Hit the targets, hit the beat, hit the high score table

Published by at

Vector Beat is a beat-matching game where you are asked to tap a target whenever a bullet passes over it. The central gun will be firing out bullets throughout each level, and the only help you will have is the music - the bullets only pass the targets on the beat.

With nine original electronic songs, headphones are recommended on here, because keeping in tune with the music is the only way to succeed at higher levels. As you start out it's easy to eyeball when to hit a target, but as the guns start to move, and more guns appear, you'll be using both hands, lots of fingers, and concentrating on the accompaniment to pass the level - because if you miss you'll loose musical energy and 'game over' is only a stanza or two away.

It's just a shame that the vector in the app name reflects the path of the bullets, and not a vector graphic look like the old Asteroids arcade game!

It's a free download, and you can find it now in the App Directory here on AAWP.
