similar to audio surf, your music makes the game. the more upbeat your music is, the more powerful you are! it's a lot of fun for a casual indie game

audiosurf meets every day shooter?

[three_gunn]

indeed! also kind of like asteroids on...well, roids.

i have everyday shooter and it's not as visually appealing.

[Buzzy Beetle]

Bought!

[three_gunn]

nice buzzy! you'll eventually take a break but will be walking around looking like this


@gizanked just a heads up, i know you love your beers, but playing this while enjoying a few could be dizzying. s'what happened to me saturday night.

Lol, actually I bought it before I left for work, but you had me on the bit where you use your own music files to play. Loved audiosurf, so I shall love this one too I'd expect!

Wow, looks like one hell of a light show. I think drugs may be involved while playing this game.

[three_gunn]

@bigbiker if you dug that light show the insane mode is instantaneously incredible with incandescence (indeed!).

Wow, this game is awesome! I've been trying to find the best music to use. I really liked playing In The Hall of the Mountain King... Orchestral music is tough lol. I think I'm gonna try Bolero.

[NoahTheBoa]

Best. Game. Ever.

[Masakari]

Agreed.

And I have to say, once you've tried Insane once you can't go back. Something so satisfying about getting 6.4 million points on a three minute song.

[NoahTheBoa]

I'm still trying to beat 2112 on Normal. I've gotten to 96%...

[Dirty Dan]

Wow you guys are good at this game, I can barely do normal stuff, but then again I haven't gotten a chance to play much yet.

[NoahTheBoa]

Oh, and I beat 'First Suite in E flat' by Holst on easy finally...

Love that, but love the 2nd suite in F even more, especially Fantasia on the Dargason, played that one in high school, the tuba part at the end is fun.
