For a game made by one guy in his bedroom over the summer, Beat Hazard Ultra is an interesting treat. The controls are tight, the weapons are unique and varied, and the novelty of using your own songs gives you an endless library of levels and enemy variety.
Beat Hazard Ultra is simply a nice, colorful and fun twin-stick shooter that every player into EDM or metal music shouldn't miss.

If you're looking for a quirky way to listen to your music though, you could definitely do much worse.

Unlock and upgrade perks and customize your set-up to suit your play style. Key features: - Power-up with 3 new tactical weapons: Micro Missiles, Reflect Shield a...
