Beat Hazard – 1. A Music Game

This is another music based shooter, this time in the style of Geometry Wars. It’s quite fun and has some nice mechanics. Also, Steamworks achievements are a plus also. For now, I managed to get 12 out of the total of 25 achievements, but I don’t think I will be getting the rest of them soon as they are tied to playtime and survival mode.

The game does a good job at generating levels for fast, as well as slow music. When it’s fast, the enemies come from all sides, but your main weapon is powered up. When it gets slow, your weapon is pretty much useless, so you are forced to dodge the enemies until a faster part of the song arrives.
