I was a big fan of this game when it was on the Xbox indy scene. Was sad to see it go, but so thankful Julian got to bring it back to life! It just a fun game. You can love the intensity of a twin stick shooter and you can love the amazing music each type of enemy has with it. The huge green ships are my favorite! All the notes together are in your control and make such an amazing soundtrack. Its fun and real easy to sit back and play for a few hours and enjoy the Groov!

I played this game as a young teen, it was very cheap and I had little money, for years I was hoping for a PC release as it was an Xbox Indie Game it was lost to the void. In response to a years old comment (on a very old video by a small youtuber) saying that I missed the game dearly the developer informed me that it was now on steam, still extremely cheap. I bought it instantly and it still hold up really well, it is very relaxing and has three game modes, in all of them every action has a musical reaction. The graphics are nice and retro and the audio is very nice. I encourage everyone to give this a try.
This was my favorite game from the Xbox arcade. I had the high score on xbox for 6+ years, and set up my 360 a few times just to get back in.
Remember Geometry Wars? It's similar to that but with Music at its core instead of bright explosions. I kept my 360 solely for this game, thats how great it is. Years ago, I'd get home around twenty after four from work and fire this game up. It was easily one of my favorite ways to chill and wind down after a long day. The game isn't deep, but it has a lot of depth. 3 basic modes, the last 2 being locked until you beat the first mode. Gameplay The game takes place in a 2d box. Your a little spaceship(that always reminded me of The Last Starfighter) and every enemy is a musical instrument. Some enemies only need 1 shot to kill(or trigger their instrument) while others, aka The Romulan looking ship (the rapper) requires numerous hits to kill. There's numerous waves which are all different. Each wave presents more difficulties than the last. There's changes in your weapons, rate of fire, enemy population and variety, and a lot more. Later in the game, some pretty crazy things happen,...
One of my favorite shooter games because the music just makes it so much better.
Played this game so much when it was first on the Xbox 360 and was happy to see it was added to Steam. Simple and super fun, one of my favorite arcade indie games. Will attempt to hold my spot at number 1 on the leader boards as long as possible. Buy the game though.
I remember playing the heck out of this game on my 360! I'm super glad that it's been ported. Really unique concept and would be super stoked if it ever had a sequel.
i wish i was as cool as that green one
Please buy this game its so cheap and regularly goes on sale, its a great value and the Dev is super helpful on steam and twitter. Fun game. I'm so glad it came to Steam I loved it when it was on Xbox Indie Arcade back in the day. Has a lot of replayability. The price is great. The game play is great. The sound design is great. Cannot go wrong with this game. If I were rich I would gift this game to everyone on my friends list. EDIT: After this review they added a bunch of online Leaderboards so it got even better!
Honestly the greatest game ever made
