NOW I’M SPINNING: THINKING STUDIOS’ PC MUSIC PUZZLE RAYCATCHER

A new indie PC music development I’m keeping a close eye on: Thinking Studios’ Raycatcher, which looks like a menage spawn between fan favorite Audiosurf (for its dynamically generated play), Newtonica (for its in-bound color matching), and Cyclomite, the InstantAction game from Stubbs the Zombie creator Wideload (for its flat-field spinning).

The demo currently offered by Thinking doesn’t give you a full sense of how it will eventually play (there’s no mp3 support, and you can’t even get really clever and try to test its mettle by sneaking in Animal Collective songs by renaming the demo mp3s in the data folder), but watching the video above should illuminate things, as it were (at least, until the RIAA/YouTube mutes the music).
