One of this years IGF finalists. Dynamic levels based on your music. Not a whole lot I can say about it, you really need to try it yourself.

Looks pretty awesome, will post up once I have tried it.

EDIT: Didn't realise it was a beta, added myself to the list however

 

[BiG D]

The beta is on this weekend, you should get an email with a download link.

Reminds me of Vib Ribbon for PS1 and Rez and Frequency for PS2.

Well this was released on steam recently. It's only $9.95 (About £5 w/o tax). I'm going to buy it when I get paid on Thursday. I was wondering, though, have any of you bought it or heard anything about it?

BiG_D? You got it?

 

[BiG D]

Yep, I had it preordered. Comes with the Orange Box soundtrack.

 

[Nanor]

Have you got a whirl at it yet?

 

[KillCrazy]

There's a demo available on steam as well. I had a go at it and thought it was awesome

This is the most fun I've ever had with my music.

DON'T TRY TO PLAY DUB SONGS ON PRO.
They are so off beaty and bumpy that it is just surreal. Excellent game and is basically no money. I'd very much suggest getting it. Also the devs apparently actually listen to the players so there may be more cool features to come.

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

I'll give this a go, loving these msuic-y games at the moment

 

[Iron_fist]

i was going to give this a go last night but ended up playing TTD for about 8 hours, plus tets has got me wanting to play Rez HD again so maybe this afternoon i'll get round to giving it a try

 

[Nanor]

Sooner I get paid is the sooner I can buy it.

Oh, gods, I am so horribly addicted to this game. Some songs are remarkably more difficult than you'd expect, too, especially on Ninja Mono. Well worth the fiver.

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

Hmmmm, I tried it last night after work and I thought it a little ... boring. I only tried about 4 songs, granted, but they all seemed to play out pretty similarly to me and it just ended up a big mish mash with random warning messages coming up on the screen (containing no text, bloody glitch). Maybe it's because I played Rez, and for me that far eclipses this as a game-music experience.

 

[Nanor]

I'm enjoying it. I'm finding it hard to score mega high points, though.

How are you finding driving and listening to music, BiG_D?

 

[DocBot]

Post up your names so we can add each other as friends!

Mine is [THN]Docbot (or, possibly, THNDocBot).

I'm hoping Nanor's is "Nanor".

 

[Tetsuo_Shima]

I'm Tetsuo. I hope there aren't too many Tetsuos :/ I played it again today and came around a bit, I think I played all the wrong songs yesterday.

 

[BiG D]

Quite possible. Some songs really work better than others. I'll post a list of favourites when I've had a chance to play more.

 

[Nanor]

Mine is indeed Nanor.

I'm finding it hard to see which songs work well. I'm trawling through my music list but to no avail.

 

[DeZmond]

Mine is [THN]DeZmond - my scores will be very very easy to beat!
