Symphony -- Indie shmup for PC

[ExedExes]

I downloaded Symphony from GOG.com this week, I wanted it for a while and it was on sale for 75% off!

Each "level" is generated by music files on your computer (and not just MP3s either, I found out, it accepts a few extra formats) and the enemies are dynamically generated by the music, and the more intense the music is, the harder the enemies will be. After every stage, you unlock a new weapon to purchase, and you have 4 "guns" on your ship to assign them to (or you can upgrade a current weapon). One in a while one of the "demons" in the game will challenge you to a boss battle as you're playing, and defeating them gets you a piece to a song that will "liberate your music" from its evil control.

It's no bullet hell, it's more of like an old school style presentation with really nice looking vector style graphics, but there are features such as chain scoring, online leaderboards, achievements, and most of the modern amenities that newer games have.

$10 on your digital download service of choice or at www.symphonygame.com, highly recommended!

With my lack of playing prowess, "How Deep is Your Love" will end in "Tragedy!"

I have to say I played the heck out of this for an hour and I am hooked, especially listening to some of my faves, such as One Night in Bangkok, Children of the Sun, Pompeii, and the Tron Legacy soundtrack.

That's awesome to see others trying it out already. It's just so amazing how pretty much any audio (over 1:30) will work with this. I love the random boss battles too, and there's really no limit to how many levels you can actually play.

It is a pretty cool game and well done. I picked it up from GoG for $9.99 which isn't too bad.
