I just bought Beat Hazard in a post-party exhausted state.


Just played the game on easy


HOLY FUCK THIS GAME IS AMAZING! My senses just fucking exploded everywhere. I played a 2 minute long Choking Victim song, and now I have to take a break :lol :lol


Seriously, this is the best fucking game. I may have to go out and get a wired 360 controller just for this.

Damn it. All it takes is a post like that and I go buy it.

I actually really liked Babo Invasion when I played on a guest pass a few months back. The multiplayer was really fun.

Madballs is probably the most fun box of cereal I have had in a while. The Gaf Left 4 Dead crew has been having a blast with it.

 

[vertopci]

People love boxes of cereal for $2.50!

 

[Joe Molotov]

I actually bought a box of Captain Crunch on sale for $1.50 about a month ago

Did you get it during a Weekend Deal, or was it Mid-Week Madness?

 

[Twig]

No one bought it when it was $2.50 during the holiday sale!

Well I did.

Why now! HUH?!

:S sorry didnt see that thanks >.<

Man thanks for the heads up on Beat Hazard, never heard of it before today, had a mate around tonight and we tried it out on an LCD projector, was like an acid trip, I half expected to have an epileptic fit, the flashes get pretty intense, really fun game though.

 

[AcridMeat]

Damn it. All it takes is a post like that and I go buy it.

I hope you enjoy it.

Just tried to play a bit more (it's now almost midnight) and I actually had to stop. The flashes get extremely intense in low light with a 22 inch monitor 2 feet away from you.

Is Beat Hazard a dual stick shooter? How does it play with kb/m?

I enjoy it a lot, but some say it's too easy that way. I guess it controls better with a 360 controller, but I have no way to test that, so I'll stick with m+kb.

I didn't but I haven't played it yet.

 

[CryptiK]

Beat Hazard HOLY FUCK.. all I have to say my eyes still have flashing going on! Strobe to the max.

 

[CryptiK]

Wow this game is like pissing rainbows out of a spaceship

I wish I could piss rainbows I would be a very happy man if I could

High five!

We are desperate cereal horders though :lol

Cereal is delicious. There's nothing to be ashamed about!

Woot, Beat Hazard is actually rising in the top sellers list. Game is really awesome, even if it can be used to instantly give people seizures. I need to take break from the game every half an hour so my eyes don't die.

That's why I am not really interested in it.

I hate graphical overload in shooters. |:

Will probably give it a try if it gets really cheap though, because I also love games that use MY music.

 

[Volcynika]

Twig is just bitter since I got lucky before he did in Lead & Gold. My team was better!

 

[AnkhWeasel]

Beat Hazard is really pretty awesome, and the developer has said he'll be "supporting this game as best I can".

Really liking the interaction between Steam friends, too.

 

[bryehn]

Just bought Beat Hazard, it's a pretty basic asteroids-style dual stick shooter but holy shit is it flashy! It goes nuts listening to my drum and bass collection. Makes Super Stardust HD look tame. Runs well enough on my laptop too, pleased with the $7.50 purchase.

Good. Fucker better increase the navigation speed. It's a complete joke right now. There should also be an ability to set a favorite folder that you can quick-navigate too right from the start. Most of my music is in d:\\users\Me\MyMusic\AmazonMP3. Then I have to go into artist, then album. I hate it, and it takes way too long.

It's a bitch. I dunno, the game is okay, but Audiosurf is just better. The couple of times I've played Beat Hazard I usually end up playing Audiosurf after playing four or five songs.

Also: Slow songs are broken.

I actually laughed out loud when we were both lying there hoping to be the first to get the lucky hit.

Bitter is hardly the appropriate word!

P.S. Lead and Gold is really fun. People should get it. :3

I just broke and bought Beat Hazard as I just made a nice fat deposit at the bank this morning. I love Audiosurf so it will be nice having another music game option to play when I have a couple minutes to kill and I love to support the indie devs. I also love trippy shit.

Next sale, the cereal defense force will make sure everyone gets it.

Jeez man, it is hard being your accountant.

Question on Beat Hazard, though: does it support .ogg?

 

[Instro]

Trine got an updated with a new level today. At the end it teases Trine 2.

Reply from the dev:
"Hi there,
I can add OGG and ACC support - shouldn't be a problem. I'll put it on my list.
I'm not sure about iTunes though. As far as I know you can't access them from a game.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Steve"

 

[morningbus]

Nice, it looks like an update that adds .flac .m4a .ogg and .alac files is coming pretty soon, too!

I like this idea of patching in sequel foreshadowing, rather than leaving a game open ended from the outset for a sequel that often never comes.

 

[Davidion]

Getting that itch to buy Beat Hazard.

Goddammit.

 

[Stallion Free]

Jeez man, it is hard being your accountant.

At least it's not the type of game that gets put on a backlog. Also, I have money to blow! I already have my car insurance and gas money set aside for the month and I have *well* over my comfort level in checking. I sound like a drug addict defending their drug addiction. Dammit. It's not like I'm going to go spend this money on my girlfriend or save it for my future kid's college fund.

Trine is on sale for $5.00.

Trine is on sale for $5.00.

I think that's like the fourth time.

I keep passing it up because I'm waiting for the 360 version, but hell, two boxes of cereal, why not.

 

[Hawk SE]

Trine on PC is amazing.

Now I'll play it some more for the new ending.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

M.U.D. TV is now available for $29.99.

If Trine was the Midweek madness, I would of been pissed. What's next, a Weekend deal for Serious Sam HD? :lol

Don't. PC is the way to play it.

Although it looks like cereal has persuaded you. :lol

What new ending ?

 

[Hawk SE]

What new ending ?

The sale is because they added a new ending that teases Trine 2.
- Should have already updated if you leave Steam on.

 

[Stallion Free]

What new ending ?

It was explained a couple posts ago:

Trine got an updated with a new level today. At the end it teases Trine 2.

 

[Schmattakopf]

Yeah, I didn't really like the PSN demo, but if it comes out on 360, I'll give it a try and might double dip. I want to play local co-op with 360 controllers. I doubt it will, though.

I picked up Trine during the last sale, which was about two months ago I believe. Great game. Kind of short, we're talking like 5 hours of playtime but everyone should go and check it out. Some of the physic/puzzles are ingenius.

Ooh awesome can't wait to get home and try it out

If you like fantasy, pretty graphics, platforming and prefer singleplayer games, this is well worth the $5 for the couple of hours the campaign takes to finish. Screenshots don't do this game justice, it looks even better in motion.
