzzles, or just want to slice or shoot the ever-living crap out of something, we’re here to help you settle into your new headset with a few games that should keep you playing for hundreds of hours yet to come.

Note: This list includes only Quest-native games. Don’t forget that you can also play PC games with Quest Link, Air Link, or Valve’s Steam Link, and of course a VR-ready PC. Find out if your PC is ready for Link.

While we’d suggest checking out the top free games first, we hope this list will make for a great starting point, with genres floating around $100 and featuring some tried-and-true games for cardio freaks, shooter fans, puzzle nerds, fantasy swordplay geeks, and much more. Click through each category, or pick and mix using the legend below:

Multiplayer Shooting Madness

Forefront – $20

If you’re looking for the most Battlefield-like VR game out there, Forefront is the 16v16 immersive shooter of your dreams. While still in early access, you’ll be able to choose from your standard classes, pilot a host of vehicles, and battle through a variety of expansive, semi-destructible environments.

Zero Caliber 2 – $25

While Zero Caliber 2 packs in an eight-hour single player campaign, not only can you play in four-player co-op, but also classic multiplayer game modes with up to 10 players. It looks (and plays) amazing on Quest 3.

Contractors Showdown : ExfilZone – $20

It’s not the battle royale game some hoped it would become, but now Contractors Showdown: ExfilZone is a full-on extraction shooter in the vein of Escape from Tarkov, you plan your assault in an attempt to nab loot and extract alive. Progression, gunplay and gear is deep, which is a double-edged sword; more experienced players can discourage newcomers, although pushing through it is definitely worth it.

Spatial Ops – $20

It’s not for everyone, simply because of the space required, although consider Spatial Ops a bit of a sub-in if you’re not into extraction shooters and are looking for more of a laser tag shooting experience. You can play online or with a bunch of other Quest-owning pals – just make sure you’ve got a large-size area to romp around in.

Strayed – $20

Strayed is not forgiving, so be warned. This fast-paced open world VR survival game is essentially vanilla RUST in VR—including more griefing psychopaths than you can shake a rock at. While not a shooter in the traditional sense, you’ll start with nothing on a fresh island, gather materials, craft weapons, build bases, and battle other players for the best loot—which ultimately is guns, armor, ammo, pipe bombs: the lot.
