Audiosurf: Ride Your Music tsunamikitsune | 3:55 AM on 01.13.2008 20 comments

I just found this amazing game, called Audiosurf. It's for the PC and it's only a beta right now, but it's still cool as hell. It looks like this was posted a while back, but it doesn't seem as though there was a playable version around at that time. Basically, it's a music game in which you use your own MP3s (or M4A, WMA, or any other crazy music formats you may have) to generate a crazy road (it reminds me of Frequency/Amplitude) that has all kinds of bumps and turns that match up to your music. You control a tiny ship (again, very Frequency/Amplitude like) and collect different colored blocks. When you hit a block, it moves down to the grid below you, much like your average block-based puzzle game would. Connecting three like-colored blocks will get you points. The different colored blocks also come in time with the music, with cooler colors being more mellow parts of the song and hotter colors being more intense parts of the song. There are many different ships you can play as and they each change the way you handle the song. There's one that only requires you to deal with colored blocks and gray blocks (one to hit and one to avoid), so you can be more relaxed when you play. There's another one that does all of the colors with the ability to save one for later and one more that lets you push blocks to either side, rather than dealing with them wherever they happen to fall. There are other ships, but I don't really feel like going into detail about all of them. You'll just have to check them out yourself. I've only tried a few songs in it so far, but they worked great. For the tutorial I used "Musique" by Daft Punk, which turned out to be the perfect tutorial song. After playing multiple songs, I haven't really found anything that wasn't awesome to play. The online leaderboards are really neat, too. They even keep track of the top 30 most played songs, which you can check out at the bottom of this page. It's something you'll really have to try for yourself, since it's best with your own music, but below is a video I found of somebody playing "Change the World" by The Offspring (when I first saw the name, I thought it was that crappy Inuyasha opening theme.....thank god it isn't). They're playing with a ship that only deals with colored blocks and gray blocks, so it's not quite as hectic as it could be. It's also kinda slow at first, so you may want to skip ahead a bit to see some of the cooler parts. Audiosurf is crazy awesome and you should download it. Like, right now. It's only a beta at the moment, but I can hardly tell. The full version is due out next month, so be sure to check it out then, also. Attached photos:
