Beat the Game

 

Worm Animation have released a character video for their upcoming musical adventure game, Beat the Game. The new character video features the characters Mystik and Moss.

“Mistik is a music producer who makes beats for a living. Equipped with his trusty sampler, he travels to create new sounds out of everyday objects, from a simple wooden stick to a metal can. Moss, is a bassline maker who lives underground, only making himself visible at night. While Moss doesn’t make entire tracks, his basslines are exactly what Mistik needs to give his tracks that extra kick and bump in energy.”

 

Beat the Game is a very unique game that brings together gaming and music in a very unusual and interesting way. Players have a sound scanner to help them find elusive new sounds, which they can combine using their portable holographic music mixer to create new sound combos. Your music mixer has volume faders and effects too. Upon collecting all of the sounds, players will perform a live show!

Currently there is no specific release date for Beat the Game other than “Coming Soon”.  The game is coming to PC via both Steam and the Humble Store, as well as to the Xbox One. You can learn more about the game at the Worm Animation website and the full press release is below:

Adventure Game Beat The Game Gets Mistik and Moss Character Video

 

Worm Animation have released a new video for Beat The Game that focuses on the game’s hero, Mistik, and the mysterious tree figure, Moss. The video showcases Beat The Game’s beautiful hand-drawn character style that draws influence from the European surrealists like Dali and Ernst, while also making clear the Worm Animation’s pedigree in film animation, notably their contribution to Oscar nominated short film, Gopher Broke.

Mistik is a music producer who makes beats for a living. Equipped with his trusty sampler, he travels to create new sounds out of everyday objects, from a simple wooden stick to a metal can. Mistik doesn’t adhere to our concepts of dimension, distance, time or space because he lives in a dream world, a musician’s dream. Beat The Game’s second character, the hulking Moss, is a bassline maker who lives underground, only making himself visible at night. While Moss doesn’t make entire tracks, his basslines are exactly what Mistik needs to give his tracks that extra kick and bump in energy. Together, and with other characters, Mistik and Moss form a colourful cast in a bizarre world driven by the love of music.
