History YMMV / BeatHazard

* ThatOneBoss: The Hydra-like boss from the ''Ultra'' DLC is this sometimes. It has the ability to curl up into a ball and repel ''ALL'' attacks, and can stay like this for any amount of time. This boss can also un-curl, fire, and re-curl in less than a second. Combine this with the fact that they have a large amount of HP and, once they do this for while, there's a bunch of other enemies and/or bosses on-screen, and it becomes very frustrating. On the other hand, it only curls up when you're too close to it. Stay away, and you're (relatively) fine.

* [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks Starg Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: A lot of things got changed in ''Beat Hazard Ultra'', and people have already complained over:

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: ''Beat Hazard'' is ''VideoGame/{{Asteroids}}'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}'' on a cocktail of speed and acid, and depending on your seizure resistance, bath salts.

** [[SurpriseDifficulty The difficulty of Easy difficulty.]]

** The Steam version of ''Classic'' and ''Ultra''. Sure Windows users do have to pay for relatively cheap add-ons for file support that the Macintosh users don't have to pay for, but beyond that they have access to internet radio for music, (optional) social feeds through RSS and Website/{{Twitter}}, other possible configuration tweaks, and as of 2013, more ships to play around with albeit cosmetic. In the case of ''Beat Hazard Classic'' on PC and Mac on Steam, [[OldSaveBonus it also has access to]] ''Beat Hazard Ultra''[='=]s [[NintendoHard Suicidal]] difficulty if it's unlocked in the expansion pack.
** The retail PC release by THQ has most of the same content as the Xbox LIVE Indie Games version with some added songs and the addition of the Suicidal difficulty, which might be good for those who prefer the original.

* ThatOneBoss: The Hydra-like boss from the Ultra DLC is this sometimes. It has the ability to curl up into a ball and repel ALL attacks, and can stay like this for any amount of time...but still un-curl, fire, and re-curl in less than a second.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A lot of things got changed in the Ultra Patch, and people have already complained over:
** The Perks system (and particularly being unable to get all the bonuses they previously had pre-patch due to needing more than the 3 slots allowed without Ultra).
** The lack of inertia.

** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the visual intensity of the background being completely separate from the difficulty selected]].
