- Audioshmup, Basspusher, new skinning features, and steamdeck! - 2 March 2022
Two new play modes have been added: Audioshmup and Basspusher. Audioshmup Surf your way through bullet hell! Audioshmup is about weaving through bullets while shooting at the boss (automatically). Shots from the center score the most points. Basspusher Introducing Bass Blocks! Basspusher is a two-color puzzle mode with a new twist: the red blocks come from the bass in the music while the blue blocks come from overall intensity. With both of them on the track at once there’s a lot to push around and quickly form multicolor matches. New skinning features The skinning possibilities in AS2 have been massively upgraded thanks to work from community member DeathByNukes. It will be exciting to see what modders can do with these new powers - especially unity asset bundle loading. Details are here, with more coming: https://as2-doc.deathbynukes.com/ Audiosurf 2 is great on Steamdeck! The joystic…
- 10 New Songs Added! - 30 October 2018
10 New Songs! Audiosurf 2 now comes with 10 more built-in songs (in the Recommended section of the song browser). Like the others, these are hand-picked as some of the best rides out there. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F4622983%2Fd487b187b12ad8d6c534326cfefd5ccbbf262f1e.png The Murder City Devils (Rock) 5 Murder City Devils songs are now included with the game! These songs have been inspiring me for years and were some of my most-listened back when the original Audiosurf algorithm was coming together. In fact, one of the first Audiosurf screenshots ever released was of Flashbulb (it has the song name at the bottom, but I wasn't able to find it). It’s so awesome for me to be able to share these songs here! The five songs are: Flashbulb, I Want A Lot Now (So Come On), Press Gang, Rum and Whiskey, and 364 Days. Audioshield Theme (Epic) A new custom compos…

- Virtual punching, real music in the new game from Audiosurf's creator - 29 January 2016
In 2008, Dylan Fitterer released the first game to support Valve s Steamworks platform (other than Valve s own games, of course). You ve almost certainly heard of it: Audiosurf , a music game that builds courses around whatever song you feed into its algorithm. It s fitting, then, that Fitterer would also be releasing the first music game on Valve s SteamVR platform. The biggest surprise of Valve s VR games showcase was his new game Audioshield, which charges you with punching along to the beat as music flies towards your face. If you think that sounds like a workout, you are very, very right. More Vive games I saw 11 other VR games coming to the Vive at Valve's recent event. Read about all of them here . I like to unwind with Audioshield, Fitterer said when we spoke at the end of Valve s developer showcase. It allows you to make it as much of a fitness experience as you want. You can h…

- A love letter to Audiosurf 2 s Dusk skin - 29 July 2015
When I was a student Winamp was the MP3 player of choice, with its fancy music visualizations that transformed your songs into wobbling oscilloscope lines or exploding starfields or psychedelic tunnels of light. As a music lover I ve always been jealous of people who experience synesthesia, the wiring in their brains letting them connect sensory data so they see sound or hear colors. The visualizations in MP3 players were the closest I thought I d ever get to that sensation without drugs. Until Audiosurf came along. Audiosurf synchronizes with a song of your choice and turns it into a twisting rollercoaster that rises as the music builds and plummets when the tempo increases, filled with colored blocks for you to dodge or collect that clump together in the song s most intense passages. Most of the time you play as a spaceship that hurtles over these pulsing neon tracks against a backdro…
