Maybe you are familiar with games like Audiosurf or Melody’s Escape. This is one of the games of that game genre. Don’t expect much from it at the moment, but it sure looks promising. The fact there is only 1 person working on this entire game, is mindblowing to me.

You control an airship with mouse and hover over the notes, while pressing the coresponding key each time. I like the gameplay, and the colorful graphics. The in-game gameplay is jittery, but it’s no issue for me. The game might have problems with placing notes when there is a lot of going on in the song. I get that, many games of this genre have that issue, if not all (It is actually impossible to create the perfect music analyzer that would work with any type of music).

Koma

Koma

Awesome simulator of near after death experience, it gave me goosebumps while I was playing it

Real player with 1.3 hrs in game

Koma is a confusing, both in a bad and a good way.

First the game seems to have some optimisation issues. Even on my Ryzen 9 XT and Nvidia 2800 Super, I had some lags and micro freezes, usually when loading a new area.

Also, sometimes I felt some issues regarding of the usual rules of game design in the way to indicate you the path. Combined with the fact that you can glitch the camera trough the walls, and sometimes yourself, it result in situations where you don’t know exactly what you’re supposed to do or where to go. I completly understant the goal to make you feel lost in this strange world and I like that, but sometimes I just felt lost because of confusing game design. It reminded me it was a game and kinda breaked the illusion.

Crystal Vibes feat. Ott.

One of VR"s most early kaleidoscopic music video dealies. Should be worth a dollar. It might have also been bundled with another set of experiences, I don’t remember. I’m probably thinking of something else. The music a funky dubstep dealie with strange sounds, so, up my alley for sure.

! I tried real hard to spell kaleidoscopic the first time correctly, and failed. I tried again just now looking at the correct spelling and failed. https://youtu.be/bUvpdrg90XM

This is a few minute psychedelic gem. It left me literally floored.

HEPTAGON

HEPTAGON

This is a killer game, with a killer soundtrack. Open Hexagon and Super Hexagon fans, this is the game for you.

Real player with 66.0 hrs in game

HEPTAGON is very near to being the perfect fanmade sequel to Super Hexagon. Not only does it bring the heat like never before, it also brings in totally new mechanics in every level, including changes in perspective, and red patterns that temporarily reverse your controls. In addition, each level has it own sets of difficulty (hard, harder, and hardest) that keeps the game a challenge as you refine your rotation skills further and further.

NOISETUBE

NOISETUBE

NOISETUBE is a virtual reality & music visual experience. Feed it a song, space out, and be whisked away into a unique geometric journey.

Maybe you’ve encountered this feeling in real life: driving down the highway, or riding a bike, and the song you’re listening to just somehow feels perfectly in sync. NOISETUBE aims to capture this emotion of barrelling through space at just the right speed based on the intensity of the song.

NOISETUBE is powered by feeding it a music file from your computer and it generates an ever expanding tunnel for you to be shot through in space.

Uranus

Uranus

First I did not get how to play it…then I embraced the madness, and it just clicked. Everyone needs a little of Uranus in their live.

Real player with 3.5 hrs in game

This is a neat 1v1 game with cool visuals and music synced to what both players are doing, which makes it a delicious audiovisual experience as well!

It’s hard to master it, but you can practice in single-player mode with a bot for when you finally have your friends over after the COVID lockdowns and annoy them with the ridiculous cherub sarcastically blowing a kiss every time they lose a point.

神秘世界 Mysterious world

神秘世界 Mysterious world

There’s no reason for VR in this game. You’re playing 2D free to play browser quality java-type games from back in the late 90s or early 2000s. The music is pretty bad too. You don’t have to take my word for it though, just look at the store page video.

Rate 2/10.

Borealis

Borealis

TL;DR 4/10…This is a simple elegant game which should get a thumbs UP even though most people will get a quick zen moment for 10 or 20 minutes, then abandon. In theory, most any gamer could be happy to drop their 0.50-$1 for this on sale.

However, they took a simple one dimensional mechanic–and blew it.

There are only 13 modes. Meteors zip through the screen with various unique movements, but most of them are heat-seeking (to you), though with very wide turning radii. When encountering each other (or you), they explode. The 1st core rule is that you are not allowed to move your cursor (death-target) very fast. If you attempt to move fast, the game penalizes you by forcing you to move even slower than before. This is a fine rule in that it encourages deliberate, controlled movement, rather than quick, zippy motions.

Certainly not a bad game as such, but the original idea has not been executed as it could have been. As a “dot in space” (or elsewhere), you have to dodge incoming lines. Seems familiar enough, but it comes with a twist: you can only move fairly slow, and when moving in a fluid motion, you can “direct” the incoming lines (I can’t help of thinking about them as missiles) to a certain degree so that they slap into each other. The slow pace and the rather peculiar, somehow relaxing music, contribute to the overall feeling of ease the game offers.
