Opus - Awesome Flash game that lets you play music your own way. - Games

[img]http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/3497/opusle.png[/img] [url]http://www.opusthegame.com/[/url] Opus is an awesome Arcade Style Shoot em up mixed in with some rather unique and cool music intergrated features, Along with a kicking rad art style. Sort of like what would happen if G-Darius had a baby with Audiosurf. I've spent an hour on it myself playing my own collection of 8-bit chiptune music, which it seems to work [i]Very[/i] well with. A tip with any rhythm game like this, is to play very loud fast stuff if you want to increase the intensity of your gameplay thus inducing a barrel of fun. Here's text from the website. [quote]What is Opus? [b]Opus[/b] is a two-dimensional, constantly moving, side-scrolling, action, shoot-'em-up, with real-time music-based level generation. The goal of the game is to provide a forum for the player to experience the expression of music. The game's core function is to facilitate (in real-time) the player' experience of music as it is translated into gameplay. Load Your Music Players are allowed to load their choice of music (in MP3 format) into the game, which is then processed by the engine and made into a level. Players must then shoot and avoid obstacles and enemies, which are all spawned by the sound analyzer. The player's end goal is to reach the finale of the song without loosing all of their lives. Become the Hero Each song tells a unique story. Listen to your music in a new way. Powerup and Rack Up Points Opus has different sets of powerups and weapons that will aide in destroying the enemies. Collect point orbs and combo-kill enemies to increase your score.[/quote] Some pictures of the game itself.

Please support the team by spreading this game around as much as you can, and to anyone you'd think would enjoy a game like this, It's not a well known game yet, and I'm sure some recognition would be an awesome reward for the Team's hard efforts that went into making this game. You could also recommend songs to play for each other in this thread, what song has given you the best gameplay so far. This game will be worked on pretty regularly, so updates will probably come as soon as they can. [b]NOTE: Close all other tabs if you want this game to play flawlessley. Close any Youtube Tab especially, or Opus will take a seizure if you try to play it with both open[/b] [b]So on you go, Play it.[/b] [url]http://www.opusthegame.com/[/url]

This is really cool

Looks interesting. Trying it right now.

It's fun, but it's not like it's the best music game ever or something. [editline]30th April 2011[/editline] And it's pretty laggy (but that's Flash for ya)

[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;29526818] And it's pretty laggy (but that's Flash for ya)[/QUOTE] Close all your other tabs.

That was awesome, but Opus will always be a giant nosed political penguin to me.

Reminds me of Beat Hazard

I can only see half the screen, curse my 1024x768 monitor :argh:

Awesome song to play [url]https://8bc.org/music/Hiroshi/Lions+in+Soho+%28YLHCSD+remix%29/[/url] Get's really hardcore during halfway through.

Scummy by arctic monkeys is really good for this

I did Sax Man by Lonely Island. [img]http://gyazo.com/7326445707e6e0545b786f6ff8eca863.png[/img] I AM NOT FUCKING GOOD AT THIS GAME ARGH [img]http://gyazo.com/bcb56c9d5a5071dd7cbc234b7ed036e5.png[/img] LIKE A BOSS

This game is borked for me.I see wierd red things and my screen is laggy.

[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;29527545]This game is borked for me.I see wierd red things and my screen is laggy.[/QUOTE] Happening to me :smith: None of my songs work, it justs all gets stuck at the end.

[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;29527545]This game is borked for me.I see wierd red things and my screen is laggy.[/QUOTE] Close any YouTube tabs because they completely fuck everything up for some reason.

Just played Erasure - Always, this game rocks. A bit laggy at intense moments though.

Using the Elona Soundpack for this... ohlord Dragons and Toast :ohdear:

This could kick Beat Hazard's ass if it wasn't flash.

If they made this multiplayer, I have a decent idea how to do so. One player is the game, and plays it just like your average rhythm game. The other player is the ship, who has to dodge notes and such. If the game manages to time a note right, it explodes, making it harder for the ship to dodge it.

Holy shit this is golden.

[QUOTE=Wormy;29530230]I was hoping that this game was actually going to sync to the music. I got dissapointed.[/QUOTE] It does.

I'll wait for the downloadable version from them, even with nothing else open I still run into issues.

Holy fucking shit this game is awesome with Dubstep on.

Brain Damage - Pink Floyd. :flashfap:

this is so awesome playing this makes me feel awesome [editline]30th April 2011[/editline] Too Long - Daft Punk is so fucking awesome in this game!!!!! 10 minutes,gets interesting at 1 min pssshh,I know a secret,charge attacks are the way to go,but don't tell anyone

This needs to be on Steam

first impression - just another beat hazard knock off... second impression (played dragon force) - OMFG this game is off the fucking hook!

Just played this using the Red Dead Redemption theme. Got 100%

This is a kinda neat flash game. A downloadable version will definitely be something to get when they release it.

Played it with Brodyquest :v:

Is it just me or does the Song Intensity stay the same during different songs? [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/1g65p0.png[/img]
