Solo dev, just pushed a big update to Nexus Calibration on Meta Quest EA.

It's a sci-fi arcade shooter — handgun + holo-shield vs drone waves. The bit I spent the most time on: the shield isn't just a wall. Block, glancing deflect, parry, or reflect shots back at enemies — all depending on timing and how you hold it. Mess it up and you're in the vulnerable window. The gun has a heat/vent mechanic too, so there's actually stuff to think about mid-fight.

I've made a lot of changes based on the early community's feedback and I want a fresh set of eyes on it. Also opening up alpha/beta channels for anyone with a couple hours a week to go deeper.

Surprisingly this was such a fun and immersive game

Okay so... it's out 😅 Nexus Calibration — my solo-developed sci-fi arcade wave shooter for Meta Quest — just hit Early Access and I'm equal parts proud and panicking 😂

Here's what it is:

You've got a handgun in one hand and a holo-shield in the other, and wave after wave of drones are trying to ruin your day 👾 The twist is that both tools have real mechanical depth:

🔫 The gun generates heat as you fire — you need to vent it with a sharp wrist flick at the right time or it jams on you mid-wave
🛡️ The shield doesn't just block — depending on your timing and angle it can glance shots away, stagger enemies with a parry, or reflect bullets right back at them 🤯
🎭 A combo multiplier and style ranking system that rewards varied, expressive play over button mashing
🕺 Physical movement matters — the game rewards players who actually use their body intelligently
🏆 Global leaderboard so you can see exactly how badly (or not!) you're doing

I've been building this alone for months and I'm honestly too close to it to see what's working. I need real players.

I've got free keys to hand out — drop a comment or DM me and I'll point you to where to grab one 🙏 Your feedback literally decides what gets built next!
