City of Beats

City of Beats

Explore the ever-changing skyline of a city driven by music ๐ŸŽต in this rhythmic rogue-lite shooter. Get into a zen-like flow state during combat, where every action is synced to the beat. Shoot, groove, loot, upgrade, repeat.

Plan your route through procedurally generated expeditions on the city map which doubles as your skill tree.

Encounter fierce enemy resistance on skyscraper rooftops and meet citizens of the city such as financially-challenged repair drones and shady hardware merchants.

You suck at rhythm games? We’ve got you covered. It’s not about continuously pressing buttons on the beat. Instead, the music helps you enter a flow state so you anticipate enemy move & attack patterns, which are all synced to the beat. Listen and learn to perfectly time your dodges, special attacks & skills, as you shoot out the melody with your weapons.

Between expeditions, upgrade your character & hovercar to gain an advantage for your future runs. Unlock new classes, weapons & tech and get closer to your ultimate goal: hunt down and eliminate a rogue AI called The Zeitgeber.

To dear developers

Give a feedback on a (potential?) bug. I once failed to unlock the third piece even if I’ve completed the first two with score over 95%. (But somehow I tried to restart the game and press “enter” on the locked third piece for many times, and luckily succeeded to enter it. The problem remained when I quit the game with the third uncleared, but once cleared it seemed to back to normal.) I don’t know why but my OS isn’t English (Chinese).

You guys have made the excellent game. I enjoy playing it so much and I feel like I’m really playing a piano. Look forward to more pieces to be added.

ESPRESSO REVIEW

Not a meditative, relaxing game as I assumed, but more a good reflex dodge em up with great rotational labyrinths to escape from. The remaining impression of rotating, expanding and collapsing levels will stick with you after you are done.

PROS

Intricate mazes to figure out

Monochromatic layout is a gorgeous modern art experience

Not as easy as you would expect

Music is a very nice low key electronic soundtrack that is well composed

Follow me, says the game with a chime.

A week ago, I received an email from Expand developer Chris Johnson inviting me to play the game ahead of release. Since it was a game I was already interested in, I jumped at the opportunity.

Chris describes the game as a “meditative exploration through shifting circular labyrinths”. It is a game that I find hard to frame my thoughts on - Chris' words are certainly accurate, but the game has another quality to it that’s a little more difficult to define.

Its a fun game for wasting some minutes here and there.

The music is relaxing and the rythm mechanic is really challenging (at least for me).

Buuuut i havent found a quit optionโ€ฆ would be nice, if it could be added at the menu.

Ping Pong Space - Retro Tennis

Ping Pong Space - Retro Tennis

“You get what you pay for”, yeah, that’s pretty much the way to sum up the experience with this game. That said, don’t expect a masterpiece, it’s a basic game that you can use to kill some time whenever you feel like it.

This title doesn’t really have a “story mode” available or something, but there’s a campaign of 60 levels that you can get to beat, in order to complete it. The more you advance, the more complex the levels get, with obstacles that you need to avoid, or that you can also try to use it in order to fool the AI.

I played for 10 minutes very stoned. It has a (one) good retro sountrack. You can play this waiting for Windjammers 2.

Synthesis Universe -Episode 00-

Definitely more than 15mn contrary to some reviews!

(More content was added after initial release)

Some users don’t pay attention and miss most of the experience.

This is not fast food, this is not a game or a thing you have to try to speed run.

Why not taking some slow time in there, relax and enjoy the show?

Many interactions are hidden, delicate and add replay value, there is even a secret ending.

This is not for everyone:

If you are a gamer in a hurry: don’t buy it.

If you are looking to be fully immersed surrounded by music and FXs, enjoy every polygons, music notes and pay attention to the cues and the cryptic storyโ€ฆ then go for it.

โ€“ Real player with 2.7 hrs in game

A truly beautiful experience. The detail and the complexity of everything around you is so amazing, and the music makes it all come alive. Lots of genuine “wow” moments.

I can’t wait for what’s next in this universe.

Edit:

One tip for players is to look up in the “menu” area. I think you need to view the main story part first to unlock them, but there are three pentagonal flower shapes above you to the left and right that open up and take you to other scenes/modes. I had no idea until I read the store page that mentioned the added scenes. Anyway, I was very happy to discover this.

Never in my life did I think someone would create a VR game that simulates a psy-trance festival, but these devs did it.

Quite realistic and the music is excellent, if you like psy-trance. This game would be infinitely better if they can realise full multiplayer.
