Ride your music: Introducing BodySurf
In a very interesting use of Wiimote homebrew, Evan Jones has developed a GlovePIE script that enables people to use their Wii remote and Balance Board on their PC to play the new, popular, music game AudioSurf.
For those not in the know, AudioSurf is a music-based puzzle game that develops unique puzzles based on the user’s mp3 input. The sheer number of play-style combinations is mind blowing and if you’re in any way a rhythm/puzzle game fan, I highly recommend you get it.
That being said, this homebrew script for GlovePIE enables players to steer their music ridin’ vehicle using the balance board and utilizes the Wii remote for alternative character specific actions. While there are some demo videos of Body Surf in action, it’s hard to actually distinguish use of the Balance Board. If you’re interested in seeing it in action though you can check out a few videos by clicking the ‘read more’ link below.
