EUPHONICS

In this arcade shooter, you fly through a crystalline wormhole and shoot aliens to the beat of techno music.

Aliens that feed on electronic music have stolen earth's techno.  Infiltrate their wormhole and destroy that crystal planetoid at the center to release the beat.

All graphics are procedurally rendered and written in C++ using Ogre.  The environment and aliens are procedurally populated and controlled by events that are synchronized to the music.
