Thumper, in the most basic terms, is an action-rhythm game that's all about ridiculous speeds and violent collisions... and you also play as a metallic space-beetle, because why not! And if you ever wanted to see the world through the eyes of a metallic-space beetle, you're in luck as Thumper has just added support for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive!

There is unfortunately no video preview of the VR update, but if you just take a glance at some of the previous gameplay trailers I think you'll get a good idea of just how ridiculous all of this might turn out. Have a look:

Instead the entirety of the gameplay has been designed around a soundtrack specifically composed with in Thumper in mind.

You can find out more about Thumper by heading over to Steam.

I obviously don't know if Thumper is going to be discounted, but I'd say waiting for two days is small enough of a compromise that its well worth finding out. And finally, here's a few images to really showcase how ridiculous this whole concept is:
