Ever wondered what it would be like to whack a malleable clay head in VR? Probably not, but now you don’t need to, either! Developer Super Hyper Mega has released HIT, a whacky (sorry) sandbox game where punching, shooting and bashing various heads is the order of the day. Our friends over at 131XR have taken the time to review HIT, finding it an amusing time killer.

Getting a HIT in
You are presented with a clay head – various clay heads, in fact – which are very pliable. You can then use your fists to punch these figures into new forms. Or you can utilise an assortment of times such and crowbars, fish and a pistol to unleash some damage. As you do so, the heads will taunt you. Hit them lightly, and you’ll get a mocking response. Do some proper damage, and they’ll wail in pain.
Why, you may ask? Well, there is an underlying task involved. To the side of each head is its image in a rather deformed shape. The idea is to turn the head you’re presented with into that. The closer you get to a likeness, the more money you’ll earn to unlock new items. Thus allowing you to deliver even more carnage onto these unfortunately willing clay heads.
HIT Review
Almost like a punching bag, HIT provides an unusual form of upper body workout. As 131XR’s review explains, while the gameplay loop is very simple, HIT is inherently fun for 10 to 15-minute blasts. Almost like a virtual fidget spinner, HIT is great for those moments when you don’t fancy a huge VR adventure.
In its current form, HIT features 30 deformable heads in a variety of colours, a selection of weapons and a meter to tell you how hard you’re hitting. Additional extras include some tucked away grenades, although 131XR found they weren’t much use.
But for the current low price of £4 GBP on Meta Quest, HIT provides an enjoyable experience for the price. You’ll find all the details in 131XR’s review below.
What’s next for HIT?
Super Hyper Mega has continuing plans to expand HIT beyond its current edition. More weapons and heads are planned, with bigger features such as being able to upload your own clay models in the works.
131XR certainly sees plenty of potential in HIT, as simple, fun gameplay loops are a great way of engaging players. It’s not gory in any way, which makes it suitable for players of all ages.
What do you reckon to HIT? Think it’s worth five minutes of your time, or just a cash grab? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
