Doesn't look to have a lot of gameplay but it's quite pretty

Yup, its kinda Klax meets a racer and conceptually, it sounds bloody awful - the game is fupping ace fun.
I wrote this over t'other place, so rather than gush again I'll cut and paste:
"Audiosurf now has a public demo, so I'm going to do a bit of flag waving for it here. Needless to say, this got my vote for the IGF as it's both genius and fun. (And as much as I want to play Goo! - my 360 controller is wireless and the game shits out on Vista anyway).
From the awfully shit proposition of Klax meets a racing game - the team behind this have pulled a stormer of a game out the bag. The neat twist here is that all the tracks are generated according to the audio you pump into it. Throw some Ministry in there, and you'll be screaming like a girl as the game rockets you through a speedy rollercoaster ride, whack in London Calling and the bass thuds give the track the feeling of the worlds biggest speed bump course, drop in some Redpoint and you've got a nice casual amble through the game.
It's got online score comparisons -per song-, so could well be Moobaa's worst nightmare. The bad points - the demo shits out after two of your own tracks and you can't actually buy the game yet. You can reinstall the game though and start all over again if you wish - but make your song choices count for maximum funnage."
There's a public demo on the IGF voting page
I'm just grabbing the latest beta now (the downloads going real slow) but it looks like there's been a lot of improvements between the public demo and the one coming down now.

Re: Audiosurf
I hope it's going to be available through non-Steam means. I don't want Steam, partly because of being unable to find a simple answer on their website to the question "What the fuck is Steam?" and partly because I've seen too many people complaining about it. But I do like Audiosurf.
Why are you breaking my kayak?

Re: Audiosurf
It uses Steamworks to provide achievements so I'm guessing it's Steam or nothing.
In answer to your question Steam is a content delivery system. An app that you download and use to buy and run games.

Re: Audiosurf
This is available now on Steam. For the $9 asking price it seemed rude not to. Now to throw some tunes at it...
Re: Audiosurf
It's come on a fuck of a lot since the beta (which I managed to break with this)
The new screen effects are nice and it seems a whole load smoother than before. Tonight I've been mostly throwing Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack and Bowie at it with a small detour to see what happens when you feed it Lard and it's coped with everything. Although Lard was a bit difficult to play.
Note to self: Never try Drug Raid At 4am again.
