Flip the Table

[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] Flip the Table is another "break everything in sight" VR game, akin to free counterparts such as Smash Party and Break Time. Players are able to teleport around the environment, or walk provided a large enough play area is present, and either just haul off and start flipping tables or stack more items on them to gain bigger scores. It's a physics based game, so nearly every object can be interacted with and subsequently broken in some manner. The catch here is that you have an unseen time limit, but each time you break another item you gain a little bit more time to continue wrecking stuff. There are five levels to play, with the ultimate goal of each one being to hit a score high enough to earn a three-star rating. The rating system feels like the three-star engine that nearly all puzzle-centric mobile games use, so it seems a little bit out of place on PC. Of course, even after the timer runs out you're free to keep on smashing things, but you'll more than likely have run out of items at that point anyway. As the name would suggest, Flip the Table mostly revolves around putting your hands under some form of table and flipping it over. It's something that I'm sure nearly all of us have referenced in our lives, and I myself think about flipping my desk at work almost every single day. You would think this game would be a total fantasy come true, but it falls just a bit short of anything spectacular. This is primarily due to the fact that after you're finished flipping the table(s) in a level, the remaining objects just aren't any fun to destroy, most of these being books that are just filler content. Not to mention, the bat that's available in a couple of levels just acts like a foam or wiffle-ball bat and doesn't do much of anything at all. With better haptic feedback integration, as well as a bit of in-game physics and item tweaking, Flip the Table could become very well worth its $2.29 price point. There's also a severe lack of music or a fitting soundtrack to break items by. After all is said and done, even attaining 3 stars on each level, about half an hour has passed. Does Flip the Table relieve stress and satisfy the urge to break things? Only just barely, and the free games of this genre do a better job of fulfilling that need. Smash Party has unique visuals, a great soundtrack, and the whole "smashing" stuff has a great tactile and arcade-like quality to it. Forego this purchase, and check out the two freebies mentioned instead.
