    I was just about to start a thread about this :D

    It's great little game, I've been playing it for the last couple of hours. The last few songs I've tried were very fast and heavy and it almost makes you dizzy trying to decide where to put the hundreds of blocks whizzing towards you. Hectic isn't the word for it :D

    They really need to make demos available of more games on Steam.

    Yup, I've bought a lot of games on the strength of their demos (or pirate versions :D)

    Played the demo of the aforementioned today, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was playing with some proggy house, must try again with some dirty techno...

    When you get to a really hectic bit, you just have to zen out and let your subconscious control the mouse.

    Ive just been playing it there, its good fun. The best bit about it is how the tracks are formed by the music, its excellent. Its a bit of a pity that the rest of the game isn't as polished. I don't really find the game play all that addictive.

    Best songs I used were

    -Lauren Garnier : Man with the red face
    -Digitalism : Pogo
    -Vitalic - Bells

    Do yea use the mouse or the arrows to control the ship ?

    I think the game is a great idea, it would be a lot better if you could go straight to the next song without waiting for it to check highscores etc. online

    I think I'm addicted to this now. I've been playing it for about 3 hours :eek:

    Plus I've found the most perfect song for the game :D

    Use the mouse myself, but apparently the 360 controller is supported so I'm gonna try with that now.
    Vitalic sounds like a good idea, I'll have to give some of his tunes a go...

    Vitalic - La Rock would be amazing. Its much easier to use the arrow keys than the mouse.

    Wish I had a PC so I could play this and try some Thomas Bangalter!

    Every time I hear it I think about the scene in Jackass 2 that featured it and it makes me laugh :D

    The best stuff to use is prog rock/metal. The more time changes the better :D

    I think I'm going to try it with some Brian Eno tracks to see what happens. I have a theory that it may halt or possibly even reverse the flow of time itself.

    There is. I played it and am mostly underwhelmed by the game. Apart from losing points there doesn't appear to be any particular reason to not just collect everything as it comes at you.

    You don't die and the game doesn't end so unless you're just looking to put your name on the leaderboard it's a pretty pointless game albeit pretty and music filled.

    Well I would have thought that was a fairly good reason to be honest! I know what you mean though, the gameplay isnt as addictive as it could be. The track design and look is great but the actually gameplay leaves a bit to be desired.

    [edit] Queens of the stone age - Go with the flow. By FAR the hardest track Ive tried.
