Big Bat VR (Oculus Quest/Quest 2 VR Digital Game; App Lab)

Looks like this used to sell for $9.99. Maybe a limited time freebie? Grabbed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes it seems like. Cheers !!

Looks like hot garbage to me.... Every one of these 'app labs' games has been a terrible VR experience. I do not understand how these keep getting front page deal status. Just because someone asks for money and then realizes they just as well give it away, doesn't mean it is a good deal.

Is that pitcher wearing a MAGA hat?

I don't see it on the Oculus app. Is this only available on the mobile site?

Sure is! If you didn't have a reason to not download before....

Anyone have a recommendation for a realistic baseball game experience for the Oculus?

The App Lab games are definitely pre-alpha, alpha, and beta - stuff that hasn't gotten the Oculus Stamp of Approval to be brought up to the main store. You pretty much have to know the actual name of the game as well because when you search for App Lab games and aren't exact, you'll get Actual Store games and have to scroll down to App Lab results and click to see what they are.

These games are DEFINITELY mostly on the side of "I may be one person trying to figure out how to program in VR, anybody else want to see how I'm doing?" and the ones that charge money for it may have a small following willing to pay but no. Just no, generally speaking none of them are worth money in the states they are in.

There are a few winners, but considering none of them have passed the Oculus Test and aren't graded for comfort, you can almost guarantee a rumbly belly when playing most of the games if they aren't just 3D puzzles (sidenote: some of the puzzle games actually are fun but...why even do them in VR?)

Every once in a while you get a winner (Ancient Dungeon comes to mind) but even that game makes me break out into a full sweat after a few minutes because of movement and motion sickness. Which stinks because it's actually very fun. I can play Beat Saber and Thrill of the Ring and Epic Roller Coasters for an hour but Ancient Dungeon for 5 minutes and that's a shame.

I guess my point is I agree that these App Lab games shouldn't make it to front page of SD because I kind of thought a Slick Deal was something worth making a fuss over.

App Lab games ain't it.

Wow. I was ready to say "Any red hat is a MAGA hat now?" but you're right!

I've seen ads for another baseball one called, "Win Reality." It's also free right now (and via App Lab). No idea if it's any good, but to me it looks better than the one in the OP.

Win Reality on Oculus Store [oculus.com]

That's awfully bold of them. At least they made it clear it's trash from the outset.

Everyone? Nah, don't believe that. There are good games in app lab. Dead second, iron guard, tea for god, to the top, simple planes,ark-ade, etc. just search by top, and updated, it's worth trying. If you use the oculus browser, then go to sidequest and then app lab, you can search the entire store and link directly to downloads.

It's on the app. You just have to scroll all the any down and go to "app lab". I downloaded it from the app yesterday when this was posted.
