Just Shapes & Beats
When I first played this game it was just to impress my big brother on a like $500 vacation but now iv’e gotten pretty addicted. The games really good amazing story line and a very hard set of songs. And now that iv’e played the lost chapter the story makes a lot more sense. The ending blew my mind not giving any spoilers but some people may know what I mean. Also Annihilation is insane. But when it comes to making a game using square as the main character I was not expecting this much work and progress put into this. If you haven’t played this game yet and are just reviewing it play it know you won’t be disappointed. Well that’s all I have to say can’t wait for the next update!

RhythmSnake
RhythmSnake has a lot of potential to be an interesting and fun game, but right now the rhythm portion isn’t accurate, which makes the game very difficult and frustrating to play. 4/10

Sayonara Wild Hearts
This game touched me in a way no other game did before. The gorgeous visuals and the best ost I ever heard, paired with a compelling and subtle narrative, and gameplay that is simple but engaging turns It into an experience that transcends the limitations of its own media.
The only downside this game has is that its visuals, despite being one of Its strongest points also limits its acessibility. My girlfriend is photosensitive and this game is not easy on her eyes, which is a shame, since I wish she could experience Sayonara wild hearts as well.

Space Channel 5: Part 2
This is my first time ever writing a review for anything, so I hope that says something about how much I love this game! Where do I even start? the music is VERY good, the characters are really fun and the story is entertaining as well. theres a lot of different set pieces in levels that I find never leaves you feeling bored of the button pressing game play. I 100% recommend this game to anyone who likes rhythm games, or any sega/ dreamcast fans who never picked up this game before. I also think its really cool how theres different animations and lyrics to levels depending on how good your doing, lol. a couple of things that are kinda annoying is that the game sometimes gets out of sync with the audio, causing you to mess up, and sometimes when I press a button, the game wont reconize I pressed it. I find that you should play this game with the d-pad and not the stick, as it seems that it doesnt reconize when I shift directions on the stick a lot of the times, while with the d-pad it plays perfectly. I hope somebody finds this review helpful, have a nice day!

Beat Saber
Takes a while until it clicks and you enter a trance and beat that song that has taunted you for weeks. You can do an easy song and swing super hard or a tough song and enter max focus. Counts as exercise.
Extremely easy to mod with one click song downloads so make sure you get the custom songs as they play way better. If you’re only doing the default songs you’re barely playing.

Before the Echo
Very unique spin on an otherwise commonly used rhythm game mechanic.
Anyone who has played rhythm games is all too familiar with the standard mechanic of having 4 columns of arrows falling in tune with the music. Sequence manages to make a very strong tactical/multi-tasking game out of it by having 3 seperate grids. One grid is the mana grid, which you use to get mana to cast spells - it’s very common to miss lots of beats here in preference to landing beats on the other 2 grids. This is also where the beats primarily follow the song. Another grid is the defensive grid - beats that fall here and you don’t hit will reduce your HP until you hit 0 and lose. The other grid is the spell grid. At any time you have the mana for it, you can choose to cast a spell - the effects vary from dealing damage to the enemy, healing, lifestealing, hitting the enemy with damage over time, giving yourself a mana boost, boosting the strength of the next spell you cast. Each individual spell has its own beat combination that doesn’t change with the exception of inverting a few presses, left instead of right, etc, and also significant changes between difficulties. All these different spells are balanced by difficulty of input, how much blank space is there in between beats (to allow for swapping to other grids), as well as cooldown before you can cast that same spell again. Anything less than 100% on a spell input results in it failing, going on cooldown, and using up mana.

I received this game as part of one of the Humble Bundles, and I’m glad I did! I really enjoyed this game, and I would highly recommend it. :) I also think it is worth the $5 on Steam.
To give you a general idea of this game, it is similar to Step Mania only with an actual storyline. If you don’t know what Step Mania is, it’s basically DDR (dance dance revolution) for the PC. However, Sequence is kind of refreshing because it isn’t just arrows flying up the screen to music. In this game, you have three different sets of arrows that travel down the screen, and you have to switch between the sets. One is your defense, one is your attack/magic, and the other is your mana. This keeps things interesting and sometimes challenging (depending on the difficulty). Yes, you are battling enemies instead of “dancing” to music like you would in Step Mania.

BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
I have waited my whole life to hear Charles Martinet say, “soft, bulbous bosom.”
Runner2 is rather interesting. I wasn’t a fan of the original BIT.TRIP RUNNER. But I love Runner2. And the reason is almost everything about it. Runner2 gets nearly every single thing that it does right, and excels in all of those places where RUNNER fell flat. If this is what happens when the BIT.TRIP devs are able to refine and reinvent their own series, I’d like to see them do it more often.
Runner2 opens with our narrator, the legendary Charles Martinet (who you will probably recognize from his famous roles as Ray Trace in Space Quest 6, Civilian Male in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Police Station Reporter #1 in The Dead Pool, and of course MC Ballyhoo in Mario Party 8), introducing himself and the game, before taking us on a journey through the repressed imaginations of the disturbed.

BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is an amazing game. IT is a straight upgrade from the original game, and it addresses most of the first game’s faults, mainly difficulty. In the first game, if you got hit in a level, you would go all the way back to the start. In Runner 2, there are now checkpoints that save your progress after reaching the halfway point in the level. And this is where the game really shines. If you dont want to use checkpoints, or want that original Bit Trip feeling, you can jump over checkpoints and skip them, which even awards you bonus points for doing so. And if you find the game too easy, you can change the difficulty.

Chiptune Champion
What is the game?
Chiptune Champion is a rhythm game (similar to Guitar Hero/Rock band) that is based around Chiptune music. The game relies on you using the numbers keys (or whatever keys you choose to bind) to hit the notes as they approach you on the board. There are two modes within the game, one requiring you to strum and the other not. These two modes have different rules, however, as in strum mode you can hold down other notes while playing the current note and in the non-strum mode, you cannot.

EDIT 1: They now allow for tempos with two decimal points, so that’s a plus. Original review is below:
I’m loving this game thus far, but I’d advise others to wait until a patch or a few. The mechanics work well, at least for me, and the addition of being able to chart whatever songs you want, and upload them to the Workshop, is really promising (note though that this feature only uploads the chart itself, anyone who subscribes is required to locate their own audio). And I myself dig the soundtrack; chiptune isn’t everyone’s thing, though, so take that with a grain of salt. The note charts are also fun and challenging; if you’re like me, and can pass most songs on Guitar Hero and Rock Band with flying colors, then this game has you covered with fun charts.

Neon Beats
To put it plainly: I love this game so much. As a person who likes electonic music, the music for each level is excellent (level 2 is my favorite so far- the multiple beat drops are amazing). The controls are very simple, just left, right, and jump. I love the addition of the music notes on each level which, though they are not required, enhance the song with every one you get. Each one adds a new instrument/beat, which is plenty motivation for me to search for them.
The levels are a good difficulty, as well. You die like 50 times on your first playthrough of the later levels, but once you have figured out the map a bit more they become very fun to play through just to hear the songs. Dying only sets you back a few seconds in the song, and is not shoved in your face at all. You simply disappear and reappear, no flashing lights or harsh sounds. If only a soundtrack were released! The songs are around 2.5-3.5 minutes long when you go through them quickly, so if you just want to pop on real fast to play a level you totally can.

I’m not a big fan of 2D games, but this one right here, a masterpiece 3 , but there is some things i would like to recommend the developpers to focus on :
1- Add more free levels , I know you guys have 2 dlc for 1.99$ but still it’s not enough even if you buy the dlc.
2- Let the community create levels and share them in the workshop ,so other players will be able to download them and play them.
3- Add a multiplayer option, as an example 4 players party and the first one to arrive is the one who wins.
