Battle for your beats!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/symphony/]Symphony is a fast-paced, visually astonishing vertical shoot-em-up with unique mechanics that transform your very own music files into the arena of a fierce combat, and you can pre-order it now on GOG.com for only $7.99--that’s 20% off the full price until the game is released on Monday, August 6!

There’s something rotten in your music folder. A strange, malevolent entity that lurks beneath the surface of your MP3s, OGGs, FLACs, and M4As biting on the bits and nibbling on the notes. If you don’t act fast your precious collection will be turned into a cacophony of corruption! Luckily you have a way to prevent the musical mayhem. Take control of the virtual sound-glider and take the fight into the battlefield made of beats. Every song is a different landscape with its own mood, pace, enemies, and opportunities to gain game-changing upgrades for your glider.

is the pinnacle of music-based arcade games. It uses the music files from your collection to create its levels--each corresponding to its song’s intensity, rhythm, and cadence. Every level presents the player with a unique layout, specific score challenges, and unlockable items used to customize your weapons and craft. And not only is [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/symphony/]Symphony 20% off on GOG.com but our DRM-free version also features some GOG.com-exclusive achievements and you get immediate access to all the goodies, including the official soundtrack, consisting of 18 tracks hand-picked by the game’s developers.

I like the idea behind games like this using your own music, but I'm really bad in fast-paced games. But maybe I will give it someday a try.

Btw, Rammstein in the trailer ;-) It's nice to see that gog since some months now adds trailer to the games, didn't recognized that before.
The most interesting game I saw in years. Wish-listed for the moment.

Fast-Paced?? Just play some old Schlager or Walzer ;)

Some weird Bavarian Music would suit nicely as well, if you like to have a relaxed gaming experience ;)

The game adjusts to the music you play, so selecting a slow-paced song might help you.

Tell me more about your listening preferences ;-) Indeed it would be really interesting to see how the game react to some more obscure music, especially not heavily based on bass.

So this is the place to developer question?

If you come this way, extract the mp3 file from this and play:

I have played Groovin Blocks (From same developer) and it was pretty fun with some strategy elements.

I do have some questions for the GOG team regarding this game though.

1. What type of music files does this game support (MP3, WAV, OGG, etc) as I have played music games in the past that had difficulty or did not recognize certain audio file types.


2. Is it known if this game will appear in a bundle pack such as Humble Bundle or Indie Bundle? I know some people were rather upset when a previous indie title got released here then in a bundle at almost the exact same time.

OK, question for the devs:

I already have BeatHazard which is quite similar (although it's more an arena shooter than a vertical one) to your game, so what gameplay features (chain system, usefulness of the ship upgrades, different modes, etc.) could make Symphony unique?
I'm here for the old, so no go for me, but hope others enjoy it. :)

The supported file types are as follows: MP3, M4A & AAC (runs using QuickTime), OGG, WAV, FLAC, WMA, AIFF, WV, APE.

Hope this helps :D.
