Widescreen scaling is now handled much better. This is especially noticeable on ultrawide monitors, but it's an improvement for 16:9 displays too (Audiosurf was originally designed for 4:3). Most of the menu screens do still fully stretch.

Corkscrew twists were completely random, but now they highlight a big moment in the song. There's still the same 25% chance of a ride having a corkscrew (except for songs that really want one and therefore always have one).

You can now play in narrowscreen too if that’s your thing.

Have fun!

Important thing 1: You should ride Rupture[www.hamsteralliance.com], by The Hamster Alliance[www.hamsteralliance.com], in Audiosurf right now. It'll give you goosebumps.

Important thing 2: Rupture, by The Hamster Alliance is on Audiosurf Radio right now.

Important thing 3: THA made a multi-track Audiosurf video for Rupture. What does that mean?

A good description of Rupture from the man himself:
"Hey, look over here! Ooh, what’s that?! What’s this do? OMG, look at that! Whoa!

but with guitars and breakbeats. It’s like a choir and a metal band got in a fight with a drum machine."

We've got new music from Buenos Aires electropop group Jorisma.[www.jamendo.com]
Reviewers have said this music sounds like a new incarnation of OMD [en.wikipedia.org] So if you have a soft spot for the 80s you'll love these.

"Solar Storm" is perhaps the happiest-sounding album yet from brilliant French trance artist . And that's sayin something.

"Geometrie" is soothing and hypnotic in a blissed-out way, and the punishing little whip-like sound effects on "Sin" are a nice touch. Lastly, I'm not sure what happened to BS in "1982" but I definitely like it.

One of our favorite chiptune artists (and game developer), _ensnare_[www.ensnare8bit.blogspot.com] is back on Radio this week with a new album. "The Lock" is a great introduction to his sound, and "Inevitable Sound Shower" really does sound like little 8-bit stars shooting over your head. The full ablum, Impeccable Micro[ensnare8bit.blogspot.com], is just $3.

_ensnare_ is part of Mode7 - the genius developers behind Frozen Synapse[www.frozensynapse.com]! If you haven't played Frozen Synapse yet there's a free demo on Steam.
