OLDEST VIDEO:

Re-experience your music in a world that is generated by the track of your choosing, and the speed of your ship is determined by the intensity of the song at a given time. With multiple game modes such as collection, matching, shooting, platforming, and racing, there will always be something to do.

Game modes:

  • Starpocalpyse: fly through the level, ramming or shooting at gold stars to build a massive combo, while avoiding the red stars which break your combo.

  • Rainbow Dash: pick a color, and match up two in a row to score. Collecting a different color will break your pair and force you to start another.

  • Audio Kart: race against AI in a Mario-Kart inspired racing mode. Collect stars and power ups to speed up and get an advantage over your opponents.

  • Platformer (Name pending): a 3D platformer in which you must run, jump, duck, and strafe along a winding path to avoid obstacles and collect stars. It is a very fast paced mode which will prove to be a challenge and take time to master, but will be worth it once you can show off how awesome you are to your friends or foes!

Starpocalypse and Rainbow Dash both feature the ability to shoot a projectile from your ship in order to collect from a distance.

Features:

  • Native Oculus Rift Support (to be implemented at a later date)

  • Use your own music, all types of audio files are supported.

I have completely changed the graphical direction of the game, to a direction I feel is more user friendly and makes the game more involved. Check it out!

New video, and also the launch of the website! http://audio-venture.com

New game mode video with graphical changes! Rainbow Dash, match 2 of a color to score.

I like the later styles cause the blocks were meaningless but looked like they were part of the gameplay.

Congrats on making your kickstarter.

How did you do the audio analysis?

7

I use FMOD to play the songs and just use the spectrum of the song to do everything I need it to do.

Also, new video already. I needed a good, short video for a trailer.

New game mode coming as well. Platformer lovers will love the new game mode. :wink:

Great looking stuff. To be honest, I prefer the look of the original.

Good luck tho. Perhaps, you can have both?

9

I agree the original looked good, but the blocks need to have a gameplay meaning

10

Yes, sometime, simpler is better.
Perhaps the blocks can be obstacles you must dodge or destroy. That being said, the new versions are pretty sexy.

New game mode!

The new mode is a 3D platformer in which you must run, jump, duck, and strafe along a winding path to avoid obstacles and collect stars. It is a very fast paced mode which will prove to be a challenge and take time to master, but will be worth it once you can show off how awesome you are to your friends or foes! This mode will be coming in v0.3, so be sure to keep an eye out for that update.

Desura release is October 30th, and is 20% off until then, so if you want to support the game, there’s your chance.

Also, the game is now on IndieGameStand, and I will be aiming for sometime in January for the “Pay what you want” deal.

Screenshots and videos of the new game mode to come at a later date. Follow the game on IndieDB for more frequent updates and more images.
