The task of the player is to destroy all enemies in an level to be able to cross the bridge to the next level.

Destroying enemies is however not done by firing at them but by pressing keys to the rhythm of the music. This reminds me a little bit of Guitar Heroes without the guitar, that is. If the timing is good enough a stream of colorful light will seek the closest enemy. This has to be done until all enemies in that level are gone.

The excellent tutorial is a must. It explains the default controls of the game and all game mechanics. Enemies spawn for a certain time from so called spawn points which create a limited amount of enemies before they disappear.

The player has access to some spells as a last resort which function as smart bombs in an area. At least the ones that I tried.

Synaesthete is an incredible game offerings lots of fun.
