    You can get the demo which lets you play 5 songs on steam. Luckily, you can uninstall and reinstall over and over ad infinitum if you're too cheap to pay the $9.955 ;). Basically the game takes your music file (it accepts a ton of different formats) and translates it into a "course"... the road moves with the beat, speeds up/slows down appropriately etc. Also the blocks are coordinated in as well. It sounds simple and it is... but it's a BLAST when you're stoned and just wanna chill and listen to music.

    Seriously, this is THE experience when listening to music stoned.

    Few different examples from dif genres:

    (you can turn off all the other noises when you collect blocks, it's all optional, and choose black/white background)


    It seems to work best with beat heavy music, especially electronica, but really anything.

    BTW I suggest sticking with mono mode. It's not challenging at all, but the other modes take your attention away from the music too much IMO. Mono just basically make your already enhanced audio experience have a kickass visual one as well.

    And like I said, it's all free. Steam's free, and if you're cheap you can just reinstall/uninstall every 5 songs :D (it's a small file so you can do it pretty quick).
     
  2. Yeah it came out like 3 years ago on Steam. I used to take salvia hits while it loaded and trip balls and enter different dimensions while still having the ability to ride the wave. Was pretty fun for a while, but there wasn't enough variety between songs and I lost interest
     
  3. Had this game for about 2 and a half years, torrented it. :D
    Try it with a sick dubstep song, high or not, you will trip balls. :D
