Giphy GJ is a fun game that allows you to upload and remix GIFs on-the-fly, setting the tempo by pressing the spacebar in time with the music you’re listening to, then pressing keys on your keyboard to switch between GIFs. This is best done whilst listening to loud music to create some spectacular mind melting audio/visual creations.

It’s a fun freeform GIF remixing experience, and if you can’t be bothered uploading your own GIFs, there’s also a great selection of pre-loaded collections - including one dedicated entirely to cats!

Glitch is a fast paced procedurally generated WipEout-esque futuristic racer that’s built from the ground up to introduce players to great new music from unsigned bands.

Gameplay in Glitch most resembles Zone Mode in WipEout HD, with you racing around infinite neon tracks, unable to slow down. Glitch introduces an innovative ‘Invasion’ mechanic though that allows other players to invade your game and attempt to collect your bounty.

As you race round the tracks in single player, multiplayer split-screen or online multiplayer, you’ll listen to great new music from unsigned bands, with the handy ability to bookmark songs that you like at the touch of a button.

Glitch is still early in development, but it already impresses with it’s vibrant neon visuals, awesome audio and innovative multiplayer gameplay. Not just a great racing experience, a great way to discover new music too.

Michael E Michael is a fun MJ Vs MJ Moonwalker battle arena that pits players against each other with only their fists, their lasers and their dance moves.

Packed with fun MJ soundbytes and cool special moves, battles are set in an isometric arena with just two Michaels and some spawning collectable glowing orbs to power-up your special dance moves.

It’s a very silly game, that offers some fast paced and fun MJ Vs MJ action. Just beware – a match will last for less than a minute, but that chip-tune version of Smooth Criminal will stick in your head for days!

WEAVE is a beautifully animated minimalistic adventure that shows the journey of two characters as they try to cope with a shared event in very different ways.
The game is played in a similar way to Samorost, with you clicking on interactable sections of the screen and solving puzzles. Lasting just over five minutes and played entirely without dialogue, there’s a lot of symbolism in WEAVE’s beautifully constructed world – especially the large black immovable ball which looms over the characters.
The minimalistic abstract artwork and sombre music score help create an almost hypnotic effect as you bask in it’s beauty and unravel WEAVE’s heartfelt story. A touching and mesmerizing audio/visual experience.

Electric Highways is a beautiful first person adventure that sees you exploring a series of diverse virtual landscapes, each expertly interwoven with adaptive electronica soundtracks in a surreal cyber world.
You play a VR engineer who has just finished his latest project and plunges into his world one last time before he uploads it to the internet. What follows is a fantastic audio/visual experience in which each level feels like a song in an album, each with their own unique visual style and adaptive soundscape.
The vibrant worlds of Electric Highways offer a feast for the senses, evoking a gambit of emotions throughout it’s playtime. You’ll take part in some first person platforming and there are a few rudimentary puzzles to solve, but on the whole Electric Highways is more about the experience. And what an experience it is - an awesome symphony of abstract 3D visuals and pulsing electronica. Highly recommended.

Speed Of Light is a fun new Donkey Kong-style action platformer staring none other than Iron Maiden’s superb skeletal mascot – Eddie!
Released to promote the new Iron Maiden album and Speed of Light music video release (which is one of the best music videos we’ve seen in a long time), the gameplay is a fairly simple, but fun take on the classic Donkey Kong formula. You guide Eddie up to the top of increasingly high tower blocks, dodging items hurled at you, then picking up and hurling items to kill the enemy and rescue the girl.
The charming retro pixel art animation and classic arcade gameplay offer up a fun and addictive outing for the Maiden mascot. The Speed of Light song and music video are also pretty damn awesome – we’d love to see some of the other games featured in the music video released too!
Note: 2nd & 3rd GIFs are from the Speed of Light Game, the rest are taken from the Speed of Light Music video.

Chime Sharp is a sequel to the popular musical block moving puzzler, Chime – that was released on XBLA, PSN and PC, that’s like Tetris played through a sequencer.

You place pieces on a grid and those pieces are read as sounds by a beatline. As you tessellate the pieces to cover the playfield you both augment and progress through a piece of music. Your aim is to fill the grid and make quads, creating cool tunes and racing up a high score as you go.

I’s a fun game, with great audio and innovative gameplay. The Kickstarter ends in just a few hours so if you want in on the action you’d better hurry!

DOG WOLVE is a fun little oddity in which you smash TV’s in a parking lot while listening to funky beats and being followed around by a bright yellow dog.
More of an interactive first person music video than a game, a full playthough lasts just six minutes (the length of the song). During this time you can wander around freely and smash up as many TV’s as you like. You do get a score for smashing the TV’s, but it’s much more about enjoying the music and having fun smashing things. Strangely captivating TV vandalising fun.

Pale Machine is a wonderfully bizarre audio/visual experience in which you experiment with various different movements - such as inserting a tongue into an ear, or driving a car full of body parts while listening to some super cool beats.
Lasting the length of a song, Pale Machine is a little reminiscent of Wario Ware in the way you experiment with the controls, but with no real fail states, so you can just enjoy the music and experiment with the game. A short, surreal and very enjoyable experience.
