New music game Musorqua announced from AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA team


The development team that brought us the downloadable base jumping PC game AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity is already hard at work on their next title. Today Dejobaan Games revealed their plans for Musorqua. It's a game that the team admits looks an awful lot like their previous title but in fact is a music-puzzle themed project.

The above YouTube video shows off the early prototype gameplay for Musorqua which has you falling through a tube and hitting and connecting with plates and other icons. The idea is that you are building and altering a song as you go along in the game. There's no word on when the game will be released and we suspect it may be a while before it's completed

Download: Aaaaa...! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity Demo

Today marks the official release of the stunt game, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. Going with the occasion is a brand-new demo that gives a taste of some of the game's 80 high altitude levels. The full version can be purchased via online outlets such as Direct2Drive, GamersGate, Impulse, Steam, and WildTangent or through the official website. System requirements are shown after the jump.

"BASE jump through a floating city, creating your own stunts to delight your fans.

You dive off a skyscraper, relying on quick reflexes to negotiate the intricate tangle of girders that make up the floating city. All eyes are on you as the judges mark your score. One hundred points for hugging those exposed struts as you fall. A thousand for planting a kiss on the side of that building. Twisting and turning, you thread the needle between two billboards, earning cheers from your fans.

But while reflexes are important, it's quick thinking that gets you the win. One block away, you spot a crowd of protesters decrying your sport, and make a split second decision. You break off course, stare them straight in the eye, and flip them the finger. They explode into a burst of fury, but the judges absolutely love it, bumping you up to first place. Now all you have to do is to make that landing without ending up a loose sack of broken bones."
