Pulsing Vectors of the Universe

"Here was someone who, in the course of 20 minutes, had shattered every assumption we made about a game that we had spent weeks practicing. We discovered the difficulty actually ceases to increase after around 4 million points; perhaps the developers never imagined anyone surpassing that mark.

Fun read...I need to get this game for my DS. Sounds like a fun ride.

If you go on Youtube and watch some of those dudes that crack 100,000 regularly on Audiosurf it can be pretty enlightening. Just the obvious idea of coordinating the grey blocks to maximize combos never occurred to me until I saw someone doing it there.

Naw, I can crack it on Pusher. But Ninja mode is something I've just lately started playing and my first instinct was to just avoid all gray blocks.

I have never played this game but I think I am going to download it now. Looks like a blast!

Geometric Wars was inspired by the robot fight scene in the last Matrix. God I love that game. I go into some kind of epalectic fit when I play it and can usually clock a 2 million score on an adverage play. I've pushed 5million once... I was a god for 4 minutes.
