Audiosurf distills the music-game genre down to its purest form: raw, reactive gameplay. The experience hinges on the player's ability to smoothly navigate a track generated by their music library, collecting blocks that correspond to the song's energy. This core gameplay loop, paired with the satisfying visual feedback and the ability to "surf" your own tunes, created an addictive experience that keeps players coming back for one more song.

About Audiosurf

View Game Details
Audiosurf is a puzzle/rhythm hybrid game created by Invisible Handlebar, a personal company created by Dylan Fitterer. It's track-like stages visually mimic the music the player chooses, while the player races across several lanes collecting colored blocks that appear in sync with the music. The music used in the game is chosen from the user's own library, from almost any DRM-free format, as well as standard redbook CDs; in addition, Audiosurf includes the entire soundtrack to The Orange Box as part of the download.
