Bassline Sinker

Developer/Publisher: TheFitzyGames Released: March 6, 2019 THE BASICS OF THE GAME Bassline Sinker is a Shooter / Bullet Hell game that responds to your choice of music. You're a Stingray (I believe) and you do battle with various under sea creatures out to do you harm. It's a rhythm game, but you need not worry if you're not good at them. Choose the right music track, weapons and armor and that's it. If you're good at and enjoy good shooters, you'll have no problem with the play mechanics of this game. The response of your weapons to the music is quite good. No complaints. CONTROLS Keyboard. W, S, A, D, or use the arrow keys. I use the arrow keys. MUSIC 13 tracks are included, however you can add your own .mp3 or .wav music files. It's a breeze to add your own tracks. For copyright reasons I added a couple of music files from the YouTube Music Library. I simply downloaded them into MyMusic folder, copied and then pasted them into the "Basseline_Sinker_Music" folder and they were then a part of the game. Easy peasy. Click on Select Song and you will be given the option of using one of two music inventories. My Music and PreInstalled Music. Simply click on a track to hear what i…

Bassline Sinker is a hybrid "music" rhythm game and 2D side scrolling arcade shoot 'em up/bullet hell game. You choose a song from a selection included with the game (it's noteworthy the developer has properly credited the artists behind the songs and sound effects used) or choose one from your own library and then you get to play an arcade shmup, with the twist being that you don't control when you shoot, this is done to the rhythm of the song. Gameplay relies on positioning yourself so the right weapons from the right tones fire and hit the enemies at the right time. Whew, that's a lot of work for not much payoff. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features somewhat simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe …

Bassline Sinker is an inventive arcade shooter that combines bullet-hell action with music-responsive gameplay, creating an experience where the soundtrack does more than simply accompany the action. Developed and published by TheFitzyGames, the game was largely the work of solo developer Sean Fitzgerald, who handled its programming, artwork, design, and publishing. That small-scale origin is noticeable in its relatively straightforward presentation, but it also contributes to the game's distinctive personality. Instead of competing through elaborate production values, it focuses its energy on a clever concept: letting the player's own music influence what happens on screen. The defining feature is its ability to use MP3 and WAV music files. Once a track is added, the game reacts to its audio in real time, affecting weapons, enemies, and environmental behavior. This makes the choice of music an actual gameplay variable rather than a cosmetic soundtrack selection. Different songs can give battles noticeably different pacing and atmosphere, encouraging experimentation with various genres, tempos, and intensities. It is not a conventional rhythm game that demands perfectly timed butt…

Just like Audiosurf, it's an incredibly addictive game due to being able to import your own music. The game is really challenging and has huge replayability even with when playing the same track due to the procedural generation of enemies. The bosses are really fun to fight against and the enemies all have their own unique abilities! Really fun and looking forward to playing more of this game!

I loved this game, fun and works great with custom songs of any and all genres. The price definitely is worth it lol. I would 100% recommend it

Good in concept but not done well imo.
