A good reaction test with different levels & difficulties. Its good to test your reaction, try to get all gates to get extra points & a new highscore for your skills or you add new music you like & get many new levels to beat, the hardest level is thx rewind not so hard, only to get the full streak and all gates it a real challenge. For reaction test fans i give 75 % (own music, many different levels) & for...

I see that this game has mixed reviews, however I do not understand why. This is a free to play game that clearly works correctly, there's no bugs in the game, the art style is really nice and the gameplay is super fun. What more do you want? This game is basically the opposite of something like guitar hero in the sense that you need to dodge the balls to hear the song playing in the background. There are also 5...

Ya know, the reviews are complete overshot. Sadly, I know the resolution is poor and only can play with a girl character. But understand, it was released on July 1st, thats 1 week ago. Give it a chance for updates to come out, and chill. I enjoy the aspect of choosing a game to surf out to, and the fact that its free. I think sometime, there should be custom character (choose gender, skin, board, hair, attire,...

Its really nothing special taking in consideration theres hundreds of games of the same format out there, also free, and that also allow you to add your own songs. Graphics are lq and theres no story to it, just enter, ad song, play. meh, if you like it you like it.

A creative indie rhythm game where you play along with your own music, an interesting concept. The procedural levels and rewind mechanic are neat, but the visuals can feel like a psychedelic trip and the gameplay becomes repetitive quickly. The evil orbs are meant to represent the capitalist, corporate side of the music industry, while your character is an up-and-coming artist just trying to express his frustration.

Vinyl - it has a captivating premise that promises an immersive journey into the world of music, but it ultimately fails to deliver on its ambitious vision. The narrative, while intriguing at first, becomes convoluted and meandering, making it hard to stay engaged. Instead of building a coherent story, it feels like a series of disjointed moments that lack depth and emotional impact. The gameplay mechanics also...

Intro Vinyl is a audiosurf clone made in Unity. This game was made by ten gradute students whom are working in their thesis game. This game also allows the player to import their own music to the game (i used the Metal Gear Solid and Portal themes and they were quite relaxing), they also had a few music tracks that werent that bad. The Good • Allows the import of tracks • The tracks included are kind of cute...

For a free game, it's actually pretty fun! Most of the Steam achievements are easy enough to get, except for this one - "Platinum Album", but if you're up to it, it's very fun as you have to find the right song (yes, you can choose your own mp3 song to use for this achievement) and try to complete it! Good luck!

"On Vinyl conserved graphics" Vinyl is a F2P Unity audiosurf clone. Your female character surfs on a hoverboard through a tubelevel. Nice idea are the inplay chooseable leveldesigns (genre select). Basically the game is good in rating the difficulty of music pieces and generating obstacles fitting to the beat. You can even loadin your own mp3s. But Unity seems to load insanely long some external fileloader. And the...
