6About Thumper
Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront a maniacal giant head from the future. Scream down the endless track and crash through punishing obstacles with simple, airtight controls. Hurtle forward, master new moves, reach overwhelming velocities, and survive epic boss battles. Every crushing impact is interwoven with a pounding original soundtrack. To reach synesthetic bliss, you must go through rhythm hell. Play in traditional HD or fully immersive VR (SteamVR or Oculus). Nine levels of Rhythm Hell . Adrenalizing Boss Battles, including the terrifying Crakhed . Simple Controls: one stick and one button . Psychedelic Visuals . Original Soundtrack by Brian Gibson of noise-rock band Lightning Bolt. .

So far I've completed 2 levels and got at least three angry boners
So far I've completed 2 levels and got at least three angry boners. I can't remember the last time a game would make me this angry without actually making me want to ragequit. Weirdly enough, this is also the first game that I'd actually rather play in VR. And on drugs. Good game, 10/10.

I feel like this game was made for me
I feel like this game was made for me. PROS -Feels good to play (responsive, never feel cheated out of a life) -High and stable FPS (nice on 144hz monitors) -Intuitive. There's no real walkthrough or in game guide, but it's easy to catch on to (almost) everything -Wide skill range. This game isn't as hard as some of the noobies that left negative reviews might convince you to believe. With a controller and a little bit of time and practice you can beat the game in less than a week, AND there is a high skill ceiling if you want to go for all S rank, AND a much higher skill ceiling if you want to improve your score on the leaderboards (and of course the much more unforgiving newgame+) -Visuals. The atmosphere is just amazing, fast, and scary just like I never knew I wanted it to be. -Sound. The sound is 70% of everything good in this game. I cannot give the sound guy enough props. It gets the adrenaline pumping while keeping you on beat and letting you know the beat to come. Brilliant. CONS -I wish there were more levels, or at least user made levels. I beat the game twice in <20hrs (1st playthrough + S rank) and even left the game open for a few hours. There's still newgame+, but they're all linear levels. Good for practicing, but it does kill the replayability a bit. -Lack of an in-game guide. This isn't a deal-breaker for me, but trying to figure out how to stay in the air during turns to hit those high arches consistently was a bit difficult without a guide. Everything else was mostly covered at points in the early levels. Note: There is a PDF guide if you right click the game. I found it after I beat it the second time. OVERALL: 9.5/10 Should you get it? Yeah. (unless you absolutely hate rhythm games)
