Cosmophony

Cosmophony sits somewhere between rhythm games and Tempest, but instead of enemies you have to fight steeply rising difficulty level which becomes tiring in the third stage (out of just five) and absurd in the fourth. What was a bigger problem for me though was that instead of testing your skill and sense of rhythm Cosmophony makes you memorize the obstacles’ placement – it’s the only way to avoid them at breakneck speed.
