The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of rhythm games and precision platformers who love pulsing electronic soundtracks and synchronization challenges.: Vectronom turns isometric platforming into an audiovisual dance where the level geometry shifts in strict time with an energetic electronic soundtrack. Finding the groove and hopping through constantly transforming neon stages delivers an intoxicating flow state. Tradeoff: Its unforgiving beat timing and isometric camera perspective can lead to sudden deaths from misread depth, while the concise campaign may leave players wanting more stages.
