    I just picked this one up during the steam sale (a whopping $2.49) and let me tell you: my eyes convulse from all the awesomeness on screen. This thing has brought a bunch of my music back to life, especially all the heavy metal and metalcore. I am still surprised at how awesome a game can be that's so cheap (it's technically indie also I suppose?).

    Orgasm for the eyes, yep, sounds about accurate.
     
    Also, hot tip: if you haven't already, enable V-Sync. Without it, when things get crazy on screen, you get horrible screen-tearing.
    Why it's not enabled by default is beyond me.

    I was going to download the 360 version, but it wouldn't let me play music off a USB drive. :( And I can't connect a 360 controller to my computer (mainly due to cheapness), so I shan't be playing this any time soon.

    I can't even watch the quicklook, I feel like I will seize at any given time.  It looks like such a cool game, I wish I could play it.

    Its a great game. I posted some screenshots in the screenshot thread (the new one) and they still don't show all of the crazy that game has to offer.

    Yeah, that's a good description. Very fun. And it was made by one dude, as well as his first game. That's a good start.

    It is a very nice looking game. Some of the achievements will suck to get, but oh well.

    I hate the fact that you need to get power ups for volume, it's fucked up!
