VapeFursSo instead of making one of those "HOLY SHIT FA IS DOWN EVERYBODY PANIC" Journals, i'd thought i'd post a review of a new indie game i purchesed on steam.
The game is like this: A fun mix between Geometry wars, space invaders and Audiosurf.
The plot of the game is that your music collection is beingcaptured and coruppted by some evil unknown entity and it is your duty to go in and stop it.
now there are some songs made by the creators of the game but i have yet to find them since the main focus here is freeing YOUR music.
here's how gameplay works.
you select the song from you music library and you are sent onto a small watter highway with your ship. enemies will enter from the sides or top of your music during almost every kick or snare that is played in the song (or from what ive seen since i listen to a lot of house an dubstep) and your job is to destroy them. now you do have infinate lives, but that dosnt mean you can't die. for every enemy that shoots or runs into you. you loose a part of your ship. Your ship can be repaired if you collect what's known as "insperation points" Insperation points or IP as i call them are these little yellow music notes (or green depending on how intense your music is during gameplay) are dropped by vanquished enemies. they also help you buy weapon upgrades and new blasters.
now during a few songs the entitie will pull you asside and introduce one of his 5 deamons that he controlls which are composers of the music you own. their souls have been curshed and they do his bidding. you must defeat these demons at least 3 times before they are freed and you recive a peice of the "symphony of souls". every time you complete a page you earn a chance to play at a harder difficulty. the higher the difficulty the more insperation you can earn and you will have a higher chance at getting rare items for your ship.
the soundtrack here really dosn't need to be said here. it's a music game that allows you to use your current music collection. now how this affects gameplay is this. The more agressive your music. the more agressive your enemies. if you want to play on the hardest difficulty but not have agressive enemies. play soft music. if you want balls to the walls action. play death metal.
overall this game is a fun little try out. its 10 dollars usd on steam and has had me hooke for the past few days while fa was down. i suggest you give this game a try!
