About this game

Your favourite song has a dangerous side.

Pick an instrument and survive an arena that changes with the lyrics. Build your attacks, dodge the crowd and hold on until the song ends.

Read the lyric. Watch the arena react. Words trigger visual effects while you dodge enemies and build your attacks. More than 1,000 effects turn each song into a shifting battlefield.

Guitar, drums, violin, piano, flute, trumpet, tambourine or microphone. Choose your instrument, then build its attacks into a screen-filling performance with upgrades and relics.

Fight through Evergreen Forest, Neon Desert, Snowy Aurora and Volcano. Cross winding rivers and bridges, face each world's enemies and survive its musical bosses.

Choose from more than 50 included songs in the retro Videoclub, or import your own music. Manage your custom-song library and explore community content through Steam Workshop.

Build your next performance

Shape your run with upgrades and relics, then develop your instruments through the talent tree. Play Standard, take on No Hit or switch to DJ Session.
