Screenshots
This is the "Highway" theme. Pass through a randomized city layout as the city lights flash to the beat.
In the "Fire-Dancer" theme, spin flaming nunchuks around in the middle of a dark desert. Inspired by a desert rave I went to a while back.
In the "Blue" theme, toggle between 8 color palettes on the fly. Engage with particles that are being shaped by the audio around you.
