A hypnotic video game about music, geometry and flow. Vectronom is a music platformer. The game combines challenging platforming with rhythm based gameplay. The architecture of each level changes with the music, players have to memorize patterns and overcome obstacles while dancing through the game world. Unlike other beat matching games where the player has to follow prompts, in Vectronom players have a larger degree of freedom while playing.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Vectronom surprised me! I saw that it was a rhythm game but I hadn't expected the puzzle element at all. In each level you have to adapt to the rhythm, and then discern how it correlates to the pattern of tile movements and determine how you can safely move through the level. That's fun! It feels so fluid once you've figured out the right movement pattern and smoothly weave through a chaotic dance of disappearing tiles. It took me just over 5 hours to 100% the game, so it's a quick game and best to get on sale. The hardest achievements were for getting all the different badges on each level, but the levels are all very short so it's not too punishing even when you have to start over for the First Try badge (the hardest of the three.) I recommend this game to rhythm game lovers, completionists, and musical puzzle solvers.
