Are you ready for the next game made by the same team that brought us AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity? Even if you are not, developer Dejobaan Games is ready to give it to you. Today the team fully revealed 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby), a music-rhythm-action title.

Besides continuing Dejobaan Games' penchant for weird game titles, this new title also has the player falling through buildings in order to score points just like AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! did. However this time the buildings are generated through the player's local MP3 music library which can be further altered by changeing the tune' "genomes". You can pre-order the game now for $9.95 (a 33 percent discount from the game's final price) and also start playing an alpha version. The final version of 1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby) is due for release sometime in 2011.

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

Dejobaan have been making games for a while now, and all of their games share the same surreal, vectorized style, with the possible exception of The Wonderful End of the World. They know how to make games that are just plain fun, but also incredibly confusing. That's how we like it, and their latest game is no different. Titled AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, it has two things going for it right off the bat: the fact that it is made by Dejobaan, and the incredibly confusing and possibly filepath destroying name. For simplicity's sake, I will refer to it as Aaaaa! for the rest of this article, as it is significantly more readable.

The base jumping game with the memorable title AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard For Gravity (just speaking it gets us winded) has been kicking around for a while thanks to a pre-release demo. But the full game from developer Dejobaan Games is about to come out next week and Steam has a new offer for those who want to pre-order the title.

Simply put your money down now and you get a 10 percent discount off the game's normal Steam price. Also you get access to a free game, The Wonderful End of the World, from the same developer. That's a $9.99 value right there. So in short you buy a game about falling off buildings and get a free game about the end of the world via a mythological demon with the head of a fish. That sounds about right.

Titles of games are interesting in that most of them are fairly unmemorable. Doom....that could mean anything. So could Half-Life. So could Unreal. Lots of great games don't really have titles that jump out at you.

Developer Dejobaan Games doesn't have that problem with their upcoming PC game. It's being called (and we are not making this up) AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!. Yep, they didn't think putting lots of As in the title was enough...they also put in three exclamation points at the end. And with a title like that, what do you think it's about? Yep, you guess it..it's about falling down to the ground from a long way up.

Specifically the game is about BASE jumping; the so-called "sport" of jumping off the roof of a high skyscraper and doing some stunts before activating your parachute before you hit the ground. If you don't time it right you could turn into a few pounds of messy beef and bone. The game is due out this summer and the screenshots that accompany the announcement have a fairly surreal look to them. We will see if AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! can live up to its totally awesome title later this year.
