Following in the footsteps of Audiosurf and Beat Hazard, the four-man squad of Binary Takeover has released their music-powered match-3 Turba. Now available for purchase and download on Steam.
In the game, players will select a song of their choice off of their PC library and jump into the gameplay. The pieces on the board generate and move to the beat of the player’s song choice. Clear blocks in time with the beat and make expert combos to maximize score and compete in online leaderboards for any and all songs played.
The title includes support for Music CDs, Mp3 Flac, Ogg, Wma, Ape and Mpc files, and also offers its own soundtrack dubbed “Turba Originals” to show they weren’t just looking to cut the soundtrack corner with this whole (awesome) player-music integration stuff. A demo is available on the game’s Steam page if you fancy a try.
The title runs $10, but goes for a dollar less its first week. A small amount of info digging (we really take Google for granted) led me to the developer’s site. Turba is actually Binary Takeover’s second effort. The first is a puzzle platformer, and IGF 2009 entrant, by the name of Lost Marbles. The game is free to download here (scroll down).
