About the game
Beat Hazard 2 is a music driven arcade shooter. Each of your songs will have its own unique ebb and flow based on the music. Power up your spaceship and watch as the music boosts your firepower. Unleash hell on the enemy ships when you max out with weapon pickups!
Pushing the boundaries of music powered gameplay, the sequel will include procedurally generated boss ships. Each track will create a unique archenemy ship for you to vanquish.
How to use custom songs
Beat Hazard 2 features support for custom songs. On the Vita port, songs in .wav, .mp3, .flac and .ogg formats are supported.
Songs must be placed in ux0:data/hazard/songs and an additional metadata file can be added named as "filename_of_the_song.format.txt". In this file, two parameters can be written:
artist=Name of the artist title=Name of the song
Those will define respectively what the game will use as Artist name and Song Title. If this file is not provided, Artist will be set as Unknown and Song Title will be set to the name of the song file stripped from its format.
In order to categorize songs by Albums, you can create subfolders inside the "songs" folder with the name of the album in question and place inside that the songs of said album. Here is a practical example:
In this example, the song in question will be shown in the game as:
Artist: Dragonforce Title: Reason to Live Album: Ultra Beatdown
