Beat Hazard is "an intense music-driven arcade shooter." What this means is that it is a reskinned version of Asteroids that looks like the love child of a fireworks show and a rave and that allows you to play your own music in-game (as opposed to just cranking up Spotify and then running the game on mute).
I received this game for free, and I enjoyed the 20 minutes or so that I played the game, but it's ultimately a very shallow, though flashy, experience. If you've played Asteroids or any Asteroids clone, you've seen most of what this game has to offer. The music integration doesn't add much to the game as far as I can tell. It's not a rhythm game, and I didn't notice anything syncing up with the tracks in the few sessions I played. Playing re-skinned Asteroids with HUGE EXPLOSIONS with your own music in the background is fun for a few minutes, but ultimately, the game is too shallow to hold my attention.
Also, there are a ton of flashing lights in the game. Don't play it if you have issues with this.
