All you music junkies out there should check out Audiosurf, a new “puzzle racer” for the PC developed by Dylan Fitterer. The game combines music and gameplay in a whole new way, Fitterer says.
After booting up the game and choosing a character, you get to select a song of your choice from your PC’s music library. The song you pick determines the speed, shape and traffic congestion of the racetrack. The goal is to run into objects of the same color along the way to make combos and earn points, which are tracked on a global leader board.
Competition for the top rank is fierce, but if you get kicked from the No. 1 spot, the game even emails you to fill you in.
If you can’t find the perfect song for your ride, Fitterer suggests Daft Punk for an exciting race, or Tool for a longer experience.
Audiosurf is available for purchase online at www.audio-surf.com for $9.95.
