Beat Saber

Strong soundtrack

Melatonin

Respects your time

A charming rhythm game set in dreamscapes where animations and sound cues, rather than on-screen overlays, keep you on beat. Hand-drawn visuals and playful surprises make every level feel different.

Audio Trip

Strong soundtrack

A PC rhythm game where you play with your own music library, with each session shaped by the chosen song and accompanied by surreal backgrounds generated from the audio.

Synth Riders

Strong soundtrack

A VR rhythm game where you sweep both hands through notes in flowing, dance-like motions. Custom song support and an active multiplayer community keep it fresh for a long time.

Everyday Shooter

Easy to pick up

Everyday Shooter is an album of abstract shooters where every shot you fire triggers guitar riffs that weave together into the game's soundscape. Each level has its own musical and visual character, and the geometric shapes pulse and morph as you play.

Piano Tiles 2

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A simple rhythm tapper where you hit only the black tiles in time with well-known piano tunes and avoid the white ones. The speed ramps up quickly and tests your reflexes.

Riff Racer

Strong soundtrack

An arcade racer where you race the song itself: the track, colours and cars follow the music, and you score by staying in sync with verses, choruses and drops.
