World leader boards.

Puzzle game where you must line up/rotate shapes to make them fit through holes whilst always moving forward.
Earn the ability to use powerups like bomb and the ability to slow down time.
Attract mode: Basically allows you to just watch the game auto play.
Game play is slick, Simple, Addictive and slick.
540.9MB download size.
Infinite replay ability.
Tutorial is a simple tells rotate and move a block affair and is always there on boot up.
Blocks get added and the wall rotates and more as you progress through the levels.
Two live then its game over.
As you progress the neon colours change and at points you travel through a rainbow of colours in a weird tunnel travel bit that looks just incredible in VR.
You can look all around at the vast neon open space.

Cons:

You suck at these games.
You dont like neon colours.
Starting back at zero is soul destroying.
No real variety to levels meaning it runs a very similar path for each run.

Summary

Superhypercube is the best fun you can have with a PSVR. The concept is simple, The controls are simple but the game can be a brutal beast. Spinning blocks and slotting them in holes sounds so easy and kind of boring. Add a neon setting, The fact you have to look behind the block to see the hole and the constant forward movement and you have yourself a game! Its just so much fun to play and is a great show off title for non PSVR owners. A game like this can only be truly appreciated with VR and thank god we have a title like this so early in its life. In short one of THE best launch PSVR titles.
