Audiosurf


Audiosurf is an indie game developed by Dylan Fitterer, not entierly sure who this guy is but kudos to him for making something so rad.


Basically how the game works is it takes whatever song you want to play that you have on your computer (Via Zune, iTunes, whatever media holder you have) and generates a track for you to "surf" more or less and you can play it on beginner, intermediate or pro, and depending on which mode depends on how many grey blocks (ones you should avoid) and how many color blocks (good blocks) there are.


And there are different characters for each mode, one consitant character is mono. Mono allows for only one color to appear (the color fluxtuates depending on how fast the song is going) and allows for a relaxing smooth ride to your music, just get block, avoid greys and win. other game characters include pointman, which allows you to pick up a block and move it anywhere on your grid to rack up mucho points, think block breakeresqu games. There's alot to see here for such a simple game, amazing visuals and eye candy while you listen to music, check it out on steam sometime for only $9.99, or try the demo to see if it's your cup of tea.

  2. Audiosurf is great, can strain your eyes if you play a little too much/in a dark room though.
