What Is Aaero2?

In Aaero2, music shapes the world around you.

You soar through futuristic cities, neon arcades, alien landscapes, and vast cosmic structures. Enemies, obstacles, and bosses move to the beat, and your controller becomes an instrument as you trace glowing ribbons through the air, firing missiles in perfect rhythm.

Two New Music Packs Out Now

Each pack includes brand-new tracks and bespoke levels designed around the music.

Aaero to Aaero2: The Evolution of a Rhythm Shooter

25 Nov, 2025

When Aaero first launched, it carved out a unique space between rhythm and rail shooter, a neon ride through music, light, and precision. Now, with Aaero2, we’ve taken everything that worked in the original and built on it from the ground up.

This blog looks at how the series has evolved - from a solo score-chaser into a fully featured rhythm-combat experience built for both solo and co-op play. So if you've been loving the gameplay in Aaero, then why not take a journey even higher into the stratosphere?

From Solo to Social - Introducing Co-Op and Online Play

The original Aaero was all about chasing perfect runs and climbing leaderboards, but with Aaero2, you can now bring a friend along for the ride - either locally or online.

Local Co-Op and PVP: Sit side-by-side and sync your flight paths to the beat.
Online Co-Op and PVP: Connect across the world to tackle tracks together or compete for top scores.
Leaderboards: Still at the heart of the Aaero experience - track your solo scores and co-op performances alike.

These new modes completely change how you play, introducing shared strategies, coordinated lock-ons, and brand-new ways to dominate the rhythm battlefield.

Combat 2.0 - Rebuilt from the Ground Up

In Aaero, combat was about precision aiming and shooting to the beat – with Aaero2, we’ve completely reimagined that system.

Combat 2.0 brings:

Smoother targeting and more responsive aiming
Smarter, more dynamic enemy patterns
New weapon feedback and combo systems
Better balance for both solo and co-op play

The result is a faster, deeper, and more rewarding rhythm-shooter feel - one that’s just as satisfying for newcomers as it is for returning veterans.

Bigger Worlds, More Music, More Ways to Play

We’ve expanded everything around the core gameplay, too:

More tracks and environments - new visual worlds inspired by modern electronic music culture.
Curated soundtracks featuring artists from labels like Monstercat and beyond.
DLC and Music Packs coming soon!
Improved progression systems and new achievements to chase.

Designed for Both Newcomers and Veterans

Returning players: You’ll feel right at home - the ribbon-riding and high-score chase are as sharp as ever, now with added depth and co-op layers.
New players: You can jump straight in. The learning curve is smoother, and multiplayer options make it easy to experience the world of Aaero with friends.
Creators & streamers: Co-Op and PvP open up new ways to make content - duos, tournaments, or competitive score battles.

The Journey Continues

The Aaero franchise has always been about syncing sight, sound, and skill. With Aaero2, that connection is deeper than ever - whether you’re flying solo, teaming up online, or pushing your limits on the leaderboards.

https://testx-steam.c5game.com/steamstore/app/3010090/Aaero2/

See you in the skies and on the leaderboards!

It's been a very long process but we were determined to get it right before we released it.

The sequel to Aaero is nearly finished. We've addressed every single piece of feedback that we could find on the first game. The whole game has been rebuilt from scratch with a completely redesigned combat system and now has 2 player, both co-op and pvp available locally and online.

We're expecting Aaero2 to release on Steam in December 2024.

Contact the devs!

25 Mar, 2020

*TL:DR* You can contact us and get a near immediate response on Twitter by messaging or tagging @MadFellowsGames.

Our Discord community (discord.gg/aaero) is very active and discussions range from tips, tricks and support, battling for cross-platform high scores to discussing with the devs what you want to see in Aaero2, helping decide the track list and much, much more.

I popped in today to check the comments threads and noticed that a couple of people had commented and we'd not replied. Then someone, quite reasonably, assumed that we had given up supporting the game.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

I've always done my absolute best to be present and responsive to the community. The new topics here on Steam had slowed to a stop as the existing threads and announcements cover all of the main issues we'd heard of. With only 2 of us on the team, it's very difficult to keep up with all the messages from all the sources. I'd obviously left it too long between checks on here.

Massive apologies to anyone that didn't get a swift reponse on here.

Take care,

Paul. x

Having trouble SHOOTING BADDIES, stressed about MOUSE + KEYBOARD support or getting SMOOSHED BY TRAPS? Please read here for answers to your questions. :)

5 Feb, 2019

Fortunately, the vast majority of players seem to be having fun with Aaero. As a developer though, it's impossible not to dwell on the negative comments.

I'm seeing a couple of regular gripes with Aaero. I totally, totally sympathise. We wanted to make this game as good as it could be and therefore, here's an explanation to some of our 'less popular' decisions.

First up.

HOW THE F*%$ DO I SHOOT ENEMIES!?!

The truth is, if you get to the point in the first level and you're not expecting enemies to show up... you skipped the shooting tutorial.
I'm not blaming you. It's happened a lot. It's our fault.
We made the tutorial (too) easily skippable. I made the decision that a previous game had a mandatory tutorial and, as a result, suffered the wrath of "I CAN'T EVEN SKIP THE TUTORIAL!!!!" feedback.

If you replay the tutorial, there's a shooting section that explains how to shoot and, as best I could, how to time your shots.

There's a shortened 'quick start' video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHQRJRB8ftQ

THOSE CRUSHING TRAPS ARE SO UNFAIR!!

They're actually pretty easy when you notice they are colour coded. Blue for safe path and red for certain death. I know, I know... it's hard to see that when you're looking at loads of other stuff. My bad again. Hopefully this info will sort you out, though.

A PC GAME YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH MOUSE & KEYBOARD!?!?!?!?!

This has upset a lot of people. Hopefully I can at least explain and answer some of the more common questions.

1) Yes, we are aware it's 2019. (It is 2019, right? *checks calendar*)
2) What we may or may not be smoking wasn't a factor in this decision.

Joking aside, here's the truth of the matter.

Aaero was designed, from the ground up, around using a dual analog controller. We literally sat down with an Xbox controller and thought 'how can we make a music game where using this is better than using a plastic instrument?
We were told, in no uncertain terms, that not supporting mouse and keyboard would be a problem for the PC market. So, our choices were as follows.

1) Come up with a decent control scheme for mouse and keyboard.
2) Not release on PC
3) Release on PC but make it very clear that it needs a controller.

The first is obviously the best. We spent a lot of time looking into it. The main issue is that the game's core mechanics are designed around using two matching circular sticks that re-centre when released.

We had mouse/keyboard support working but it sucked. You can't follow circular ribbons with keys. We looked into auto-targeting, auto-following, even using 2 mouses... mice... mices...? Sure, we could've stuck any of these in so we didn't have to say 'controller only' but our priority is making a good game. Trust me, you wouldn't have enjoyed it. If we'd put it in then I would've absolutely agreed with the backlash we'd have inevitably got.

At this point, we were limited to either 'not release on PC' or 'make it obvious that it's controller only'. We went for the latter.

We added as many warnings as possible. In the descriptions text and then, when I worried that I couldn't read the translations myself, as a graphic image. We also got Steam to add an official notice saying that it needed a controller.

We don't expect everyone to read that. Who reads stuff these days anyway? So we would absolutely expect anyone that missed it to get a refund. We don't want you buying a game you can't play.

A POLITE REQUEST

It's your absolute right to complain if you're not satisfied with a purchase. That is an important right, too. If you've been wronged, I will stand with you to the end fighting for justice....

I'm just asking that you temper your responses a little. I don't want to pull the 'poor little indie dev' card but we're not a big corporation. There's two of us and Dan only reads and writes in machine code so every single comment and review on the whole of the internets is picked up by me personally.

I can 100% guarantee that we want you to have a good experience. We would never get in the way of that or try to withhold a refund to 'take your money'. If you bought it and you're not happy then we're not happy and we want to sort it out.

I've reasoned with a few people on message boards about Aaero. They're usually great people with similar interests to me (gaming and... more gaming) It's usually a misunderstanding, a technical issue or something that can be easily explained. Unfortunately, by then there's already an all caps post about why no one else should play the game ever that's been marked as 'helpful' by others.

If the above info hasn't helped with an issue you have, give me a shout. I answer literally EVERYTHING personally. If we can't resolve it or I'm a dick to you in any way then by all means get that CAPS LOCK on and go crazy!

Massive love and respect to you all. Thanks for giving Aaero a shot and we will continue to try to go from 'most people' to 'all people' being happy with the game.

Paul. :)
