As 90% of people say on the Steam forum of that game... I think it sucks...

It looks... pretty boring.

Not to mention some of the biology in their "levels" thing is way off. Durr, it's called "eukaryotic cell", not "animal cell", nubs.

Oh, btw, the music game that I did like from Steam was Mevo and the Grooveriders, it doesn't let you load your songs, but it's great fun nevertheless...

I noticed it when they put it on, and I tried the demo.  Since you can't use your own songs in the demo, and the songs that come with it are pretty ambiguous with beat timing, I couldn't tell how well the songs were matched to the rays.  Still, looks like a good game if you like Audiosurf(and if you don't, why are you here reading this).

It seemed like an interesting idea when I saw it.
Played through the demo and was left feeling a bit meh over it.

I couldn't see how the music was influencing things at all and the interface felt very clumsy.

With it being so cheap I might buy it at some point anyway though.

I watched the video. It looked REALLY boring.


Now Music Catch, that's actually pretty good.

Good concept on paper, demo failed to impress me.

Green = listening, red = surfing

I'll have the full version, I believe, in the morning. I'll see if the full version is any better than the demo, which entertained me until I realized that I can't get any farther than where I already was and there were about five quarters of a song on the game.

I didn't really care for it at all. I didn't even check for options (are there options?) but mouse sensitivity was way too high for me and I'd rather have the direction mouse motions cause rotation be inverted. Even after I got used to it, though, it was completely boring. I only played for like 5 minutes.

I downloaded the demo, and in the beginning, it was a pretty nice game. But after 5 minutes it really gets boring. I've seen better internet flash games that are free. When you exit, it says that the things gets synced to the music in the full game, but I don't feel like taking the risk and waste 5 euros on it.
