Audiosurf is a puzzle/rhythm hybrid game created by Invisible Handlebar, a personal company created by Dylan Fitterer. Its track-like 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, few days after winning the Independent Games Festival 2008 Excellence in Audio Award, heavily influenced by the hit 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. On March 22nd / 2012, a sequel, Audiosurf: Air was announced via Dylan Fitterer's twitter account, and the Audiosurf's launch screen.
In Audiosurf the player controls a levitating vehicle similar to those found in Wipeout or F-Zero. The player then maneuvers it down a colorful multi-lane highway, collecting blocks in a manner similar to Klax. The ship is controlled either by a mouse, the arrow keys, the number keys, or a Gamepad (Using XInput drivers such as the Xbox 360 controller, not the older DirectInput drivers). The game also supports the rumble feature of the Xbox 360 controller.
You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waitin' on your night and day
And thirty two hands wavin' fans
Just to brush the flies away
You deserve persian maidens
just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls harem girls
in half a dozen sizes and shapes
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I will give you all i own
You deserve a queen like Kleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love gonna geetin' from me
You deserve ???? barges
just to float you down the Nile
And when you blue you will have a few jesters
just to make yoou smile
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I will give you all i own
You deserve a queen like Kleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that
I will love you
Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love gonna geetin' from me

You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waiting' on you night and day
And thirty two hands waving' fans
Just to brush the flies away
You deserve Persian maidens
just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls harem girls
in half a dozen sizes and shapes
If i had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
to come along and share your throne
But you can that

Love you to the end degree
And what you deserve just can't compare

You deserve a queen like Cleopatra

But you can that
I will love you
