Beat Hazard Music Visualizer arrives on iOS App Store
Cold Beam Games is continuing to roll out Beat Hazard Ultra across a number of platforms. The next stop for the Beat Hazard train is iOS. Before that game releases, however, iPad and iPhone owners are getting a taste of what to expect with the BH Music Visualizer.
The BH Music Visualizer adds Beat Hazard visuals to your music and to internet radio stations.The description notes that it works with iTunes tracks, however I’ve observed that it also works with MP3 tracks from other online music stores, such as Amazon and Napster. The app is available for free and contains a small ad bar at the bottom of the screen. Music lovers (or ad haters) can remove the ads for a one-time 99-cent charge.
The Beat Hazard graphic style is on full display here and it’s a great new way to play through my music library. However, I did run into a bit of a problem with my iPod’s Auto-Lock feature. Once the iPod locks up, the music and app both come to a screeching halt. Indie Games Channel has reached out to Cold Beam Games to inquire about a possible fix, but in the meantime, make sure to disable the Auto-Lock feature on your iOS device before using this app.
Those looking for actual gameplay to accompany their iTunes library won’t have long to wait, as Cold Beam Games will have Beat Hazard Ultra ready “soon” for all iOS devices. In the meantime, Beat Hazard Ultra is currently available on Steam and PlayStation Network.
Update: Cold Beam Games has responded, noting that they’re aware of the Auto-Lock issue and that a fix is in the works.
