This is a big plus in my opinion, seems generative music will nicely complement the abstract graphics / lotus geometry and gameplay (from what I saw on the trailer):
going to be day 1 purchase for me (Steam AND Switch) :rockon:

I always liked the option on Xbox 360 of playing your own music - had many a happy hour playing Mutant Storm Reloaded on there to Oxygene.
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

I assume your times are for the Switch?

For Steam it's 1pm UK time, so a quick lunchtime blast is in order. Not sure if other territories have different times, but it will be on the page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2005680/Akka_Arrh/

I have no idea when Xbox and Playstation release stuff.

MAN ... 60fps is getting "OLD" .. now we tested up to 165 FPS ( and not beyond because we did not have a capable monitor ) ...

Also 1920 ? .. 4K ? ... PFFT .. we tested up to 5K display ( and not beyond because we did not have a capable monitor ) ...

The versions are ALL IDENTICAL, as much as possible, so don't expect differences at all.

As far as I know they go 60fps MINIMUM on all platforms, the "more flexible" in those terms of course is the PC version.

But yes the goal is "no differences at all", the FPS/resolution is always "all the max we can get".

Besides I don't know "if I should reveal this" as apparently it's "an ACCIDENTAL FIND" .. I found out that "in theory" the VCS is 120fps capable .. BUT ... BUT .. "not in the normal running conditions" let's say so.

To my big surprise I found out that "when something is launched the way it's normally launched" something fucks up a bit something "in some weird way" so 120 it's no longer working, however I don't think it's been designed for it so it's all OK.

Did any testers try it on the Steam Deck? Obviously will try it tomorrow and find out.

Will also give it a go on the Mac, unless it's Direct X12 based - Crossover/Parallels can't cope with that yet.

Reviews are up. I'd link mine but that could be seen as crass, and I'm nothing but classy all around.

Thank you.

Interesting as Giles says his preferred method of playing is with a gamepad.

I tried for several play sessions to get acclimated to the gamepad but eventually gave up. I just found cursor control much snappier and more precise with the mouse. It's like the opposite of Minotaur Arcade Gridrunner, where the mouse seems like it should be better but the gamepad really is the best way to play.

Clearly a game originally made to be played with a trackball.

It was indeed and I believe you can on the PC version.

It it works on the Steam Deck it will be interesting to see how it works with the trackpads.

Positive, but another who is not impressed with the one-button default.
