Beat Hazard is an excellent new indie game that offers arcade space shooter gameplay based around your music tracks. Similar to Audiosurf it builds a background and enemy waves based on the beat of the music, but this beat also determines your rate of fire and the power of your weapons. Add in a wealth of unlockable achievements, leaderboards, sweet score multiplier mechanics and interesting pickups and you have an excellent new space shooter that’s well worth having.
Needless to say, I’ve been playing Beat Hazard in between other games a lot as of late and it has definitely left an impression. Blasting through waves of space ships and asteroids to the beat of your favorite tracks is awesome, but that’s not the only reason why it’s got me hooked. Beat Hazard also happens to have a very stylish and intense visual presentation that adapts well to the pace of the track you’ve selected and paints some very pretty pictures.
So this time screenshot galore will feature the best shots I’ve been able to grab in this seizure-inducing indie game. Definitely worth a look.
