Mayhem Above

Непонятно, почему эта игра обделена вниманием, ведь она его определенно заслуживает! Mayhem Above - это вариация на тему "игры под музыку". На первый взгляд, конечно, совершенно не понятно, что творится на экране, но стоит поиграть подольше и геймплей становится понятен. Мы управляем неким космическим кораблем, задача которого, вращаясь вокруг планет, взаимодействуя и сталкиваясь с ними "пробуждать" их, тем самым набирая очки. Сталкиваемся с врагами, уворачиваемся от их лучей, отпрыгиваем от "баунсеров", набираем "беспредельную" скорость, увеличиваем звук и бьем рекорды. От музыки здесь зависит наше окружение, общая атмосфера и поведение врагов. Как и положено любой сходной по жанру игре, можно играть под свою музыку, либо использовать отличный встроенный саундтрек в стилях techno, trance, tech. Играть удобнее на джойстике. Локальный мультиплеер присутствует! К ознакомлению рекомендуется.

Неплохая игра, незаслуженно обделенная вниманием.

Maybe first time will be confusing. Second time will feel a little more comfy. Third time you'll be getting into it. And you probably will like it. This game concept is unique and unusual but it feels fun and challenging. The idea is to "grind" and "gravitate" planetoids to rise the volume and earn points. Each song and each time is different. You can add your own mp3 files to the game and play with it. Split screen is fun as hell to play with friends while you listen to your fav music. If you like odd music beat game gems, this is for you.

EDIT : Changing my review to recommended, as the dev is active and already fixed a few problems. That's a "cautious recommendation" though, and for people who enjoy playing with their music. It could be a good game, but : - 3 crashes in not even 2 hours => FIXED after first update it seems - unclear about how to score (or lose) points (case in point : on the same song, playing the same way, I made 400 points once, 8000 another time) - no remapping of keyboard inputs - relationship between music and level not quite apparent (to me) - moving your "ship" is pretty much a pita - minor : strange white border around the screen => FIXED after 1st update - overall, no real idea of what you're supposed to do - no answer from devs about all the above in 2 days (granted, that's just 2 days, but still ...) For these reasons, I can't recommend this game at the moment. It feels more like an early access title than a finished product, honestly. It could become interesting with a few updates, though.

A fun music game

Interesting game - I enjoyed it for the small amount of time I played it. The achievements sorta give you a realistic set of goals when playing, as sometimes you're only goal is a higher score. Although fair warning, the "Friend or Foe" achievement will require another player who's using a controller - If you haven't got that, download an emulator. Worked for me!
