What you see here is the short version of my article about Audiosurf. Down below the article, there's a free download for you of a little piece of music that I specifically produced for this game, so just download it and play some Audiosurf again! https://www.videospielgeschichten.de/audiosurf-als-inspirationsquelle-meine-vision-eines-perfekten-musikspiels/ Music games have undergone a remarkable evolution over the past decades, establishing themselves as a fascinating genre. In 1978, the Milton Bradley Company (MB) launched an electronic toy called Simon, which was based solely on color patterns and sounds. This simple concept laid an essential foundation for the rhythmic mechanics that would later appear in video games. In 2008, a game with a simple yet creative concept was released and quickly gained popularity. It hit just the right "green wave" that could turn an indie game into a timeless classic. Among those who picked up Audiosurf right at launch was a good friend of mine, who played in a punk band and asked me to record their next EP. And every free moment or break, surrounded by beer bottles and musical instruments, was spent playing this game. I could clearly see why it excited so many players. The game was compatible with almost every music genre, which made it accessible to a broad audience. It combined engaging puzzle mechanics with fast-paced racing elements, and global leaderboards encouraged friendly competition among players. However, what fascinated me the most was the music-based track generation and the visual synchronization. Music and sound are almost indispensable for video games. They create atmosphere, tell stories, and draw us into the virtual world. Music games have hardly any boundaries or rules, almost anything is possible as long as the focus remains on audio. They offer incredible diversity, combining creative freedom and musical experience in various ways. Whether through colorful platform adventures with electronic beats, rhythm-based first-person shooters with heavy metal sounds, or classic rhythm games in an EDM or K-pop style, each game opens up its own world, brought to life by the power of music.

Nothing wrong with the game. Wide range of game modes at any difficulty, extremely stimulating. Active developer after 16 years, insanely high bang for your buck. I have been playing this game for a very long time now, on crappy laptops and I finally had the chance to build a nice PC that can run the premium graphics. This game is what you make of it. I could honestly say that as my comfort game. Sincerely 10/10, if I could shake your hand personally Dylan I would. Amazing work, this is in my top 3 games of all time. If I had to nitpick, I wish there were more loops because those are crazy cool. But I'd be worried it would take away from the rest of the algorithm, because it is so well developed. Actual treasure of a game. Happy surfing!
