Thumper is headed to Xbox One on August 18. The self-described "rhythm violence" game from Drool first debuted on PC and PlayStation 4 on October 10, 2016.

Once it launches on Xbox One, Thumper will officially be available on all major current gen platforms, including Windows, PS4/PSVR, and Nintendo Switch.

Thumper is an on-rails rhythm game where you control a space beetle plummeting into an abyss. You earn points by "thumping" on glowing notes on the track, but must also avoid dangers like sharp turns and spike pits by nailing precise button-presses. There are nine levels, each with a mini boss and a final boss.

Check out our Thumper guide for tips and tricks on its basic controls and how to score extra points.

Our review of Thumper gave it a 9/10, praising its "trippy sights, sounds, and intense rhythm action."
