Literally the only game out of my nearly 300 titles that I regret purchasing. Bought it at its release in 2009 and to this date I still rue that decision. The game does not syncronize to your music library at all, almost seemingly launching rays for you to catch at random. The developers swiftly abandoned the project after releasing it, so any and all hope of improvement was lost long, long ago. Take your $5 and spend it on a game that actually functions. Maybe 5 apps for your phone. Or a burrito. It's your call, but definitely heed my warning, friends.

This game does not work, and is not supported by the developer. Do not buy it.

Quite a simple game, but I do not recommend this for the price it is offering. I'm not exactly sure how this game encorporates your own music into it because it seems to me the projectiles appear randomly and the music just acts as background. Either way, it's Atari inspired, the only purpose of this game is to score the highest score possible. It requires quite the flexibility. There's a glitch in the game though, when the flower hits a certain size, the projectiles vanish for no reason as if it hit an object. I do not recommend this game at the price it's offering, it's lacking in many areas and the mouse control gets tiring and not relaxing. There are better Atari-like games out there.

One of the biggest piles of poop I've ever had the displeasure of playing. Please do not buy this even for your worst enemy.

Don't buy this game. There's a reason it has a 0% rating. Seriously, this is one of those "play your music" games that just play your wallet. The playing field isn't really generated with any "beat detection technology" at all. The game just seems to randomly spew out blobs based loosely on the BPM of the current track. The game's ugly as sin, the original soundtrack is awful and it's been bested by flash games on newgrounds from ten years ago.
