Inside My Radio laying down extra tracks for official release
Action platformers might be second nature to you after years of practice, but how many have you played that demand a knack for rhythm for everything but basic movement? You can add Inside My Radio to that shorter list once Seaven Studio finishes helping TurboDindon expand the build that won the Overall and Audio prizes during 2012's Lundun Game #23 Jam. Inside My Radio follows a little grinning square as he tries to fix the boom box he lives in. While players can freely move left and right, dashes and jumps must be done in unison with an area's beat. Different sections of the stereo will be backed by different styles of music, with the existing build featuring electro and disco-styled stages. Visuals shift to accommodate each genre, complete with our protagonist swapping headphones for a poofy hairdo between the electro to disco-driven dance floors. The game's website lists a "when it's done" arrival for the finished version on PC and consoles, but if your interest is piqued and you're running a PC, you can try the Lundun build right this minute. Your clicks don't have to match a beat as you make your way to the download link, but it might prepare you for what's ahead. [Image: Seaven Studio, TurboDindon]
Boombox beats and a winning smile in rhythm platformer Inside my Radio
Mixing a kind of digital grafitti style with synaesthetic visual effects, Inside my Radio is a rhythm platformer with a modern, colorful look. Also, we can't take our eyes off its cubic hero and his look-at-me smirk, the cheeky devil. The Ludum Dare 23 game jam winner is all signed up for a fully-fledged release, courtesy of original creator TurboDindon and Ethan: Meteor Hunter dev Seaven Studio. Seaven says paying attention to the rhythm is critical to negotiating Inside My Radio, and it chastises anyone who dares to play the game muted. It's obviously disappointing when a rhythm platformer doesn't lose much with the music turned off, so hopefully that's a good sign. While the trailer lays down electro beats, each of Inside My Radio's worlds revolves around a particular musical style, including - jump on it - disco! There's isn't a release date yet, but Seaven says the game's coming to PC and consoles "when it's done." [Image: Seaven Studio]
