In THUMPER, the "space beetle" in front goes automatically the course, but you need to take action against obstacles appearing in front of you. When the shining block on the ground flew away ......


Timely jump with "x" button to avoid it. Music is constantly playing while playing, the better the rhythm you jump, the higher the score.


If a curve point appears ...


You can push the X button at the same time you knock down the stick in the opposite direction (right) to the wall (left) of the curve and OK. If you return the stick while turning the curve or release the button, it will crash.


When an orange-colored bar appears ...


If you push the X button and hold it as it is before touching the stick, you will push through while destroying the stick. Besides, the stage combining the two actions such as "floating the stick after jumping with the x button" and floating it and floating it or "a landing on the glowing block after the floating" got a messy effect and a high score It will also appear.


Since obstacles come out in a complex manner, it is OK if you judge the required action instantaneously and clear it. If you look at the distant direction with a VR headset, you may be able to predict what will come next. Anyway the feeling of running is not half end, it is sometimes that you can not catch up with your eyes while you are not used to it. However, since the actions that come out when you redo all are the same, even if you do not give up on a difficult stage, you will be able to clear the body and remember the body and you will be repeatedly playing repeatedly when you notice it.


If these actions fail, the space beetle will crash and the shell will blow away.


Then the contents of the space beetle are exposed.


If the action fails again with the contents exposed, the space beetle shattered and the game over. You will start over from the beginning of the same stage.


The boss is waiting for the last stage of each level. If you do rhythm actions, you can fire an energy bullet towards the boss when you clear a specific action, and you can reject the boss if you succeed a certain number of attacks. Boss fight makes graphics even more flashy, but if you are watching it will crash in a moment and you will be dying so be careful.


You can see how you are challenging the stage's final boss from the following movies.
