Oct. 2024

I had to download another program to make it work, since it's so old, but that was quick and easy. Symphony is a relaxing rhythm game. It's simple, but it's fun and i'm enjoying unlocking different weapons and power ups.

Oct. 2024

It's an OK retro arcade shooter with some unlock and ship configuration mechanisms. The real feature, of course, is the way it makes levels out of songs. Helped me to get reacquainted with my ancient music library, but also made me afraid of any sweeping refrains in my songs. Interface for browsing songs and such seemed pretty bare bones and the game didn't seem to like alt-tabbing when I was trying to make sure it got all my folders, but it's fine for what it is.

Sept. 2024

You can turn literally any song (over 1:30 minutes) into a level in this game, and it always feels perfectly on beat. I do wish they let you unlock "demon" as a difficulty setting after you beat the game though. It's a bit of a shame that those can only appear once per story.

July 2024

A rhythm game that combines Clone Hero with Geometry Wars. A weird digital demon has stolen the souls of all the worlds best composers and you have to shoot down enemies to the rhythm of the song that you pick. As long as it's an MP3 file, (and over 1 minute and 30 seconds long) you can play it in this game. I've defeated digital demons to the dulcet tunes of Weird Al, SiIvaGunner and various Friday Night Funkin songs. Seriously, this game is only as good as your musical tastes.

March 2024

The initial concept and idea of Symphony is really good and executed well, but it get's kind of repetitive and tedious in the long run. Updates adding content to the game, refining the system and especially adding more enemies, effects and a way of custom creating a level would've done it a big favour. All in all a solid game, just not that good for longer playsessions and definitely not for achievement hunting.
