Our take on Groov
Rather than keeping the soundtrack separate from combat, Groov ties musical changes to player actions. Its shooter format also uses music-slowing powerups that affect enemy movement, connecting the audio concept to gameplay.
What is Groov?
Groov is a dual-stick shooter built around an intergalactic jazz fusion orchestra.
Actions in the game trigger musical responses, linking combat to the soundtrack. It has three modes, randomized music, and powerups that slow both the song and enemies. The vendor says these elements vary between playthroughs. The Steam release includes achievements and global all-time and monthly leaderboards, along with other improvements. The game was previously released on consoles.
