Now imagine hopping in your own spaceblaster and chasing them down to rescue your sweetie-pie. To top that off, now imagine being targeted and bombarded by laser bullet rain that is timed to your spaceblaster boombox playlist while zooming through the cosmos! What you have there, is the makings of an epic story of heroism and the most addictive indie video game I have played this year!"
The creativity of the developers behind "Beat Da Beat" (Nekki, in this case) not only manages to amaze me but also revived my interest for 'bullet hell' games. As it combines it´s shmup gameplay mechanics with rhythm. And the result is simply amazing and mind blowing. And this is the reason why.
The music is a pounding set of electronic tracks from Waterflame, Lone-X, JBroadway, The Biocide and Levelate, these fit the gameplay extremely well.
Interestingly the music is also featured as a game mechanic as the enemies fire bullets to the rhythm of each of the tracks.
Writes Keith Addison.
Indie developer and publisher Nekki are pleased to announce that smash-hit rhythm based shoot-em-up, Beat Da Beat, will be released on Steam for PC on March 11th.
