Pretty self-explanatory. The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission. I love this fucking game.

Yerp -- you can fully customize each level of the game with your own music. Cool feature, but the OST is so boss that I'd only change it up as an occasional novelty. Seriously, the music in this game is impossibly good. If you like 16bit chiptunes with an electro-ey dance vibe, you will crap yourself with joy when you first play this game.
....Wow. This is the first time I've seen my friend mentioned on this forum. Guess he is getting bigger.

That dude was a boss during the Intel Next Top Streamer challenge where the contestants had to stream a different game every hour. We're big fans of Cohh Carnage and Ezekiel_III but Neal doing 120 hours straight was just insane. I guess he's done several 90 hour streams so this wasn't too much of a stretch for him.
Yeah, I hung out with him in Skype on his stream for part of it, it was pretty crazy.
The standard levels are a steady beat. There are floor traps that can cause the beat to speed up or slow down. There are also boss battles and special stages that feature a syncopated beat.
90% of the game you'll be tapping to a steady beat -- but trust me when I say this: you want a steady beat -- you really don't want an erratic, syncopated beat when you're fighting hordes of enemies. It's nerve-wracking.
Also, the custom music option is AWESOME. Just for fun, I used Girl Talk's "Feed The Animals" as the custom soundtrack for the first 8 levels. It was hilariously awesome. NecroDancer has a special function built in that pulls the beat from your songs so everything is on point. Dropping into the first level while "Play Your Part pt. 1" hits was great...
