  Just downloaded this game. I was pretty neutral, didn't know what to expect really. I played this for a while and found myself just sitting there with a gigantic f***ing smile on my face just enjoying the hell out of this game. The sound is amazing, controls are fast and responsive, visuals are clean and stylish and the gameplay is fun and just puts you into a zen like state of flow and enjoyment that is the nicest thing i've experienced in a long time. Yes, it's pretty simple but it's so very much worth its price (it's too cheap tbh). Honestly, if you don't get this gem you are missing out.

  Soundodger. A music-based bullet hell that scores you based on how perfect you can avoid [i]sound[/i]. The main objective, as aforementioned, is to be perfect at avoiding [i]sound[/i]--bullets that spawn into the playing field and follow a particular rhythm and beat of the track. There are four different bullets: linears, bubbles, homers, and hearts. In game, the hearts unlock a new track that can be played as well if you seek to unlock special achievements. [b]Soundodger+[/b] includes user levels, an editor, and auto-gen mode (creates a randomized level with whatever song selected). By default, there are six premade stages, five that, like the advanced stages, have the heart bullet that can help unlock the same bonus tracks. [h1]Review[/h1] [b]The Good[/b] I'm finding myself enjoying the editor a lot, using my favorite songs to craft nice and partially fancy levels. And after achieving perfection with the standard songs, unlocking the advanced stages as well as a couple heart stages, I'm in a constant liking of this game. A nice time-killing on a boring day. I have yet to officially unlock all hearts and getting 100% score on more advanced and premade user levels. [b]The Bad[/b] Part of me wish there were at least another mode to this game, possibly an alternative, where the game rates how well you can collect specific bullets. Auto-gen, too, isn't very good in creating stages either, but there must be a way they're done. I don't know what more to put here... [h1]Conclusing Comments[/h1] Soundodger is a pretty amazing game with all it already has. Plus, this game is accompanied with a worthwhile soundtrack that I fell in love with the more I kept playing those particular stages. Hopefully, I'll share some of my created stages with the public later on... --Hermix

  Not quite as good as I expected it to be. You sure need a sense of rhythm to complete the levels, however, what bugs me is that the level itself follows the beat, but not the moves you have to perform, which makes it feel very arhythmic. To be fair, it was challenging and I had some fun. 5/10

  I'm a big fan of the classic rhythm games - stepmania, osu! and the like. The games that get you immersed in the music and entwined with the beat. I could never get into audiosurf because the obstacles were on the beat, which meant you had to move out of time with the music - for me this breaks the definition of rhythm game. And I love bullet hell; played Perfect Cherry Blossom to death (which incidentally, had great music). So how does Soundodger+ stack up? Well, the bullet hell falls short at times. In a traditional shooter you have to focus on (a) dodging and (b) being in the right position to shoot your enemy(s). Here there's no shooting, just dodging -- which I have no problem with in theory, but in practice I found some levels had large periods of time where no bullets would come my way. I had a safe spot and with no other pressure to reposition I just sat still - which didn't make for very engaging gameplay. Other levels were better, including homing missiles to keep me on my toes. How about the rhythm? Well, there's two things that [i]absolutely kill[/i] the rhythm of whatever song is playing. The first is the slow motion ability which you invoke via the left mouse button. This slows down the music aswell of course, and for me the effect simply doesn't work. The second occurs whenever you get hit - everything speeds up for a short time which has a hugely jarring effect on the music. I'm not suggesting death should be fun, but in a rhythm game the music [i]makes the game[/i], and if you kill my enjoyment of the music you kill my enjoyment of the game. Fortunately you can simply avoid activating slow motion, and there's an option ("Easy listening") to disable the speedup when you get hit. So while I don't think these are worthwhile features, I don't hold them against the game as a whole. Soundodger does a pretty good job of matching the song's energy, both in pre-made levels and the auto-generated mode (when you plug your own music in). But it suffers from the same issue I had with audiosurf - it doesn't encourage me to move [i]with[/i] the beat, or draw me into the music. Yes the level is generated from the music, but the gameplay that emerges is on a totally different beat. As such I can't recommend it as a rhythm game.

  This isn't the best arcade game you'll ever play, but it's a lot of fun because of the carefully crafted patterns of bullets and other obstacles that really match the song that's playing. A lot of games pretend to do things with music, but this is one of the few where it's happening to such a detailed extent that it feels like the game is [i]dancing[/i]. The first time everything slowed and briefly moved backwards during a dubstep track gave me a wide grin. There's a diverse selection of music and a very long list of tracks—and thus stages—to choose from. Soundodger+ is certainly worth the modest asking price, especially if you enjoy bullet hell gameplay.

  Endless fun. You can do so much with the level editor and the soundtrack is great.

  Why should you get soundodger? Well, I think you should get it because the game is fun, good music, variety in said music, starts easy, but you'll soon realise that this game is not a cakewalk, the community is generally pretty good and there's an editor. The editor is mainly the reason why this game got so much replayability. Would I have put currently nearing 400 hours in it if it wasn't for the editor? no I wouldn't. I can't stop you from reading the negative reviews, however, I think most of them don't say correct things, so keep that in mind. You like editors? You like difficult games? You like relaxing games? with the editor and custom levels, there's bound to be stuff for you, lots of it. You can literally use any music you like, not even copyrights can stop you there. I guess the only real question would be whether you like rhythm games and bullet hells in general. For most people, I think this would be a game you could easily get into, so why not give it a shot? perhaps this is the game you've been looking for that you can just put tons of hours into. The game is also a bit broken, sure, that's not enough to make me not enjoy the game, but it is really annoying when they do happen. There's lots of bugs, and it feels like Bean, the developer just doesn't care anymore. On top of that, the game doesn't have the best performance, this is because the game is made in flash. While you won't really notice the lag if you're just playing normally, if you have a bad PC, or get into making really big levels however, you will notice that. And please, do NOT use 60 FPS mode. And can't forget to mention, make sure to fully ignore autogen. if autogen is what you're buying the game for, and many have done this, that is bad choice. (edit: it's so bad because it does not sync correctly to the song at all, it just pays attention to how loud it is) I'd give it a 9 or 9.5/10, overall it's fun, editor adds replayability, but bugs and bad performance make it less good.

  This game is really fun, but not for everyone. Even though I do think the appearence is very nice and do not care about the preferred 30fps you play it with, there is a slight problem: There is no real stress or adrenaline-powering motion within 90% of the game. Let me explain it a bit further. Most songs are pretty long, which isn't a real problem itself, but how the game works is that you try to hit as few 'bullets' as possible. The player is really free to move however he wants to, because he is not asked to move to a specific point most of the time, but to the emptiness to hide from everything that is flying across the screen. Even though this may sound promising, in reality it makes it really dificult to know where the *** you have to go for the first hours you play the game. Secondly, the only moment you feel happy is when you're able to get 100% out of a level, while hitting things doesn't mean you die, it only means a little number goes down. I do really think the game would be better if you somehow could die and the level started again, while it makes the ending of the song more of an surprise and makes you more active trying to dodge all bullets. The game looks like a very intens game, but when played, feels like the slowest thing you have ever done with a mouse, even though everything rushes past you. But this is all just my opinion, I have a few friends who don't think this is a real problem and LOVE it. So, even though I do think playing this game for a long time isn't really what it's made for, it sure is fun at the beginning. Sorry if my opinion isn't really build up well, first time doing this :p

  Great time. A very nice, minimalized version of traditional bullet-hell. It's also got a very extensive editor, which allows you to make levels for your own songs. (Can't do THAT, can you, Audiosurf?) A big draw to this game is the community, who are STILL making new content for the game, amazingly! Bean's also a super-nice dev, and he's suprisingly easy to reach sometimes. (He played one of MY levels on one of his streams! I got stagefright...)
