Bounce Arcade on Meta Quest 3: pinball where you stand inside the playfield instead of above it.
Inventive, polished, and a little too slow to get the pulse up.
Bounce Arcade flips pinball on its head by placing you inside each 3D environment rather than leaning over a table. On Meta Quest 3, developer Rocket Arena builds four themed playfields with mini-games woven into the flow. We look at whether the concept holds up, why the pacing undercuts the chaos that defines real pinball, and what the game would need to earn a permanent spot in your Quest library.
