Bass Invaders

A great rhythm game with some great mechanics. Relaxing whilst also offering a challenge. A fun little story too. The artwork is particularly good. Very much recommended.

A rhythm game that works with any audio file! Either load in a song from a local library if you're old-fashioned or stream something online using the in-game interface and the game generates enemies appropriate to the song and difficulty level. It also has a campaign mode telling an alien invasion story with songs, (in a wide variety of genres), composed specifically for the game. The controls can be tricky to get the hang of, but it has a range of difficulties if you're struggling, and there's a local co-op mode where you and your partner can revive each other.

My friend encouraged me to impulse buy this game while it was on sale for 10 dollars and this is by far the best 10 dollars I've ever spent. Even at the standard 15 dollars this game is well worth your money. Admittedly the best part of this game is the auto-mapping and while it does have it's issues overall it's decently accurate and as you add more songs that you like you'll find what works better and what doesn't. My one critique is I wish there was more customization for level difficulties.
