About This Game
Reflect bullets to the beat in this psychedelic rhythm bullet hell shoot 'em up. Patterns of rhythm and bullets are melted into a unprecedented gameplay experience. Feel this immersive audivisual experience filling your soul with excitement and joy.
Different colors flash to different parts of the beat or melody.
Fly near the bullets and hit the button exactly on the beat.
The patterns get more complex with every stage.
If you can chain more bullets and make multiple successfull chains in a row you will be rewarded with extra points and lifes.
At the end of every stage a boss is waiting for you with it's own music track.
Is this a skill based game or a casual game?
It's skill based. Easy to learn, hard to master. Each section is unique and leaves room for improvement. The scoring system awards tactics and skills.
Do you play bullet hell shoot 'em ups?
I play bullet hell shoot 'em ups (e.g. from Cave) regularly and understand the deep scoring mechanics those games have. I usually reach the last stage with one credit. I particularly like shooters with innovative concepts like Ikaruga.
Do you play rhythm games?
I used to play rhythm games daily and still play them from time to time. I love how rhythm games force your whole body to be part of the game. This is what I tried to adopt in Soundstorm.
