What Pulsar Arena is

Pulsar Arena is an arcade game developed by ZeroTransform and released in 2016. It is available on Oculus Rift only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Pulsar Arena is a rhythm based shooter for Virtual Reality controlled entirely with head-tracking that takes aspects from tug-of-war and hot-potato and wrap them up in a musical adventure in space. The arena pits two combatants in a large hourglass balanced between a beating binary pulsar system with a 360 degree playing field. Looking at a PolyBlock on the beat will target and shoot it. Shooting multiple PolyBlocks in succession with the beat create combos, and special effect PolyBlocks like the Electric ball and Bomb ball mix up the gameplay.
