Who plays Audiosurf?

I got the demo for this on Steam a few days ago, and not long after got the full version (Though it took a little while for it to realize it was a full version not demo annoyingly). It's yet another music sync game, but it's pretty awesome as they go. It reminds me of another game I like called Torus Trooper.


Basically you use your mouse or keyboard (Or both in two player, one controller per person), to move your rocket ship left and right and score points. There are a couple different modes of play, etc, etc. But the cool thing is this, most of these music games limit you to a small library of music, but Audiosurf works with your own DRM free music (I like to play to Daft Punk), it creates the tracks for them dynamically!

It's really cool, you don't have to buy tracks, there are multiple play styles and colors (It's even a little trippy). Hell it's just fun to watch, I could totally see someone playing this on a big screen at some night club with everyone watching as they danced and listened to the DJ (So long as they played the same song as what the club was playing).

Joshua was orgasmic about it a month or two ago, and got me to try it. I liked it, but not well enough to buy it.

I tend to play a song or two then turn it off. Just a quick fix of fun, like Bejeweled.

I am hoping they do an XBOX 360 version of it.

I have it through steam as well, but I'm like Zat in that I just play it for a few songs and then quit.

I hope so instead of crap like the Rocky and Bullwinkle Xbox Live Arcade game.

I have it and enjoy it quite a bit. It's a casual game without a doubt.

Torus Trooper is pretty fun too.

Steam annoys the fuck out of me - I hate the stupid client program you have to run, and the download speeds are bad for me too.

I like it, it's pretty awesome. I was in some of the beta testing.

I haven't installed XP via Bootcamp yet so I haven't been playing it lately. ^_^

It's a natural fit for the XBOX 360 - I am not surprised it is being ported.

I got this in my email the other day:

Audiosurf scoreboard alert - Dethroned!

You used to have the worldwide best score for: everybody by britney spears

Now the Audiosurf player 'RockPrincess' has beaten you. Get back in the game and reclaim the top spot!

Apparently there was a "miscommunication" and Audiosurf isn't coming to XBLA.

Oh well, their loss. Rather stupid on the developer's part.

I love this game! It's a casual game alright, but that's not a bad thing. With the right track, it can be an intense experience.

Fav tracks so far: The Cure, Friday I'm in Love. Snow Patrol, You are all that I have. Entire Elvis Costello Album - Blood and chocolate - although not so many people have played that one

I'm going to resist the temptation to run in here shouting every time a find a track that works well, but I had to shout about this one Placebo, Pure Morning. What a rush!
