    Soundodger - new rhythm game

    This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while.





    There's an upcoming deluxe version for Mac/Windows. Any thoughts?

    The music, by the way, is absolutely beautiful (or at least the two songs I've heard so far).

      Looks like a touhou bullet hell with some music in the background (I didn't see much connection between the music and the "patterns" if you know what I mean. Seems neat though

          I think there's more relation to the music than it seems. It's not as musically precise as something like Stepmania, but it captures a certain mood for me that just strikes my fancy.

          Game gets really cool from the dubstep level:

            this is one a rhythm game where you are not required to be in-sync with the music - but rather you act as an individual in an environment that is controlled by the music

            which is why most might feel that the game isn't as intuitive as stepmania, and that's understandable !

                Honestly speaking, it makes the chart/patterns more variable and abstract in that sense that you can do almost any pattern and no one can say you're wrong. Love it.

                  Wouldn't really call this a rythm game just like I wouldn't call audiosurf a rythm game for the most part as actually being accurate isn't a part of the game.

                  Its cool though. Really digging the music.

                      bullet hell + music = this game

                      an interesting combination, might give it a try when it gets released for windows

                        could you elaborate on this? i don't see it personally since there doesn't appear to be a concept of pitch so i'm not sure that's true.

                          Some songs are lackluster but some songs have absolutely amazing maps.

                          Katapult is probably my favorite.

                          Shame that there's only like 6 songs though. I'll probably buy a deluxe version if it offers a bit more songs and has the ability to play custom maps.

                            It isn't really a rhythm game, as it's more of a music game (a game that's heavily influenced by music, but does not require the player to gain some sort of rhythm to do well).

                            Still, it's a unique take to this game. It's kinda reminds me of Beat Hazard but focuses solely on dodging bullets instead of taking out ships.

                              Its available on steam and its well worth it IMO, the built in editor for making your own maps is pretty simple and fun to mess around in. And some of the extra songs are really really cool.
