auto-generated bullet hell that seems like a novelty nowadays

This game is a must for anyone remotely interested in both music and simple arcade games. If you pick the right tracks, you could very well end up with your very own New Year's Eve fireworks display, set to the beat of your favorite music, while playing a hugely satisfying and challenging game.

Played it for a while, but any song with slow or quiet parts makes it quite difficult to play.

Beat Hazard is a Asteroids-style shooter that utilizes your music in generating levels, but runs into the problem of not really tying the music to the gameplay all that well, at least not to maximum effect. BH tries to hide this issue behind a blinding amount of particle effects; to this end, if you have even the slightest hint of epilepsy, do not play this game!

i got to know The Killers through this game whoops

There's something weirdly formative about this game for me. I think the freedom to insert your own songs felt especially life-changing at the time. Much like Audiosurf, it's a great time.
