    Beat Hazard is now on PS5/PS4!!!! This fantastic game also has a bunch of my songs included which is pretty neat too! :)

    This week marks the 15th Birthday of Beat Hazard on Steam! To all players new and old, thank you so much for all the support during that time. It's been amazing. The game is on sale right now, so be sure to spread the word! #indiedev #gamedev #steam store.steampowered.com/app/1493520/...

    Yeah, Dead as Disco has the juice. They mixed together Arkham combat, Hi-Fi Rush, Beat Hazard, Sifu, etc. and it goes incredibly hard. Absolute beast of a game once it's finished, but feel free to jump in now if you want.

    As of today, Bone: Out from Boneville (2005) is the 533th best game of all time according to me, directly below Quest 64 and directly above Beat Hazard. It is part of Tier 23. There are 25 tiers and 583 games in the list #PixelRankings

    dude why have I never played Beat Hazard in survival mode. that was incredibly fun. I've had this game for so many years and I could have been doing more fun. #BeatHazard #VideoGames #Steam #IndieDev

    My current Steam cart full of stuff that won't be in a Humble Choice contains: All the Erbe Software re-releases on the site; that awful Wayforward Bloodrayne game; Blade Runner Enhanced; Harvester; Beat Hazard 3; ... and I still have a lot of wallet left.

    That's fair enough. I like the idea of rhythm games, but I don't feel anything from playing them. Even, like, Crypt of the Necrodancer isn't as engaging as I wish it was. I think my favorite one is a game called "Beat Hazard" (though, it's not really a "Rhythm" game) because it's incredibly flashy.

    Playing Beat Hazard 3. Everything the game does (enemy type and movement, main gun's power and angle, etc.) is based on pitch, tempo, etc. of the music. What better music for bot kicking action than @cybertronicspree.bsky.social ? Let's blast away! 'Til all are none! youtu.be/pcCR7bUn9ks

    Also adding a recommendation for Beat Hazard as a short session/time filler game, it's in the company of rhythm games and audiosurf where it's "play a minigame to your music" except that it's a shoot 'em up

    Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you I really don't get it. Never really liked that type of game so having AA and Just Cause as my first purchases is a mystery. Beat Hazard and Audiosurf were novelties that survived a single play each. And Duels, Really?

    I’m just pitching for a post on the PlayStation blog. So what would you like to read about? - The return of Beat Hazard to PlayStation after 15 years? - The secret inner workings of how the game works? - What’s it like to be a solo dev on console? Or something else? #PlayStation

    Somewhat related: Am I the only one kinda miffed at the naming of the last two difficulty levels? Labels like "Insane" and "Suicidal" for difficulties are extremely common in video games, but they still really rub me the wrong way. #BeatHazard

    Was not aware this game was on Steam along with some of the other Ska Studios games. Best $1 I spent as a kid on Xbox 360 and now it's free. This, Beat Hazard, Wizorb, Super Amazing Wagon Adventure, Dead Pixels, qrth-phyl, good times...

    You can import custom tracks to the game, but they do require some manual work. It's not Audiosurf or Beat Hazard. There is a simplified beat-matching feature, but for real control you gotta go to the advanced mode and adjust the BPM and offset, as well as add BPM-switching sections (if any) […]

    Dead as Disco reminds me of Beat Hazard. A game where I can listen to cool music and zone out while I play a game

    Beat Hazard 1/2 store.steampowered.com/app/618740/B... If you like Audiosurf as well this one is pretty funky. I love any game where you can use your own music library to generate levels. They have a 3rd one now but I sadly haven't had a chance to try it yet

    Wow. After a decade the Audiosurf developer surfaces for another music-based game. That is exciting. I wonder though if they will be able to innovate on what Beat Hazard and Symphony already did in their absence. store.steampowered.com/app/3925150/...

    It's always pretty cool to see a game that's been around for a long time get an update out of the blue. Two updates on my list today are #BeatHazard from 2010 and #Cogs from 2009.

    The plan for today, the first live plays & chats is Beat Hazard Arcade on PS5, then back on the PC with a game yet undecided, an FMV stream around 4pm GMT if anyone is interested, maybe dead reset part 2 ? Maybe hitman later as well. Come say hi in the chat! www.twitch.tv/gamerpaulytw...

    I didn't know that game had sequels! Last time I played Beat Hazard was on the PS3 15 years ago, what the heck xwx So it's not allowing you only one upgrade at a time is it?

    Whatever the game is, like take Beat Hazard, it's just a game I casually turn on for my music library as every track is a level. Game is never really actually over.

    Oh shit #BeatHazard 3 just went into Early Access, I fucking loved 1 and 2. It's a game where you basically play Geometry Wars to the intensity of your own music, with 2 featuring a daily challenge mode where you went for high scores to music available on YouTube or Spotify to get randomly generated ships. It's not really ready to play yet, missing a lot of features from previous games, but I'm excited.

    I wish I had a streaming site set up that's not youtube or twitch or something, because I'd love to stream myself playing #BeatHazard 2, with viewers giving me songs to play. But because copyright is aweful, that's right out on the right platforms. :/

    FUUUUUUCK!!! After not playing for months, I figured I'd play some #BeatHazard again. First random song: Radio/Video by System of a Down. I'd beat it on Hardcore in the past, but due to its tempo changes it had eluded me on higher difficulty levels. ... First attempt, perfect run. :blobwizard:
