Thumper

Easily taking the title of “Best Looking Note Highway” from the hands of Amplitude and Audiosurf, the stylish “rhythm violence” game Thumper made a stir by announcing it will be coming to Steam and PS4 in 2016. Elegant simplicity is Thumper’s stock and trade, as players use one-button inputs to guide a chrome space beetle down a note highway, all while electronic beats dictate the rhythm. Boss battles should add gameplay depth, but it’s the trippy visuals that ensure you mistake Thumper for anything else.
