Soundodger - new rhythm game

moches · 10-12-2013, 06:56 AM

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

http://games.adultswim.com/soundodge...line-game.html

There's an upcoming deluxe version for Mac/Windows. Any thoughts?

The music, by the way, is absolutely beautiful (or at least the two songs I've heard so far).

**Tarrik** · 10-12-2013, 07:14 AM

Looks fun

**Dynam0** · 10-12-2013, 07:28 AM

Looks like a touhou bullet hell with some music in the background (I didn't see much connection between the music and the "patterns" if you know what I mean. Seems neat though

**Pseudo Enigma** · 10-12-2013, 07:31 AM

this is like Music Catch but more Bullet Hell-like...I think

I think there's more relation to the music than it seems. It's not as musically precise as something like Stepmania, but it captures a certain mood for me that just strikes my fancy.

Game gets really cool from the dubstep level:

this is one a rhythm game where you are not required to be in-sync with the music - but rather you act as an individual in an environment that is controlled by the music

which is why most might feel that the game isn't as intuitive as stepmania, and that's understandable !

definitely

Honestly speaking, it makes the chart/patterns more variable and abstract in that sense that you can do almost any pattern and no one can say you're wrong. Love it.

Wouldn't really call this a rythm game just like I wouldn't call audiosurf a rythm game for the most part as actually being accurate isn't a part of the game.

Its cool though. Really digging the music.

Wayward Vagabond · 11-4-2013, 05:30 AM

this is really fucking hard after a couple of drinks lmao

also this game follows the music more than stepmania will ever be able to

**ItsOnlyDanO** · 11-4-2013, 05:57 AM

bullet hell + music = this game

an interesting combination, might give it a try when it gets released for windows

could you elaborate on this? i don't see it personally since there doesn't appear to be a concept of pitch so i'm not sure that's true.

Wafles · 11-4-2013, 04:44 PM

Some songs are lackluster but some songs have absolutely amazing maps.

Katapult is probably my favorite.

Shame that there's only like 6 songs though. I'll probably buy a deluxe version if it offers a bit more songs and has the ability to play custom maps.

ddr_f4n · 11-4-2013, 05:03 PM

It isn't really a rhythm game, as it's more of a music game (a game that's heavily influenced by music, but does not require the player to gain some sort of rhythm to do well).

Still, it's a unique take to this game. It's kinda reminds me of Beat Hazard but focuses solely on dodging bullets instead of taking out ships.

Its available on steam and its well worth it IMO, the built in editor for making your own maps is pretty simple and fun to mess around in. And some of the extra songs are really really cool.

Oh wow I didnt realize this was out already.

Can you share your maps with other people easily enough?

**TC_Halogen** · 11-4-2013, 07:33 PM

As a danmaku enthusiast, this game is absolutely fucking incredible. I whole-heartedly agree with Carlos by the way: this game will be always be superior to following the music in comparison to SM, haha.

**Charu** · 11-4-2013, 08:23 PM

This game... I'm ashamed I ignored it. Now that I'm playing it, holy shit.

I thought this was going to be some shitty "oh, the bullets are produced by any music with it's waves" shit.

It's not like that at all. Fucking amazing.

**AlexDest** · 11-4-2013, 08:46 PM

distant stars is probably the best thing to have ever graced my ears ighgkjhfgiuyhadrf

anyways, this game is absolutely fantastic. nothing more to be said.
