Beat Hazard

Game » consists of 11 releases. First released on Oct 28, 2009

Beat Hazard is a twin-stick shooter by a one-man development team. The beat of the music controls your shots, while the song itself supplies the layout of the level.

This is what happens when you scream into Beat Hazard.

Beat Hazard

I've enjoyed some Beat Hazard the last few days and it's definitely a fun game. I tested it out with some screaming and other nonsense to see how it would react:
 
 
Here's the mp3: THA-beathazardabuse.mp3
 
It would be awesome if it could process a live audio signal so I could yell enemies to death like in Gnilley.  

More Biplanes HD music

Got some more music for ya; stuff that's not quite complete. 
 
 
MP3 Download: THA-biplanemusic2.mp3
 

Misc yadda blah unf crudstache

I picked up the PC version of P.B. Winterbottom recently and will start playing that today. I'm excited to get into some time-bendin' pie-snatchin' action. :D
 
Instead of the usual AudioSurf videos of my music, here are a few drives through real locations:

Driving through Hollywood at night
Driving on the Angeles Crest Highway
 
Also, Zombies:
Zombie Driver (1 of 1)
 
That is all.

I've put a lot of my own tunes on my 360 soundtracks just so I could play them to Beat Hazard. Great stuff.

As if I didn't want this game enough! But sadly as I have no cash. Next month when I get paid I am so buying this and P.B Winter bottom. Steam is such a bastard when it comes to sales. Last week I picked up Zombie Driver, This week I got Trine. When will it end D: .

Finally, a practical use for hardcore music. 
 
Anyway, I would say that this is the best blog I'd ever seen, but your last blog had a pug loaf.

Don't discount the use of hardcore music as an animal repellent. It's a very practical application! :P
