Audiosurf 2 glides onto Steam Early Access today
Musical rollercoaster Audiosurf 2 is grinding a preparatory ascent before tumbling down onto Steam Early Access later today. Creator Dylan Fitterer confirmed the sequel's Early Access arrival, previously set for September, will only be slightly later than expected. As per before, Audiosurf 2 procedurally generates levels based on songs in your music library, letting you ride your tunes across various play modes. One of the sequel's new modes is Wakeboard, this featuring two boats that tug you along and provide opportunities to jump and pull off tricks. Another new mode, Audiosprint, sees you jump and duck over obstacles, and it supports local four-player co-op. The game proper is set to take to the water later this year.
Audiosurf 2 rides the wave to Steam Early Access in September
Audiosurf 2 will make its debut on Steam through the Early Access program sometime in September. The news comes from a brief blurb over on the game's official site. Previously, the sequel was billed as Audiosurf Air. Creator Dylan Fitterer's studio, Invisible Handlebar, even went so far as to launch a website and solicit beta applicants for Audiosurf Air early last year. Predecessor Audiosurf - a game that builds custom 3D levels from your music library, which you then "surf" in the game - first launched on Steam in February 2008. Audiosurf is often credited as being a pioneer in the modern indie games movement.
