## About AudioSurf

AudioSurf is a 2008 indie rhythm racing game where players import their own MP3 library to generate procedurally created tracks. The core mechanic uses music-visualizer synchronization to shape each course, with players selecting characters and dodging obstacles while chasing high scores. Reviewers highlight how the game feels zen-yet-challenging, with players describing the experience as both hypnotic and relaxing. The system works with any music file, making each session unique depending on the track selected. Players note the design remains simple but endlessly replayable, with the novelty of racing through one's own music library providing lasting appeal. The game runs at Playable status on Steam Deck, and holds a 95% positive rating from over 6,100 Steam reviews.
