Turn your music into a chaotic, pulse-pounding space shooter where the beat dictates every explosion.

What players say

Players love the core idea of fighting to their own music, but split on execution. Some prefer the first game's hand-crafted bosses over sequels, while others find the base game repetitive and reliant on DLC for variety. The UI and resolution are widely criticized.
