They already had it figured out, how do you screw it up this bad? The gameplay feels sluggish, my phone overheats (iPhone 15 pro), there’s no dynamic screen, the menus are clunky. Just an overall mess. ### 3/5 — I thought… *2024-11-29* This was a audiosurf in space combat with the pew pew astroid fun. ### 4/5 — Love it but… *2023-10-27, version 1.16* It’s a great game and I’ve had zero problems…my only issue is, like some others have said, my phone getting hot quickly and the battery draining. Perhaps there’s just too much going on? Idk but hopefully there’s a fix…otherwise you should only play for short periods of time which is incredibly disappointing. ### 3/5 — Working now! *2023-06-22, version 1.16* Will update review soon. ### 4/5 — Should connect to other music platforms *2023-06-12, version 1.15* I love the game honestly I just wish I could use YouTube music or Spotify to play stages also it would definitely increase the player base and even help some people discover new music or playlists just a suggestion thanks for all your work amazing game. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2022-04-08, version 1.14* How was the first game so awesome, and this sequel feels like a giant leap back. The fact that developers haven’t seem to have done anything to improve the experience is incredibly disappointing. It feels so cramped and awkward. Maybe one day they’ll fix it. ### 1/5 — Refund *2021-11-03, version 1.14* How do I get a refund I don’t want it no more and I just bought it ### 3/5 — 卡在开始界面不能动 *2021-10-31, version 1.14* 请修复此BUG ### 2/5 — Ganz okay nur fehlt etwas *2021-03-10* Leider kann man keine Musik von Streaming Diensten benutzen ### 3/5 — Needs to support Spotify and Apple Music *2021-02-07, version 1.14* I have over 1000 songs on my phone because of Apple Music. Please release an update ASAP that will allow beat hazard 2 to support music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. I like getting new ships every time I complete a new song. But I’m almost running out of new ships since I can only play about 422 songs. The remaining songs are what I bought through Apple Music. Please get this update released ASAP so that I can continue to acquire new ships through the completion of new songs. Thank you ### 1/5 — Safe your money! And give mine back! *2021-01-01, version 1.14* I seriously want my money back this app does not start at all. I tap the app to start opens up black screen 1.5 sec and crash. ### 1/5 — False Claims *2020-12-30, version 1.14* Lemme make this short. The page that says this things cans your files for mp3s and ext doesn’t even work. I’m extremely disappointed ### 2/5 — Apple Music *2020-12-24* Mais comment faire pour jouer les pistes Apple music ? Rien à faire je n’y arrive pas .. j’ai acheter le jeu exprès pour ça .. dommage .. ### 2/5 — I should have listened to the other reviews... *2020-12-08, version 1.14* I enjoyed the first one so much! Yet, I felt that this was a HUGE step backwards. Yes, it’s beautiful, but there are things that I miss from the first one that aren’t in BH2. One thing is the floating screen... I can’t stand that the screen doesn’t move with the ship, like in the first one. My thumbs get in the way of some ships and end up getting destroyed. Another things is why remove the single thumb control?! I played this game because I wanted to chill and have a visual experience while listening to music that I store on my phone, but the dual stick wasn’t for me. Lastly, the GAME RUNS EXTREMELY HOT and this is coming from an iPhone 12 user. It’s unfortunate, but I actually want a refund. This is sub par to the first one. The only reason that I even went from the first one to this one was because I wanted to support the developer; however, this is not what I expected. ### 3/5 — Performance *2020-10-01, version 1.14* I’d give this game 5 stars but the performance this game runs at, even on the lowest graphics setting it jumps and lags like the frame rate ruining the control or flow of the overall experience. For reference I played on my iPhone XR and iPad Air 3rd generation. Hope there’s a performance tweak fix coming in the future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 17 pro max *2025-10-18* Ne fonctionne pas sur 17 pro max ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-01-22, version 1.16* Still crashes on startup. Too bad was a fun game. ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2025-01-09, version 1.16* I couldn’t even play the game, it crashes on the menu after select the way to play ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-10-07, version 1.16* Haven’t got to play this once since I bought it. Keeps crashing after it asks me what controls I want to use ### 1/5 — Tiene cierres inesperados *2024-07-29, version 1.16* Quizá una actualización sería de gran ayuda para evitar los cierres de la app ### 1/5 — Häufige Spielabstürze *2023-12-15* Spiel stürzt andauernd ab.Spart euch das Geld oder kauft lieber Beat Hazard Ultra ### 1/5 — App broken *2023-12-07, version 1.16* Crashes on IOS 17.2 iPhone 13 Pro. Completely unusable. ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-08-03, version 1.16* Game is broken and crashes on start up don’t buy ### 1/5 — Crashed after choosing language *2023-07-08* iPhone 14 Pro max ios 16.6 ### 1/5 — 5 Stars If Fixed (For iPhone 14 Pro Max)? *2023-05-26, version 1.15* Loved, LOVED the first version of the game, played it forever. Second version came out, and I saw it wasn’t updated for years, seem to recall it running hot for others. Saw it was updated and took the plunge, only to watch the authorization screen go on and on and never took me to the game. Tried again. Turned off the app. Turned off the phone. Still no dice. Runs hot AND can’t play the game. Sure hope they fix it soon. First one was so much fun… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Geiles game *2024-12-07* Teil 1 zock ich aufn Handy und den 2er aufn Pad. Macht einfach Laune. Hoffe der 3te kommt auch noch fürs iPad ### 5/5 — Plays awesome with headphones and a gamepad! 🤟 *2021-07-31, version 1.14* While the touch controls are intuitive, Beat Hazard plays even better with a controller. Unless you’re using iPad (that can be propped up) where you can get away with using any supported controller, I highly recommend something like the Nimbus+ for iPhones as it has a stable mount included in the kit. Beat Hazard 2’s introduction of the Hangar & Workshop bringing new ships opens up new ways to play the game. Otherwise, this is still that hyperactive light show with more enemies and bosses to keep you fighting over high scores on your favourite tracks. ### 5/5 — Música *2021-03-05, version 1.14* Alguien me diga cómo es que puedo encontrar mi música ### 5/5 — Please add capability of all songs. *2020-11-16, version 1.14* Amazing ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game! *2020-09-14, version 1.14* Really great, and fun to get new ships and compete for scores. Excellent controller support. Supports local music only, so you play your collection by syncing throuh via iTunes. If you have an iPad, be sure to choose standard zoom; otherwise, things look funky. ### 5/5 — SUPER!👌 *2020-07-04* 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Love the game *2020-05-13, version 1.14* The game is on another lever. I would like to use my Spotify songs just a thought. ### 5/5 — Buy this game *2020-04-13, version 1.12* Amazing (Probably shouldn’t buy if you are affected by flashing lights) ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2020-04-11* Très bon jeu de shoot ! Encore mieux avec une manette mfi. Sans achat in app surtout. Cela devient trop rare. Merci pour cette perle au rythme endiablé et explosions superbes! ### 5/5 — Grandioso *2020-04-08, version 1.10* Es increíble, sin duda es un buen juego superando el anterior. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
