Skader
Our Multiverse is collapsing, triggered by a catastrophic spacetime event. Many universes are already gone and just a handful left. Those who survived live in a constant universe incursion state and are about to collapse as well. There is an ancient artifact that can protect a single universe from collapsing and the multiverse sentinels, a pure energy intelligence without a body, decide to conduct an ultimate tournament. The winner will take the artifact home to save their universe. The sentinels pick the best warrior from each universe and invite them to the contest.
You represent one of these warriors, provided with a high-end skating device, a helmet, and a trail generator to compete. Each universe gives you a unique skill which distinguish you from the rest and gives advantage. The battle arena contains highly sophisticated features, power-ups, and the artifact. The player who holds it longer wins and takes the artifact home to decide their universe destiny.

A virtual reality game that masterfully combines the thrill of skating with the intensity of battles reminiscent of TRON.
Get ready to enter a futuristic world where your skating skills will be put to the test in breathtaking combat challenges.
With its innovative concept, 'SKADER' offers an exhilarating blend of sportive action and immersive gameplay.
As you navigate through neon-lit environments, you'll engage in fierce battles, showcasing your mastery of both skating and combat. The game promises a dynamic experience, encompassing strategic maneuvers, multiple modes, and a diverse array of opponents to keep you hooked for hours on end.

This game has a very interesting move mechanic. Moving back and forth as if you're skating while moving your arms to go faster. (hence the name "Skader"). It's definitely a workout!
As you move you leave a trail behind you (think Tron) and you have a frisbee like weapon that you can also throw to knock out your opponents. I did have a hard time throwing it for some reason.
It's a very fast-paced game of capture the flag. Hold onto the idol for the longest to win.
I'm excited to see where this goes when new maps and modes are added.

Fun Game. Game has been updated and improved the last 2 months I've had it.
Needs a larger player base for PvP.

You can view my single-player gameplay here:
I honestly can't review this game. I tried playing online pvp multiplayer, but each time I went up against bots. I honestly don't know if there is a playerbase for this game or not. The focus is obviously on PVP and I don't think it would be fair to score the game without having played online multiplayer.
However, I can say that the single-player content is not worth it. There's only one map. There's only one game mode (besides the tutorial). There are no settings of any kind. The AI bots are basically brain-dead if you skate around the edges of the map, which would be the most logical thing for you to do.
However, skating is fun. I could see this game being fun in PVP MP. Skating is easy to pick-up where you basically just move your body side to side to gain speed and face the direction you want to skate. There is no artificial turning, you must turn IRL, so you do need a swivel chair or to stand IRL. You also have power-ups and a disc weapon you can throw towards enemies. You can also jump or brake. You leave a tron-like trail behind you and you can use it defensively or offensively to cut-off other players. Skating is easy to pick-up, but it can be very challenging to pick-up the kitty & keep other plays from bringing you down, assuming they are not brain-dead like the AI in this game.
It's running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps. I did not experience any issues or bugs.

Skader is a Free to play VR ice-skating tron like PvP game. It worked on my Index, Meta Quest 3 via Steam Link and HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has a tutorial. Hard to play. Has 3 steam acheivements. Has bots to play with in Singleplayer mode also.
Try this free game, you might like it.

SKADER is when Tron meets Gorilla Tag! Easy to start moving but hard to master, the arena is perfect shiny ice and you can skate over it.
- LOCOMOTION: No joystick to move around, you need to work hard with your body to gain at least some speed, jump, brake, and even do a 360 in the air for an achievement!
- MULTIPLAYER: It's a multiplayer game but the option to play with bots only is available and they can be hard to beat
- GAMEPLAY: the goal is to get hold of the cat and run with it until someone stuns you and gets the cat, then everybody starts to skate after the new player. You leave a trail behind you, pick up some powerups and use your Glaive to stun other skaders
- VR: you do need to stay and turn 360 in place, no need to have a room-scale setup but playing in a chair won't fly
