Audiosurf News

[h3]The AUDIOMECH Demo is now available for Next Fest![/h3][p]I’m very excited for all of you Surfers to check out my next game. Go and fight the Audio Dragons with ANY music, even streaming. Play and wishlist here:[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [/p][h3]To celebrate, there’s a new mech-inspired character in Audiosurf![/h3][p][/p][p]There’s only 3 colors, but…[/p][p]…the minimum match size is SEVEN.[/p][p]You’ve got tools though - the ship morphs into 3 different forms:[/p]

1. [p]Normal: blocks collect where hit[/p]
2. [p]Pusher: shift blocks to the left or right[/p]
3. [p]Restacker: sort tiles to the top of the grid[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]It also features a custom environment with dragons, skulls, and music-vines from the upcoming Audiomech game.[/p][p][/p][p]This character replaces Pusher Pro for a limited time. After that, it will be playable by adding an \[as-mech] tag to your song file (similar to \[as-portal] for the hidden Portal character).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Looking for mp3s to play with?[/h3][p]The Audiomech Demo comes with 9 hard-hitting songs by VECTOR SEVEN. Browse to “Audiomech_Data/StreamingAssets/IncludedSongs” to see if you can beat my scores on those 🙂[/p][p][/p][p]Have fun! [/p][p]-Dylan[/p]

Widescreen scaling is now handled much better. This is especially noticeable on ultrawide monitors, but it's an improvement for 16:9 displays too (Audiosurf was originally designed for 4:3). Most of the menu screens do still fully stretch.


Corkscrew twists were completely random, but now they highlight a big moment in the song. There's still the same 25% chance of a ride having a corkscrew (except for songs that really want one and therefore always have one).

You can now play in narrowscreen too if that’s your thing.



Have fun!
