* NintendoHard: Think you're good at this game? [[Music/XJapan Art of Life]] will still make you its prison bitch. The first 3 minutes of the song are slow and quiet, meaning you will die. A lot.
** Want to go insane? Select the [[VideoGame/{{Halo2}} Delta Halo Suite]] and set it to Insane. Proceed to flip out. It's over 11 minutes long and has silent parts.
** Take any long trance/thumping techno band of any sort, such as Infected Mushroom. Special mention goes to their song "Psycho" which has a nasty tendency to throw a boss at you at ''the beginning of the song''. [[FromBadToWorse It only gets worse from there.]]
** For a piece of Hell under the 5-minute mark, try [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Clear Mind]] on Hardcore. There are barely any breather spots so it's hard to get your multiplier up, and it will also be hard to see what's going on whilst everything is trying to kill you.
* NoPlotNoProblem: And who needs one to blast away an armada of space ships, asteriods, and robotic serpents while raving out to your favorite music anyway!

'''''Beat Hazard''''' is an indie ShootEmUp created by Cold Beam Games and released on [[XboxLiveArcade Xbox LIVE Indie Games]] (the original game's debut), {{Steam}}, the {{PlayStation Network}}, the Apple App Store (for Macintosh computers and [=iOS=] devices), and Android smart phones and tablets. The premise is simple: choose a song, which in this case is a level, and shoot stuff up. The things you'll battle against consists of [[AsteroidsMonster space junk of varying sizes]], [[MookMobile small]] {{space plane}}s, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs big space planes, smarter space planes, bigger AND smarter space plane]], [[DualBoss two big star-fighters]] armed with [[WaveMotionGun laser cannons]] and {{homing projectile}}s, [[LargeAndInCharge gigantic battleships]] armed to the teeth with weapons, and then some. In other words: [[TriggerHappy shoot anything that moves]].

Ever play ''VideoGame/{{Asteroids}}''? This game should look visually familiar. That is, until the space behind [[SpaceFighter your ship]] suddenly becomes a psychedelic audio visualization. Your small fighter craft appears in the middle of the screen, things fly in from all sides, and gotta you dodge 'em and shoot 'em. Now, here's the catch: the game's difficulty level is also controlled by your choice of music, not unlike in ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}''. Survive the whole song and you complete the level -- which means that EpicRocking equals MarathonLevel. Your spaceship's guns shoot faster and harder the faster and louder your chosen song is. And, on top of that, there are [[PowerUp Power-Ups]] that make the music even louder and, of course, increase the power of your guns. If you need a breather, there's a SmartBomb that does that harms everything around your ship's surroundings.

In Normal Play, you choose a song and play through it, and you're done. Pick a new song, shoot some more bad guys, rinse and repeat. If you prefer, you can engage in [[EndlessGame Survival mode]] and see how many songs you can get through before you lose all your lives. With the addition of ''Beat Hazard Ultra'', the game adds a new variety of enemies (like the Mini-Serpents and [[TakingYouWithMe Reapers]]), new game modes like a BossRush mode, new special weapons to play around with, an even ''[[UpToEleven HARDER]]'' difficutly, and more.

Beat Hazard is an indie ShootEmUp created by Cold Beam Studios and released on Steam, Xbox Live Indie Games, the PlayStationNetwork, and the Apple App Store. The premise is simple... choose a song, which in this case is a level, and shoot some bad guys, consisting of space junk in various-sized clumps, small [[SpacePlane Space Planes]], bigger [[SpacePlane Space Planes,]] smarter [[SpacePlane Space Planes]], [[BossFight bigger, smarter]] [[SpacePlane Space Planes]] and [[BossFight even bigger]] [[SpacePlane Space Planes]], which are armed with multiple weapons to take you down. In other words, [[TriggerHappy shoot anything that moves.]]

!!'''This game displays examples of:'''
* AbnormalAmmo:
** Your EnergyWeapon, which could only be called a [[VideoGame/{{BattleZone1998}} Rave Gun,]] shoots streams of technicolor ''awesome'', fueled by '''music'''.
** In ''Ultra'', some of the bosses have guns that shoot other, smaller ships at you.
* BeamSpam:
** The deadly Tracker Cannon on boss ships. First, it uses a LaserSight to aim at you. Then, it launches a salvo of beams at the place it locked you at. Hope you managed to move out of the way.\\
\\
The worst part is that there are two (three after the Ultra Patch, although the third one behaves differently) variations of that cannon. The first one fires a beam at the spot it's locked on, the second one fires two beams slightly off the spot. So if you can't get really far from it in time, you have either get out of the {{laser sight}}s, or stay in them. If you guessed wrong, you die.\\
\\
Lord help you if the Tracker Cannon is the last thing left on a boss when on Suicidal - the charge time (the time the laser sight is visible) is barely long enough to react (barely 0.2 seconds), and the cooldown between attacks is pretty much nil.
** This gets taken to another level with the Ultra Patch allowing bosses to have multiples of any weapon. Including [[DualBoss Dual Bosses]] with two sets of the [[hottip:older Tracker Cannons:The ones that actually aim at you or just to the side of you]] on them. [[http://i56.tinypic.com/a3kytt.jpg Oh, crap indeed.]]
* BulletHell:
** You shoot a lot. The bosses shoot a lot too. Some things you can shoot down, some you have to dodge.
