And the beat goes on…

UPDATE: Beat Hazard Ultra creator Steve Hunt has told Eurogamer that the iPhone and iPad version should be out within the next three or four months. The iPad HD version will probably cost £2.99. "I'll run a discount for a few days when it first comes out to reward early purchasers," he said.

Beat Hazard Ultra launches on PlayStation Network this month. If first attracted attention on the Xbox Live Indie Games platform, and on PC.
