I guess that by now
you've heard enough about how cool Audiosurf is. You may also know by now that I'm a HUGE fan and that I'm pretty much
addicted to it.
Anyway, while spending time on my
contest last weekend (check it just to see some nice song recommendations from everyone) I noticed that sometimes the road would become transparent/moremirror like.
At first I thought it was one of the normal graphic effects, but after a while I figured out that it happens (for some seconds) almost every time you alt+tab while in a song (be that playing it or on the menu). I really thought that you could make it look like that, but after playing with the options and background colors for a while yesterday it looks like, sadly, alt tabbing is the only way to get that effect. It might be only me, but I really like the difference, the next comparison pics are while playing "Negative" with background color "White".

Yeah, it does make it a bit more confusing, but being able to see farther in the distance and the larger mix in colors make up a better (and more challenging) gaming experience in my opinion. Hopefully a future update will allow me to play with those effects without having to constantly alttab.
Speaking of Audiosurf, I'm on the verge of doing another contest. If I could get some input on what you'll rather have, that would be helpful:
A) 1 small prize a WEEK based on highscore from 1 song.
B) 1 big prize a MONTH based on highscore from 1 song.
C) 3-4 small prizes a MONTH based on highscore from 1 song.
D) 1 big prize a MONTH based on highscore from weekly songs.
E) [Insert suggestion here]
And I don't like how the glitch play looks. I like the shiny mirror look for the non-glitch over the total reflection of the glitch mode.
Would the contest be limited to specific modes or difficulty levels, or is it just the biggest number, period?
There's a whole free catalog of OCremix and chiptune music on available, I think it would be good to pick songs from those places since they fit the game well and are usually more challenging than RB/GH type music.

I'm not sure, I guess I was just assuming everyone played with the hard difficulty characters =P. Hmm, if its 1 song per week it could be a different character/mode each week.
And is it just me, or does nobody actually know about Ironmode?
