We made our designer watch videos of things that anger him, like people cutting in line at the coffee shop because they know the staff, and dog owners not cleaning up behind their animal, and then let him loose in the wild. Of course, my good sir, you’ll be happy to know that the PS4 release also introduces HARDCORE MODE. I MEANT HOW HARD CAN IT GET, DO I LOOK LIKE A DANG CASUAL TO YOU M8? And if that wasn’t enough, we also have a Party mode that has no difficulty at all, if you just want to enjoy the music in the background.

Right from the get-go you have the track and artist in huge letters, and that’s setting the tone: this is an homage to the music, as opposed to using the music as background.ĭon’t worry my dude, if you find the game to be a bit too much of a challenge for you, or your terrible-at-video-games friends, you can always enable the Casual mode while playing the story, that will give you… I mean your friends… a bit more of a fighting chance against the musical barrage. Being a coder and being unable to draw to save his life, he made that beat game with only shapes that would do its darnedest to put the music on the forefront. The next summer he went to a game jam on his own lonely self and decided to make that weird fever daydream he had in game form. It all started with Danimal Cannon & Zef’s Chronos, Lachhh, the game designer, bought his CD out of impulse during a concert, then started seeing shapes. Yeah man, the entire thing was woven around making a game that looks like it sounds, remember those MP3 vizualizers from the 90s? Well like that, but playable. CAN YOU JUST ELABORATE ON THE GAME INSTEAD OF BEING ALL INTROSPECTIVE AND STUFF I don’t know dude, my brain works weird, sometimes it just does its own thing, I’m still figuring this out. OK, NOW THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING, WHY DIDN’T YOU OPEN WITH THAT

We got the top indie chiptune/EDM musicians we could find and created the entire game around their sick beats. Maybe I did, disembodied voice in my head, maybe I did, but you know what rocks? Music.

WAIT, DID YOU JUST COMPARE YOUR GAME TO A ROCK Did you lose your inner child at some point? That sounds terrible, you should play more games. Remember when you were a wee child, wandering the woods, a stick was a game, a rock was a game, a stick and a rock was a super advanced game.

Just shapes and beats ps4
