A lovely little game, a shoot-em up where the enemy spawns depend on your own music that you let the game scan. There's a relatively defent variety of enemy types, a few bosses and types of weapons that you unlock from each song. Overall, it's not very complex or too hard, but that's a benefit - the game doesn't really get in the way of enjoying some arcade shooting while listening to your own music. Of course, the quality of your experience will depend on whether you have your favorites saved to your PC, which in the era of streaming music may be a little rarer, but it's a charming little game nonetheless.
