Why it hits different

The music is the mechanic

Vectorhythm layers a rhythm hook onto a bullet-dodging survivors core. Fire on the beat, dodge on instinct — the better your timing, the harder you hit.

  • Play on the beat

    A single audio clock owns the music. Primary fire is graded against the chart, secondary fire against the beat — nail the timing and your weapons hit harder.

  • Quick runs or deep dives

    Arcade is pick-up-and-play — one track, one score, a few minutes. Survivors is the long game — a roguelite you build across a full session. Same beat-combat core; you pick the depth.

  • Thousands of glowing shapes

    A data-oriented core pushes hundreds of enemies and bullets at once, rendered as pure HDR neon vector art with real bloom.

  • Roguelite depth

    Survivors mode layers a skill tree, Shards meta-currency, arsenal upgrades and run modifiers over the core loop — every run builds differently.

  • Beat-choreographed bosses

    The Conductor fires its patterns on the downbeat. Read the music, read the bullets — they are the same thing.

  • Built for everyone

    Steam Deck verified, colorblind options, twin-stick or keyboard controls, and full localization in 10 languages.
