Throw The Ball In the Hole
How accurate are you? All you have to do is throw the ball in the hole! With 15 total puzzles, each one offers a different challenge. You will have to combine precision, speed, and a little creativity to even complete this game. So warm up your throwing arm, and dive into this fun and challenging little experiment and see how good you are!
At LanziVision we always have the most silly competitions, one day we started wrapping potatoes in tin foil and played a rousing game of pig around the office, Then we thought what a fun VR game this would be!
The puzzles start simple, there’s a hole and the ball needs to be thrown in it. By the end you’ll be bouncing the balls of slanted walls and chucking over large distances. We didn’t create this little game to be easy, so be ready for an old school challenge!
This free game is our first VR experiment, so tell us what you think! Have fun and remember to attach the controllers to your wrists!

I really enjoyed playing this game. It was short & sweet. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that it ended too soon. There's only 15 levels and it took me about 15 minutes to get to the end but it can definitely be done quicker with better throwing skills.
The visuals are basic & bland. The sounds are just passable. However, it's really the throwing mechanics that make this game as enjoyable as it is. The physics puzzles are just difficult enough to give you a challenge, but not so difficult that you'll get frustrated. It even keeps tracks of how many throws you did for the whole game so there's reason to play again if you're the type who strives for perfection (I myself am okay with just doing reasonably bad).
I do have to say that this game is not original. There's a better (but paid) version of this game called Hurl VR. If you like this game, you may want to check that one out too. Here's a link to my review of that game:
Rate 6.5/10. Here is a list of my top 100 FREE Steam VR games on my Curated group Oculus Rift Reviews (please join!):
p.s. You may be asking yourself why is Hurl VR rated the same as Throw The Ball In The Hole if I said it was the better game. Well, one is paid and one is free. That's why. I grade on a curve depending on price.

Fun game, wish it were longer. But for the price of free it was perfect. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

Throw The Ball In the Hole is a free VR game. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. This can be a hard game. Has 3 open steam achievements, that will be hard to get. Has music in the background but no controls or mute. They get progressively harder.
Try it, if you want to throw balls.

You throw a ball, get it in the hole, and around the obstacles. Not much to it but it's fun.

Very basic, though extremely fun! Would love to see some more from the game!
There were some minor issues I'll list below, though worry not; the game is really fun and playable!
-ball collides with teleport area
-swinging things sometime stop when you hit time
-black area seem one-way; their invisible when you look at the other side of them
-sometimes one throw triggers 2 baskets (in the 3 parabolic basket level)
-table on right side is not friendly to lefties
-index finger when using knuckles oddly doesn't bend properly, where the other fingers do
