Some suggestions 1. I might just not be looking hard enough, but there should be a way to choose which track you play during the game, as when switching tracks in the lobby does nothing to when you actually play. 2. All I see are bullets being shot. Maybe mess around and try different kinds of weapons for different parts. For example maybe an exploding projectile for drum hits, an area attack for bass, machine gun for vocals, and a shotgun for guitar. Obviously up for change. All in all a very promising game, just needs some work to make it have more ‘eye candy’ qualities for viewers ### 3/5 — Nouveauté embêtante *2025-11-21* Jeux trop bien mais on peu plus mettre les musique de son téléphones Apple, c’est très dommage c’est le principe du jeux, faites une mise à jours svp ### 5/5 — It’s pogerrs *2022-02-05, version 1.12* It’s better than fnf word girl and neco arc it’s a forgotten masterpiece I can’t wait for beat haserd 3 ### 5/5 — Since the beginning *2020-03-26, version 1.12* I’ve been been enjoying the greatest way ever to have fun with your favorite music and play in game with my playlist and feel/see the power of music gives you but the game will give you just an equal challenge to get to the end of the song it’s so much fun if you like amazing visuals and love to listen to your music and game because of it then get this app now and make sure to download it again when you get a new device because it’s worth it ❤️😎🎶 ### 5/5 — Good game! *2020-03-11, version 1.12* Just turn down the intensity and you should be good. Them flashes while playing the game can get you dizzy in seconds😎 ### 2/5 — Pretty, but... *2020-03-05, version 1.12* ... its controls were annoying on my iPhone 6+. 😣 ### 5/5 — Optimize *2020-01-15, version 1.12* Definitely still play this game. Should update for game fits the new iPhones. ### 4/5 — Apple Music support *2019-12-19, version 1.12* I love this game but I would really like to seem the developers have the added option to use Apple Music because there shouldn’t be a reason it can’t be done right? You still pay for the songs every month and they are still in your phone so it should be compatible. I think this game is amazing but I would like to see Apple Music support come for this game. ### 5/5 — Player since 2013 *2019-12-01, version 1.12* I’ve been playing Beat Hazard Ultra on and off since it first came out and this game is one of my favorites here on the iPhone. I am normally a console (mobile or not) and PC player, but this is nice way to burn some time during lunch or whenever I had time to burn. Gameplay: This formula is tried and true for this genre and Beat does a good job with the classic top down view action. You have upgrades and items to use and each new song you play keeps you jamming while you play. The high score ranking and reward system is also a great way to compete against others and provides a goal to strive to and keep playing: Graphics/sound: Beat has great, rave inducing old school graphics that do a wonderful job keeping to the beat of the music and the special sound effects are well done One thing I do wish they would include, and I would gladly pay for, is a DLC option for a story of some kind that could explain why/who you fight and why we have to use our music to play. This would add another dimension to the game and would allow a new player to get used to the mechanics before they go and chase after the leaderboards. ### 5/5 — Just great fun *2019-10-22, version 1.12* Blasting stuff to your tunes is great fun and it has been regularly updated- a glorious fun way to waste time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Games crashing *2026-03-11, version 1.12* Ever since the 2 came out game Will not even load was one of my favorite games now can't even play I have uninstalled 3 times still nothing . ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-04-12, version 1.12* This game does not start on iOS.18. Shame I enjoyed playing this game. ### 1/5 — I paid for a game dont work *2025-03-08, version 1.12* Still not working ### 1/5 — Need to collaborate with pandora *2021-09-01, version 1.12* Wish you can play with pandora music app smh worst purchase I made ### 1/5 — Freezes and only plays 3 tracks *2021-02-10, version 1.12* I used to have the OG game and I loved it... I paid for this game thinking it would be the same, it’s not. It will not let me play my music and it constantly freezes with its only 3 tracks. I want a refund! This is nothing like the original. Don’t waste your time or money ### 1/5 — Doesn't play my music *2020-04-04, version 1.12* It only found like 2 songs out of my whole library. The next day they stopped working. Tried using the game's refresh song list function but that didn't work. If there's a special way to make it work, they don't make it easy to find. ### 1/5 — Update *2020-03-18, version 1.12* It won’t play music from Apple Music ### 1/5 — Music *2019-12-17, version 1.12* Make Apple Music supported please that’s the only reason I payed for this game.. ### 1/5 — Compatibility *2019-10-25, version 1.12* Was an amazing app until now due to the app not being compatible with Apple Music/iTunes Match music. Developer has not released an update to have the app flow in sync with iOS 13. There goes my money. 😢 ### 1/5 — Support Apple Music *2019-04-15, version 1.12* Played this game a lot a while back and it always synced but now nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-07-29, version 1.12* Nothing more needs to be said ### 5/5 — Oh my gosh I love this. It uses an awesome and underused feature for playing via Airplay *2026-06-01, version 1.12* When you AirPlay this game it uses your tv as the game and your phone as the controller and info screen. WHY DO MORE PEOPLE NOT DO THIS!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-01-03* I just would like to mention that I love the care on making the app work like a joystick and show only useful information when using screen mirroring. I wish more apps and games had that thought. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT! *2026-01-02, version 1.12* Just pure greatness! ### 5/5 — Controller support *2025-09-24, version 1.12* Add controller support ### 5/5 — Favorite *2025-09-24, version 1.12* Always loved playing this game growing up! I’m glad it’s still here ### 5/5 — Highly Original 😃😀😉 *2025-01-31, version 1.12* Listen to your favourite tracks whilst blasting away the enemy - what more could you want👍👍👍👍👍 I recommend the following track to play this game with : Paul Oakenfold ' Ready, Steady, Go'. AWSOME.......!!👍👍😀 This app no longer works on iPad 10 with iOS 18. 🙁🙁 ### 5/5 — I love this game No adds *2025-01-06, version 1.12* I have play this game off and on for years. The past week it stopped loading just white screen please help.im on iPhone ### 5/5 — Had for years! *2022-12-27, version 1.12* One of the first I ever downloaded on old ipod4 I just got my new iPhone pro max 14 and decided to try it. Still awesome game still works perfectly the music lighting and how the volume gets louder the more u collect an power ups. What a awesome game still after all these years I’m still hooked!! Great job guys thank you for keeping it alive and not killing it like so many greedy devs do🥰 ### 5/5 — One of my favorite games. *2022-05-22, version 1.12* I’ve bought this game on about every platform I own. I still play it. It’s one of my favorite games. I just bought a backbone and thought how amazing would it be on this game. I was sad to find out there is no controller support. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
