Beat Hazard

A top-down arcade shooter where your own music drives the game. You fly a spaceship through bullet-hell waves, and the songs you pick shape the enemies and the intensity of the fight. It has pickups, perks, high scores and multiplayer options. The ebb and flow of each track sets the pace of every run. Is it your kind of game?
