Okay, by ‘shake’ we mean ‘blow up’. Bombaroom enables you to fight epic battles on the rug, sofa or anywhere else you fancy.
It’s all thanks to Meta Quest, seamlessly blends computer-generated things – in this case, cannons and targets – with the physical world, enabling you to shoot cartoon cannonballs at your sofa or lob munitions around the lawn.
It starts simply with a cannon and a single target. But that’s just to get you used to the controls – before long you’ll be trying to blow up pirate ships and castles.
It’s particularly amusing when people are walking past, completely unaware of the carnage taking place just a few feet away, or when you manage to place your enemy on something impractical such as a wobbly hedge.
Bombaroom is about aiming and getting the right amount of power behind your shot, and that means it’s both easy to pick up and hard to get really good at.
It’s a great way to mix a little destructive pleasure into your reality – just don’t worry too much about that castle that’s sprouted up in your kitchen.

I'm really happy I decided to buy this game. I almost never had that much fun for only a few euro's!
The graphics are wonderfull, the gameplay is fun and the AR is really fantastic. Walk around in your room to inspect the targets, see the little bombs and arrows laying around.
Challenge yourself to make every shot a hit.
Great work, devs! Can't wait for extra levels!!
The only place I'm able to set the canon and target is my floor. Not on the table, couch or anything else.
I want to give this game five stars but there’s a small controller issue where if you use the joystick to move your canon, the movement is not fluid. It will just stop moving until you redo the motion, which gets the canon moving again. I must stress that this is a minor issue and doesn’t really impact the enjoyment. It should be fixed though; it would make this game feel polished.
Buy this game! Unlike so many other so-called “AR” games — which are basically just pre-packaged VR experiences where you can see bits of your living room through the cracks in the UI — Bombaroom truly interacts with your real-world environment. For instance, you can place your cannon and your target/opponent on opposite dining room chairs, and try to arc your shots over the table in between, watching as the tabletop becomes strewn with stray cannonballs that fell short! In terms of value, it’s worth every penny: it has loads of levels introducing new mechanics, and you can replay each level in different parts of your house and/or with different goals in mind (e.g. beat it using minimal ammunition, or in record time, or with full health — perhaps by positioning your cannon under a hiding spot like a stool…) In addition to being fun to play, this game also gave me new appreciation for my living space (and how it might look to pets and children…)
Highly recommended!!
