A fun casual game.
You collect colored blobs and have to throw them at a collector bot. Blobs you don't actively hold float around and can collide with each other, which increases the radiation level. If it gets too high, you lose.
At the higher levels more difficult than it sounds.
The gameflow kind of reminds me of Tetris when you collect a blob and then wait for your "helper" to want the correct color.

Meh. I mean, it's for for the price. Just casual.
Regarding accesibility: it can be played one handed, though it's more difficult.. However, it can't be played in a wheelchair at all as you have to move around a lot to be competitive enough.

I'm fond of games that don't overreach, that pick a gameplay concept and refine it and offer a focused polished experience., and this is a good example. We especially need these in VR. Too many Vive games out there feel like rough drafts, or like "my first dev" experiments, or try to do too much.

Anyway. In RUMA, you stand in a chamber with energy blobs appearing randomly around you, in red, green or blue. You have to feed them to a robot that stands there with you. Combine blobs of the same colour to make them grow and get more points when feeding. Don't let blobs of different colours touch, or they'll raise the radiation level in the room and eventually lead to game over.

The robot asks for a different colour every time. Don't feed it the wrong colour or it will spit it back out, leading to radiation. On medium and high difficulty, force fields and laser beams appear in the room as well, forcing you to work around them (and protect the blobs from the lasers, which also burn them into radiation).

With your controllers you can grab the orbs, slap them around, or force-pull and force-push them with the touchpad. With the game's floaty bouncy physics you can have a lot of fun and do trick shots.

In terms of physical demand, RUMA is a low-key workout. You'll spin a lot, crouch, lean, but nothing very intense. The gameplay is compelling enough to keep playing for a long time.

I definitely recommend it. It's roomscale, with no need for locomotion. It plays well even in the smallest playspace. It's a good experience for VR demos as well, since the concepts are so simple. And it's polished and reasonably priced, which is something to support when it comes to VR games.

As a fan of Blarp! and having played some other random objects in the room that you have to get to another spot but not touch other objects games, [R.U.M.A] is in a similar vein but just as fun. The graphics are polished and while it is just get the glowing orbs to the smiling robot target, there's a ton of replay value with multiple game experience levels and lots of waves to play through. For $3.99 I'd definitely suggest picking it up!

its fun and relaxing. the only downside are that you cant rotate or center your position. :/

If you're looking for some simple game for kids in vr, this might be just the thing to get.

While the content isn't enough to entertain adult audience for few than more minutes, it wil likely get the younger ones going, without any inapropriate content and giving them some excercise too.

For the low price, it's cretainly worth trying out at least.

Game description key-points: merge two same color balls and hand to robo.

Overview:
simple and repeated process to toss around flying ball in a room.
Bigger the ball gets, more points.
3 level of difficulty, but 5 minutes are enough of this.
Liderboard isn`t loading properly or not updating(broken). up to 10 players shown...

A fun little VR arcade-like game. You can do it without room-scale, but it helps to have it. Controlls are pretty basic, which is good for this type of game, your controllers are used to push and pull colored orbs, and you can grab on to them as well, however the grabbing part was a bit tough.

I played with Oculus Rift and it worked just fine.

Nice casual game making good use of the medium. You collect blobs of the three primary colors floating around you and pass them on to a robot. Blobs of the same color can be joined, yielding larger blobs that give more points, while blobs of different color bounce of each other and mutually reduce their size (and thus value). The robot's accepted color changes randomly. After getting a knack for reliably grabbing blobs (grabbing a bit too soon or a bit too late as it approaches, you repel it instead), increasing difficulty arises from larger numbers of blobs and a limit imposed if there are too many around.

The principle is simple and the gameplay casual, but it's still fun to play it now and again and a good demonstration of the immersion VR offers. Runs well on my GTX 1070 OC system, plays well with a limited play space (mine is currently 2.4 by 1.8 meters), and involves no artificial locomotion. Graphics are nice and polished. Recommended, especially at the current price of about 2€.
