Has anyone with Vista gotten this to work?

When I run Audiosurfboard it it has some stupid "Program not running error" and after that I open Audiosurf and it says "Expired Beta" still.

Hm, works for me on Vista :/.

Did you actually follow the instructions? Install, move stuff around, etc?

These play pretty well, in my opinion:

Who was in my Room That Night? -Butthole Surfers
Through the Fire and Flames -JARGONFARCE
Kings of the Nordic Twilight - Luca Turilli
Face of Fact- Kotoko
kasta sten på zaghurim - Slagsmålsklubben mix???

E: Pipe Dreams is amazing on Audiosurf, but I can't find the right ganon slayer mix with the higher BPM..

I will be updating this list as I find more interesting songs.

What modes do people play on? I like using Eraser and Ninja Mono..

Ninja Mono isn't hard at all, you just right click to clear gray blocks in the stack.
This game is much better with electronic or well-produced music because Audiosurf picks out the beats clearly. BETA 2 in a few hours!

I suppose I'll take it more seriously once I can use the online high score tables. Though the full version will be sold

Through the Fire and Flames (Elite Ninja Mono) (Click to reveal)

I think that for this being the 3rd song I played in the game so far (only the 2nd song I've played on Elite Ninja Mono), I did pretty damn good.

And yeah, Elite Ninja Mono (is it Elite Ninja...or Ninja Mono...or Elite Ninja Mono?) is my favorite game type. I tried Pusher and didn't even finish, and the others don't sound interesting.

Ninja Mono gets old fairly quickly, which makes the more puzzle-oriented modes more appealing in the long run.

Nah, this is why they included all the modes. I find the puzzle modes incredibly boring because you have to work out stuff as you go along (which, come on, is impossible when you have 30+ blocks going past every few seconds.)

However, dodging stuff is always possible no matter how insanely fast it gets, and working towards a no-grey run will keep me interested for.. well, at least as long as a rhythm game usually keeps me interested.

Well Jester, I feel that ninja mono could actually be a LOT of fun, yes. The main thing that turns me off to it is that because the program generates all the blocks, you don't really hit things that stick to a single beat and often there are just long sessions of dodging. I know there's no real way for a computer to create a stage that consistently follows a beat, but it'd be pretty c00l if they created a track editor in the future!

Well, idk I think it gets the beat of songs rather well. I'm with Jester on this one.

Also, if anyone has Klaxons - "Gravity's Rainbow", play that song in Ninja Mono. It gets downright insane towards the end: the lanes are completely flat, you're flying through, the screen STAYS curved around to the left and right the whole time (it flips back and forth), and there's only red blocks for points.

uh, well, every song i've played so far has had a rhythm to it. chorus bits are always the same, and blocks are strewn on the correct beats to either JUST let you continue the combo or set too far apart on purpose to break the combo.

so um, yeah. you do get bits of dodging, but it's on purpose and fits with the theme of the song. if they didn't have those you'd get like 20 zillion points and that isn't the idea of ninja mono.

it really just depends if you like puzzle style games or rhytmn style games more.

Yeah I suck on most other songs though. I forget which song it was but I think it was a Foo Fighters one and I didn't even get Bronze.

My best score yet, on Ninja Mono. This game is really fun, and a great way to past the time.

I really enjoy rhythm games, and that's the source of some of my criticisms. Playing games like Elite Beat Agents, Guitar Hero, and Stepmania where the rhythm is consistent, apparent, and well timed makes me wish that it were more spot on here. I feel in ninja mono more like I'm just trying to dodge and pick up random scattered blocks that don't always follow a consistent rhythm. This is especially apparent in songs that have a lot going on in them, and even though I realize this isn't going to bother everybody, I wish there were a way to give the player more control over a generated stage. I've also noticed some tracks generated with ninja mono are a little buggy and have far too few collectible blocks to even allow the player to get a silver medal. It's good that other people enjoy this though, and maybe I'm just playing this particular mode for the wrong reasons."
