I sort of enjoy audiosurf. I love Guitar Hero and the whole concept of music-based games but a lot of the time I definitely had the feeling that I was just listening to music while playing a not-particularly-interesting match 3 game.

In fact, I was really excited about the game when I first heard about it but I didn’t actually discover that it was a match 3 game until I played it for the first time (I preordered). It was one of the biggest letdowns of the year for me. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t that.

Still, I like audiosurf. Playing double vision with a friend is definitely one of the best gaming experiences of the year.

I stand by my belief that Gone by The Tea Party is the best song to play on Audiosurf.

Seriously, why is the folky/orchestral part at the end so damn HARD?

I was never much of a mono fan. Loading up now to play Death to Los Campesinos!, though :)

Mono was a bit of an improvement, but there’s still a “Is that grey, or does it just look grey?” decision to be made before every move, which doesn’t work wonders for your scores.

Did you try playing any of the mono modes? You only need to differentiate between greys and the coloured blocks, which also regularly pulsate, there.

“wormed into the minds of anyone with an ounce of genuine passion for music.”

…And colour vision. Seriously, how hard is it to add an option to overlay bricks with shapes? Makes Peggle playable. This has got to be hands down the easiest way to increase your audience, and next to no one can be bothered to add the neccesary five lines of extra code.

For shame, Audiosurf. For shame.

Audiosurf is my game of the year. I could never have guessed $10 could be so valuable.

Audiosurf is pretty darned close to the top of my favourite games of the year list, too. Iggy Pop + Ninja Mono = AWESOME.

I pre-ordered Audiosurf, got it on release, and still play it almost daily. These days I play it more than TF2.

For a bit of fun, put this file into your Steam/SteamApps/common/audiosurf/engine/render folder. Then pick a song and run it in Freeride mode!

My friend had to stop playing this when any drug just made him hallucinate audiosurf
