Crypt of the NecroDancer is really awesome, and it's going to exit early access this month. If you love your music it's a fantastic game.

I've pumped a bit into this game, and I love it. I'm really crap at keeping up with a beat though, but I still find it fun. It's not easy either, so it will keep you coming back to beat it.

See their brand new spanky trailer:

About the game (Official)
Crypt of the NecroDancer is a hardcore roguelike rhythm game. Can you survive this deadly dungeon of dance, slay the NecroDancer, and recapture your still beating heart? Or will you be a slave to the rhythm for all eternity?

- Move on the beat to navigate ever changing dungeons while battling dancing skeletons, zombies, dragons, and more!
- Groove to the game's epic Danny Baranowsky soundtrack, or select songs from your own MP3 collection!
- Play with keyboard, controller, or even a USB dance pad!

Check out Crypt of the NecroDancer on Steam, it's worth it. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Steam OS and Ubuntu 12.04 are the only supported Linux OSes...

:/
This is perfectly normal and expected. If you look in the forums support and bugs are being excepted from users of other distributions. They just can't officially support them as they are too numerous and varying.

The included/game music is pretty great though.

Are there any games that do that? Would seem legally problematic and to require a special deal and development support from Spotify.

But if a game supports alsa or jack input, the user can route apps like spotify to it. :P

The trailer makes that game seem awfully hardcore. There’s no chance I’m buying this without checking the difficulty with a demo first. Musical games are often way too difficult.

This one is so addictive that you end up mastering the relatively high difficulty level anyways ;)
