Audiosurf is a 2008 music-based puzzle video game created by Invisible Handlebar, a company founded by Dylan Fitterer. Its track-style stages visually mimic the music the player chooses, while the player races across several lanes collecting colored blocks that appear in sync with the music. The game was released on February 15, 2008, over Steam, a few days after winning the Independent Games Festival 2008 Excellence in Audio Award, heavily influenced by the soundtrack composed by Pedro Macedo Camacho. The full version was for a long time only available for purchase through Steam, but was later released as a retail product in Europe, by Ascaron. Audiosurf was the first third-party game to use Valve's Steamworks technology. The Zune HD version was also released as Audiosurf: Tilt. A sequel, Audiosurf 2, was released in May 2015.
Runs well on modern hardware.

The Title of the game tells you everything, you are surfing/riding your music. It detects the beats and rythm of your song and moves the track to it. Works best with electronic music.
playing audiosurf still makes it easy to revisit older tracks—especially artists like basshunter—that fits the game well. for those who remember it from release years, it often brings back a specific era of pc use, with flash games running in the background, low-quality .mp3 libraries on local storage, and messaging through AOL or MSN.
Wonderful game! I mean... what more can I say? The gameplay loop is simple, but addictive and fun! And... oh gods does it get challenging... but it never feels unfair. Me when playing 1Stp Klosr.
