About the Game




Shoot to move. Shoot to make music. This retro twin-stick shooter brings back the feel of a classic arcade game with thumping synth beats and sound generated by your actions. Master the unique 1-1 control mechanics to unlock the perfect build, all while racking up style points by laying down sweet bass lines.

Twin Synth is part game, part groovebox. It's part twin-stick shooter, part synthesizer.

Feel the beat in this action-packed & rhythmic twin-stick shooter where two guns are better than one. Use the unique momentum-based movement to synthesize a symphony of sound while you play or delve deep into the custom 'synth section' at any time to craft your own soundtrack.

The only game that let's you literally create the soundtrack while you play - no audio samples are used in the game at all (all sounds are generated at runtime) and so the player has full control over what they hear.




No thrusters, no engines, just Twin blasters. Shooting pushes you in the opposite direction, so shoot carefully! Shoot both guns at once for some high-level techniques.



A fully featured 16 channel mixer & synth control section gives you complete control of the sound at any time. Actions made here are carried through into gameplay and vice-versa. This means you can tweak the synths to make new unique sounds or just grab a ready-to-go preset and perform for your friends.
