Welcome to the next generation of music driven gaming.

Signal to Noise is a music-driven action game. However, that does not mean it is a typical rhythm game. Taking inspiration from some of the greatest classic games ever made, it’s a high-octane hardcore rail shooter first and foremost that just so happens to build itself in front of your eyes from any music you play.Analyzing more audio components than any music-driven game before, Signal to Noise pieces together your experience based on the dynamics, pitch and tempo of your chosen track, interpreting it phrase-by-phrase and crafting your experience on the fly. Enemies, power-ups and the arenas themselves act differently each time you play a new tune.

Designed by passionate classic gamers, this game has what could be the strongest focus of any modern game on what made point-pressing and competitive high score play in classic arcade games so strategically deep and satisfying. With an understanding of this type of play unrivaled elsewhere in independent games, Signal to Noise has been designed for the players with the greatest understanding of the game and greatest skill to come out on top in the leaderboards. Even still, while competitive play and depth of mechanics is a great focus of the design, the game is fun for everyone that likes music and video games!

MUSIC ARTISTS:
If you feel your music works especially well for Signal to Noise, feel free to submit your music to

for possibly being the featured artist in a future tournament period. The best way to know is to try the normal game yourself with your music. Tournament Edition is exclusively for a set song each period, but Signal to Noise itself allows any music from your own library, even live music!
