In the game's current state it is really fun to play. Initially it comes off seeming too easy, all enemies die in one hit. Then you get a few levels in, if you aren't a quick shot you'll be overwhelmed fast. Bullets coming from you at all directions and the only thing you can do is duck and dodge while still plucking them off until the onslaught stops.
The only gripe I have is that while you can continue if you stay in the game, it doesn't seem to give you the option when you come back to the game later. Since this game requires a lot of movement, you'll feel like taking breaks. It is in early access though so I don't fault them for not having something like this implimented yet. It's such a standard option I'd think it will eventually be added.
Also the song that plays in the background, along with the semi-cutesy robot theme, and the fact your shadow is a top hat complete with handlebar mustache and monocle, makes you feel like you're the star of some 90's saturday morning cartoon. This is by far my favorite reason to play.

Clear picture with no chopping/studders.
Fun new levels for each wave!!
Can't wait for more levels/bellybots!
Needs a leaderboard mode.

BellyBots really stand out from every other VR shooter. Silly aestetics, catchy song and very polished gameplay all make it one of the most enjoyable games I've played. It takes everything that made SPT great and improves upon it in almost every way.
Pros:
- You have a tophat.
- Every gameplay aspect feels polished and thought through.
- Great use of spatial audio. You always know precisely where enemies are and when they shoot.
- Awesome level design with nice difficulty curve.
- Catchy music and amazing sound design. Shooting feels so satisfying!
Cons:
- No way to pause.
- Graphics have a little bit of aliasing.
Despite having some minor issues, BellyBots is hands down the best VR arcade shooter.

This game is insanely fun. I won't say it's better than SPT because the skill ceiling is so much higher in that game, but in pure fun factor this probably has it beat. First game in a while to just have me full on giggling.
update - my last review was made with the assumption that we'd actually be getting some more levels, ever. don't buy for now until they actually do something more with the game.

This is one of the underated gems of early VR. Simple and sweet, you get two big guns with unlimted ammo and blast your way through waves of robots that shoot slow-motion energy blasts at you. Destroying all bots while making use of the room-scale to dodge the slow motion bullets makes you feel pretty badass and also makes for a great work out. If you want to be good at this game, be prepared to work up a sweat moving around the playspace.
This game is great for short spurts of tense epic gunplay. If this were an arcade cabinet I would gladly play way more than $7.99 to own it. Pick this one up, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Awesome little game. Gives you a good work out. Has great graphics, music and love the big guns. A must buy if your into work out type of room scale vr games. I appreciated that when you die, you don't start over from the beginning.

Don't buy this game, it is a simple wave shooter that has been abandoned by the developers. They consider putting in 1 (one!!!) additional week for further developing this game and that was it.
Don't do the same mistake I did: don't buy abandonded EA shovelware

*EDIT: It does look like the developers have abandoned this game. I'm not going to thumbs down it however becuase it's still a blast to play and it still works. My review below still stands, just be aware that it's starting to look like the game that you buy now is all you will get.
Honestly I was expecting something like Space Pirate Trainer. Compared to this game SPT is downright boring! The soundtrack is old-school 80's style. The commentary reminds me of the old "HEADSHOT!" days of Unreal Tourney. And holy cow is it a workout. Honestly if you are trying to choose between SPT or this game, go for Belly Bots. You won't regret it.
Pros:
Soundtrack.
Rapid action that doesn't stop till you are worn out.
Different levels offer some interesting variations.
You have a top hat and moustache on your space helmet. (Look at your shadow)
Your helmet actually cracks when you take damage.
Cons:
[strike]No menu or way to pause/escape the action that I could find. [/strike] [i] Edit. They added pause ability. [/i]
No level select.
Overall 9/10
