Awesome music game that uses your own music. Sometimes the shifts from slower-to-faster parts in songs doesn't go that smoothly, but other than that it's really smooth going. And fun! There are even leaderboards.

Apparently you need to sign up through a beta list but 4chan's /v/ provided the download link to skip all that.

EDIT: Okay apparently this is only for the weekend or whatever but Feb isn't that far away.

Looks cool, but what's the actual game part? I doesn't talk about that on the page, unless I missed it.

Oh, right. Basically if you connect (horizontally and vertically) 3 or more blocks of the same color they clear and you get points. "Hot" colors are worth more than "cold" ones, so reds are worth more than blues. Also different characters have special abilities, like grabbing a block to place down later.

The game generates the patterns based on the music's beat, speed, etc. So faster songs will usually be harder than softer ones, for example. Also different colors represent certain elements in the music, but I forget what.

you know I think this is one of Joy DIVisions finest tracks and all but seriously, it'd be the most boring roller coaster ride ever.

and you'd get hanged at the end.

Completely by accident!
