Audiosurf: Tilt

Confirmed by Microsoft with a bunch of ‘meh’ racing games, Audiosurf: Tilt is by far, the most exciting game currently announced for the Zune HD. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much else confirmed about it, apart from the fact that it’s in development for the portable media player.

The Original Audiosurf featured the tagline ‘Ride your music’ and allowed gamers to pick a song from their collection, and play an arcade game, where they had to collect bricks in order to make matches. But, unlike games such as Guitar Hero, or Rock Band, the game will allow you to use any .MP3 file to play with. The game detects the frequencies and intensity of the song, and as a result, one is literally able to experience their music

in a colorful, and surreal experience.

According to a very short interview with an Audiosurf developer, the Zune HD version has full access to the music library, and will be controlled using the tilt interface (Obviously). There have been no plans to make an Audiosurf for the iPhone just yet, with the music binaries on the iPhone still locked. Tapulous has announced a game much like Audiosurf for the iPhone though, ‘Riddim Ribbon”. The first game in the series will be with the Black Eyed Peas, a wise move by the developers.
