The hook

The music is the mechanic

Most survivors games only ask where you'll move. Vectorhythm also asks when you'll fire. The soundtrack sets the tempo, and your timing decides how hard you hit.

• Fire on the beat

  Your weapons follow the soundtrack. Pull the trigger in time and shots hit harder, and the game grades every press so you know exactly when you nailed it. Ten seconds to learn, a whole soundtrack to master.

• Quick runs or deep dives

  Arcade is one track, one score, a few minutes of pure focus. Survivors is the long game: waves, upgrades, and a build that grows across a full session. Same combat, two moods.

• Chaos you can read

  Hundreds of enemies can fill the arena and you'll still spot the one that matters. Clean vector shapes and bloom that highlights threats instead of hiding them. The screen gets loud, never confusing.

• Roguelite depth

  Survivors mode adds a skill tree, Shards to spend between runs, and modifiers that bend the rules. No two runs build the same way.

• Bosses that keep time

  The Conductor attacks on the downbeat. If you can hear the pattern, you can dodge it — the music and the bullets are the same thing.

• Plays where you play

  Built for Steam Deck from day one, with controller and keyboard support, colorblind options, and menus in ten languages.
