About the game
Short (50 words)
Soundway is a rhythm game where any song becomes a neon roller coaster through deep space. The music builds the road. It climbs with the build-up and dives on the drop. Catch the beat spheres, dodge the hazards and ride the built-in soundtrack or your own music library.
Long (170 words)
Soundway is a rhythm game where the music creates the road beneath you. Every song turns into a glowing roller coaster through deep space. As the music builds, the road climbs. When the beat drops, you dive.
Play the built-in soundtrack or import songs from your own library, and each one becomes its own ride. Quiet verses lay down smooth, flowing roads. Big choruses throw you into the air, and heavy drops send you down long descents.
Steer your ship across four lanes, catch beat spheres in time with the music and build your combo. Red hazards drain your health, and when it runs out the ride ends. Every song generates its own pattern of notes and hazards from its rhythm and energy. The same song always builds the same road, so you can learn it, chase a Full Combo and earn the Master S Rank.
The space around you moves with the music too. Quiet passages stay dark and calm, and loud ones light up planets, nebulas and black holes.
