Indie dev <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/dejobaan-games/">Dejobaan Games</a>, best known for <em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity</em>, has officially announced its next game, the less difficult to spell, easier to remember: <em>1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby)</em>. The studio tells us that <em>Kick It!</em> is the result of the "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/19/dejobaan-looking-to-branch-out-to-other-platforms-strongly-prot/">very strongly prototyped</a>" <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/16/aaaaa-creator-announces-music-game-musorqua/"><em>Musorqua</em></a> project, which creates levels based on your MP3 library.<br />
<br />
<em>Kick It!</em> is currently in alpha testing and available to purchase for $9.95 (33 percent off), with an official release date expected in the next six to nine months. The studio will continue updating the game free of charge for those who purchase now. Dejobaan is also seeking feedback with "crazy-ass ideas" while they continue to polish the game. Speaking of crazy, drop on by past the break for the game's<em> non compos mentis</em> trailer.<br />
