Game froze while my controller was vibrating. It never stopped vibrating. 10/10.Show moreShow less
I'm going to be straight forward with you. This is a really good game. It's algarythm is really solid, it's extremely easy to import your own songs, escpecially once you buy the itunes DLC, you have to pay because they had to buy the liscence to use itunes... However I do not recomend this game. On this page, this store page, it advertises Steam Workshop support. That is a blatent lie and false advertisement. Yes this game has Steam Workshop, no it's not included in the base game. Instead the develop is attempting to gouge more money out of you by making you pay 4.99$ for Steam Workshop. Yes you get some crappy other ships, but no one buys that DLC for the ships, they buy it for the Steam Workshop. The shear audacity of charging money for a feature that is FREE in every other game that supports it is incredibly daring and the Developer should not be rewarded for that. Because of this shady practice I honestly can't recomend this game to anyone, you should not be aloud to put a free feature behind a pay wall, especially when it's not even your work that your making people pay for. Sure make me pay for your ship designs, but dont' make me pay for other player's ship designs.Show moreShow less

Listening to Justin Beiber Christmas Carols while having a seizure was possibly the greatest experience of my entire life.Show moreShow less
One of the most overdosed games my eyes have ever melted on. Pretty fun if you really enjoy your music but it is pretty tiring with all those pixel flashes every milisecond. If you can handle it you'll get a kick out of it. Epilepsy/10Show moreShow less
I can't recommend this game because of one very major issue that i feel i should point out to any gamers who may also be susceptible to this. I have a form of epilepsy that isn't particularly severe, but can lead to loss of control of limbs and black outs. It is very rare for me to be affected by games, indeed i have only come across 2 in my life. One is Freelancer (though only when travelling through galactic jump gates) and this is the other. If you have any form of photosensitive epilepsy then DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, it WILL enduce an epileptic fit. It's a shame as it looks like a great old school shooter, but it's just too intense in the flashing and shaking imagery departments.Show moreShow less
Any game with a seizure warning is good in my book.Show moreShow less

Turning your plain boring playlist into a visual explosion that will burn your eyesShow moreShow less
Mindless arcade mayhem to your own music. Personally I can't stand it: the unending barrage of pulsating particle effects and full-screen strobing gives me a headache, and I usually don't have issues like that with video games. I wanted to enjoy it but it's hard to have fun when a game makes you physically sick. Your mileage may vary, but beware.Show moreShow less
