I first heard about this little game a few weeks back on the Gamers with Jobs podcast, but I just saw it displayed on the front page of Steam and gave the demo a try.

Wow what a fun little game! Basically it takes a song of your choosing, analyzes the beats and creates a rythm/racing/puzzle game out of it. You race long a track that moves to the rhythm of your song and along that track are colored blocks that you must either collect in a specific order or avoid (the blocks also show up according to the song beat). It's a bit hard to explain...

Anyway those with Steam can try the demo out and see for yourself.

The song made famous by Guitar Hero 3 :

10 bucks well spent for the full version, if you ask me...

I'll be all over that when I get some free time. Nice find, CnC.

Looks neat. I'll probably try the demo, but I doubt I'll pay $10 for it.

Just FYI, Hirasawa music is really fun to play

The tracks can be laid out like a roller coaster where the faster bits are represented by going really fast downhill. So songs like "Sign" are fuckin' awesome.

So, did you try Tell Me Why yet?

How about some SH tracks, like "Ain't Gonna Rain" from SH1 or something similarly discordant?

"Fwa na shame a wayne. Fwa ur rain na am. Evwy muda.."

...Yea no I haven't tried it. But I imagine it would work just fine.

The faster songs are pretty intense but the slow songs are very fun for me. They allow me to think a little bit and plan out a strategy for getting the most points.
