Initial release.
Beat Hazard Arcade fuses intense twin-stick arcade shooting with pure music synchronization. Driven by a dynamic audio-processing engine, the intensity of your weapons, enemy spawn rates, and light displays are completely dictated by the music tracks playing. Battle giant boss ships across rhythmic solar systems, harness massive bombs, and upgrade your ship abilities as you turn music into an explosive interstellar warzone.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Beat Hazard Arcade is an absolute sensory overload in the best way imaginable. If you love classic twin-stick shooters like *Geometry Wars* and have a passion for music, this game is a match made in heaven. The way the visuals and weapon strength pulse to the basslines and crescendos creates a mesmerizing flow state.
The thrill of firing up a heavy electronic or metal track and watching your screen erupt into a blinding supernova of lasers and explosions is unmatched on mobile. Controls are tight, performance is silky smooth, and the progression system gives you plenty of incentive to replay favorite tracks.
It’s intense, gorgeous, and endlessly replayable. Put on a good pair of headphones, fire up your favorite high-tempo tracks, and enjoy the ride.

Gameplays

Launch Day Hiccups
Tue Jul 07 2026 AstilexUPDATE: It seems the developer updated the UI and now the IAP button is available. I’ll Take back that single star and update it to a 4. I’ll update my review again when I’ve spent more time with the game. I was really excited for this game and I was ready to just insta buy it. But the IAP option simply does not exist. I’ve checked every menu while getting bombarded with ads in the process. I’d like to see this fixed but between the excessive ads and the missing IAP I’m gonna have to single star this game. Not a great start. And mind you I grew up playing the older beat hazard games so the expectations were high
Apple Music not supported
Tue Jul 07 2026 BobSSmithSo why does it scan and include those Apple Music subscription tracks then errors when attempting g to play them? The menu system isn’t nearly as user friendly as BH Ultra. Unlike Ultra, it isn’t clear what is or isn’t selected whereas Ultra was perfect for touchscreen selection. The Arcade version screen doesn’t size properly so the edges are cut off as well as text. It should have a portrait display option for mobile gaming which is what most people do while using a phone for breaks, travel, etc. Haptic feedback is also very useful for mobile and it’s missing. Was this beta tested for iOS?
