History:

It’s been 8 years since the release of Beat Hazard, time sure flies! After completing a very different project, my F2P game Martial Arts Brutality, I decided it was time to produce a sequel.

Beat Hazard 2 will stay faithful to the eye bleeding and action packed game play of the original. By writing the game for the ground up I can improve on all areas and make the necessary additions required to bring the game up to date.
I’m looking to release a Beta version in the summer of 2018. I’m very excited about the addition of procedurally generates boss ships. I think this will add real intrigue to the game, wondering what sort of boss you’ll face at the end of each song.
