Beginning with RayForce, followed by RayStorm and RayCrisis, the Ray series' lock-on laser mechanics, Tamayo's (of sound team Zuntata) beautiful, but also intensely fantastical soundscape, and a story and worldview imparted almost exclusively through gameplay, all contributed to high placings in legendary arcade games magazine Gamest's annual Best Video Game Music awards.

Now the Ray series is back, and locking onto the Steam Awards with original and arranged soundtracks available for all 3 titles! The retro wizards at developer M2 even added an authentic Japanese arcade background track recorded at retro mecca Hey! in Tokyo, for that authentic arcade feel!



So what are you waiting for? Lock-on to that vote button now!

PS: If you can't get enough RayForce musical goodness, DariusBurst CS has you covered with the RayForce DLC, featuring arranged tracks by Michiru Yamane!

Thanks to everyone who tested the beta branch release (see here), the updates are now live in the main branch.

Note: there are no updates to the game/s itself and, while it fixes the majority of issues reported, we are still looking into some outlying reports.

We hope you enjoy locking-on to portable shooting fun!
