About the Game

THE MUSIC DRIVES. YOU RIDE.

Soundway is a rhythm game where the music creates the road beneath you. Every song transforms into a glowing roller coaster stretching through deep space. As the music builds, the road climbs. When the beat drops, you dive. Dodge deadly hazards, collect beat spheres, and ride each song from beginning to end.

YOUR MUSIC. YOUR JOURNEY.

Soundway includes a built-in soundtrack, but the real experience begins with your own music library. Import your favorite songs and watch each one transform into a completely unique ride. Gentle verses create smooth, flowing roads. Explosive choruses launch you into the air. Massive drops send you racing down breathtaking descents. Rediscover songs you have heard hundreds of times from an entirely new perspective.

CATCH THE BEAT

Guide your ship along a four-lane highway where every beat matters. Beat spheres appear in perfect sync with the music. Switch lanes to collect them, build your combo, and multiply your score. Every song generates its own unique pattern of notes and hazards based on its rhythm, intensity, and energy. Deadly red hazards also appear throughout the track. Avoid them. Every collision drains your health, and when it reaches zero, your ride comes to an abrupt end.

SPACE MOVES WITH THE MUSIC

Every song takes you on a journey through its own unique corner of the universe. No two rides ever look the same. Quiet moments carry you through dark, peaceful space, while explosive sections ignite the cosmos with light and color. Travel past planets, stars, nebulas, black holes, and much more, all synchronized with your music.

EVERY SONG IS A NEW CHALLENGE

Every song becomes its own handcrafted-feeling level. Some tracks feel easy and relaxing. Others demand lightning-fast reactions and complete focus. Master every track, collect every beat sphere, earn the coveted Master S Rank, and chase the perfect Full Combo. The road remains the same each time you play a song. Learn every turn, master every obstacle, and keep pushing your high score. Your music library becomes your level-select screen.
