About bluega
Based in Boston, Massachusetts, bluega is an independent game development studio fueled by passion, technical grit, and a mission to craft immersive virtual reality combat experiences.
From custom map design to full-scale game production
Before launching bluega, years were spent experimenting with custom scripts and gameplay systems in Unity. A major breakthrough came through four to five years of designing custom maps for the tactical shooter Onward. That intense experience laid the technical groundwork for everything we do today—mastering complex level design, squeezing peak performance out of standalone hardware like the Meta Quest, and proving that high-fidelity visuals can coexist with rock-solid frame rates.
The journey of Kickback
Kickback started as a passion project conceptualized around four years ago, born from an enduring dream to build a standalone VR first-person shooter from the ground up. In July 2025, that vision transformed into a dedicated reality. For the past year, Kickback has been the focus of daily, relentless development—spending countless hours every evening perfecting gunplay feel, responsive physics, and tactical arena flow.
Built for the VR community
Kickback is designed by a passionate VR player for VR players. We believe in transparent development, listening closely to feedback, and pushing virtual combat beyond routine mechanics.
