Music Monstars breaks free this September
A press release from publisher JoWood suggested, if not clearly, that they would publish developer Novarama's strangely compelling music game Music Monstars in North America. A new press release makes this sound a lot more likely, though the language is still a bit indirect.According to the press release, JoWood is handling distribution in "North- and South America, Portugal, Spain and India" Tivola, who is releasing the game in Germany, will release the game in September. Does that mean that JoWood will also release the game in September in all those territories? At the very least, this is the first time that this game has been mentioned specifically as a North American release.
Music Monstars Watch: Public Domain Edition
Developer Novarama has uploaded more videos of Music Monstars to YouTube, this time featuring music that is less ... contemporary. Our guess is that Novarama and publisher Tivola saved on the budget by mining the public domain. Two videos feature "Can Can" ("Orpheus in the Underworld") -- one in an easy mode, and one, seen above, played in hard mode. Another features a remix of Pachelbel's Canon that sounds distinctly like the soundtrack for a roller-disco wedding.As long as the final game still has "The Final Countdown" in it, anything else on the card will be little more than a pleasant distraction anyway.
