“Second killer app for the Vive. This is awesome! The 80s retro theme is so perfect. I found myself shouting at the AI for hitting my car. I loved that car man! Get this game!”
“A great game for the Vive, simple, fun and easy to pick up. Impressively immersive experience that can work up a bit of a sweat. A must buy for any Vive owner.”
“Disclaimer: I was provided a beta key by the developers prior to release. HoloBall is a mix between Pong and racquetball, stylized with Tron-like art animations. The gameplay is simple: score against an AI by hitting…”

“HOLOlujah! This game is BALLer! Imagine if the original 1974 Pong, had a baby with a colorful, virtual 3-Dimensional environment. Then, that child grew up, and had a baby with the classic indoor sport of racquetball.…”

“Damage to wallet: $15.00 Calories burnt: 800 Clubbing myself on the head while swinging: Priceless.”
“This is probably my second or third most played game in VR. A great workout, nice challenge. Can't wait until multiplayer brings back the playerbase. Great execution and great demo piece. Honestly worth a full $15.”

“Physical game that gives you a great workout! Really intense at higher difficulty. One of the most fun vr-games so far imo. It's immersive and the sense of scale is amazing. The graphics and sound fits well. I found the…”
“BETA REVIEW: Pros: The art style is really awesome in VR. It's minimalistic and it really works well in the Vive. The music fits very well with the game. The gameplay is really solid. Pong but in VR. Hitting the ball is…”

“This was a decent game back in the day when the Vive was released, but now I would not recommend it. The game mechanics are really dangerous, as you end up diving to get balls right at the edge of your playspace. There…”
“Great game! Every tennis/ pong game player will enjoy this. You actually need to jump, run, volley the same way you’d do in a real game court. Beware the walls! The game allows adjustments to stay safer from them. The…”

“Pros: Fun tennis game. Awesome retro visuals. Good workout. Cons: The AI repeats the same few phrases over repetitively. The ball is programmed to not follow the path you hit it sometimes.”

“Upon entering the game the first impression I got was a tron vibe. The graphics are simplistic and colorful but have a sharp design style. The opening lobby is an empty room that contains a number of pedestals with different difficultly levels on each one. initially, the only…”

— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“I'm a casual racquet ball/tennis player, and after the update this game is now better than ever. Before the update, this was a great game. The core game was solid, but my only gripe was that each shot felt more like a ricochet rather than an actual swing. When I would serve the…”
