Indie music-puzzle game Auditorium coming to consoles

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 22nd 2009 at 5:00PM }

Auditorium has been singularly responsible for reducing the work capacity of this blogger. Why? It's addictive -- why not give it a try? The music-puzzle game is simple to learn, but hard to master. An ethereal stream flows across the screen and players must position various orbs to redirect the flow. As you activate various pads, the background music becomes far more complex and lively. (Let's just say it's much more effective to play than to explain.)

The developer, Cipher Prime, recently won an indie game competition at 2BeeGames, and will now find the game published across multiple console systems. While specifics haven't been announced yet, we're hopeful to see the game appear on as many platforms as possible.

The DS would be a perfect fit :)

I think it'll work for all consoles and handhelds.

Perfect PSN/XBLA game. This would look great in 1080p :)

... This really, really isn't a game about graphics. It would look pretty much the same on everything.

looks like this won't be the first time I buy a game twice

I stumbled on that game a while ago. It's pretty neat.

Think I caught wind of this from Download Squad's Time Wasters. I definitely liked it.

A DS port would be awesome.

A DS version would be a great distraction on the go, but I'd like a HD version for the PS3/360 as well. Very enjoyable, relaxing game. I think I'll go play again.

is this the same game on the iphone from like 2 years ago... ii think it was called Light Jockey... ah HA!

Light Jockey is developed by Jason Fieldman

nevermind he actually contacted auditorium about making it better... however... no where on Auditoriums site do i see any credits going out to Jason Fieldman

so what came first? whos idea was it originally?

Awesome! I remember being blown away by the demo to this months ago, I'm a bad gamer for not having bought the full PC version yet.

VeHeMeNcE @ Jul 22nd 2009 9:04PM

Wow, I haven't heard of this game till now. Tried it out and I like it a lot! Might have to pick this up.

this works on the ps3 browser. it's not to responsive but i get the basic idea. cool concept.

William Louie @ Jul 22nd 2009 11:07PM

This game was pretty cool; my friend's brother made the community favorite there, but I seriously enjoyed Auditorium.

I'd buy it, but online connection required is a downer. my laptop isn't always in wifi range. I wouldn't hesitate for a XBLA, iPhone, or DS adaptation though, $11 for just an account to play the game in a browser doesn't cut it for me though.

If I'm misunderstanding, I'd welcome a correction from someone who has actually "purchased" the game.
