Our take on Groove Gunner
The focus on timed shooting and blocking gives each track a clear mechanical identity, but it also narrows the experience to repeatable music challenges. Progression centers on records, scores, and custom songs rather than a wider campaign or genre mix.
What is Groove Gunner?
Groove Gunner is a VR rhythm game built around alternating between shooting and blocking in time with music and visual effects.
Featured songs contribute high scores to a global leaderboard, while featured and custom songs have separate rankings. Each featured song contains 5 records to collect. Players can download community-made custom songs through the in-game browser and publish creations made with the included official song editor. Streaming tools include LIV support for avatars and custom camera views, an overlay displaying scores and combo information, and camera controls such as stabilization, field of view, and rotation locking. Auto Groove Cam provides additional viewing angles during play.
