Turn Your Beats into Platforms: Why SongRunner is the Most Expressive Platformer of 2026
If you’ve ever found yourself tapping your foot to a game’s soundtrack and wishing you could literally step on the beat, your wish just got granted.

SongRunner, the rhythm-based puzzle platformer that started as a standout darling of the 2025 GMTK Game Jam, has officially dropped its demo on Steam, and it’s doing something remarkably clever. In most platformers, the level design is a static obstacle course you have to memorise. In SongRunner, you are the architect of the rhythm.

The Hook: Compose to Climb

The premise is simple but profound: the platforms are your own musical loops. As you navigate single-screen challenges, you use your keyboard (keys 1–8) to play notes. Each note you play snaps into a loop that syncs perfectly with the game’s high-energy original soundtrack. But these aren’t just sounds; they are physical objects.
- Play a high note? You’ve just placed a high platform.
- Drop a bass kick? That’s a sturdy ledge at your feet.
By the time you reach the exit flag, you haven’t just “beaten” a level—you’ve composed a unique melody that serves as the blueprint for your escape.

Why It’s Striking a Chord

What makes SongRunner feel so fresh is the shift from “reaction” to “expression.” While there is definitely a puzzle element—finding the right sequence of notes to clear a gap or dodge a hazard—there is no single “correct” way to play.

“At the end of every level, you’ll have created your own platforming solution as well as your own unique melody… it’s precise, puzzly, and extremely expressive.” — Developer Matt Goode

Key Features to Watch For:
- Handcrafted Challenges: Dozens of single-screen puzzles that test both your platforming skills and your rhythmic timing.
- Rhythmic Hazards: It’s not just about building; you’ll have to contend with environmental obstacles that move in time with the music.
- Zero AI, Pure Soul: Solo developer Matt Goode has been vocal about the game’s “No AI” development process, leaning instead into hand-drawn art and an entirely original soundtrack.
- Speedrunner Friendly: Level timers start the moment you move or play your first note, making it a perfect candidate for the competitive scene.
How to Play

The game is currently in active development with a full release planned for later in 2026. However, you don’t have to wait to start your jam session.

Whether you’re a musician who loves games or a gamer who can’t keep a beat, SongRunner offers a rare kind of “flow state” where your ears and your thumbs are working in perfect harmony.

Get Into the Groove: GRIDbeat! Hackers its Way to Switch and Steam This March
Ready to turn your hacking skills into a headline act? Acclaim and Ridiculous Games have officially announced that their neon-soaked rhythm dungeon crawler, GRIDbeat!, will be dropping on Nintendo Switch and Steam on March 26, 2026.

Announced during The Mix: Indie Fan Fest, this isn’t your typical stroll through a digital mainframe. In GRIDbeat!, the music isn’t just a background track—it’s your heartbeat, your tactical advantage, and your only way out of the most fortified network on the planet.

The Premise: Sync or Get Deleted

You play as a high-stakes hacker who has just successfully breached Knoss.OS, a legendary corporate network. You’ve got the data, but the exit door has slammed shut. Now, you’re trapped in a sprawling digital labyrinth known as the Mainframe.

To escape, you’ll need to outmanoeuvre security protocols, battle military-grade AI simulations, and avoid viral code—all while moving in perfect synchronisation with an electrifying soundtrack.

Key Features to Watch For:
- Beat-Based Dungeon Crawling: Every step, attack, and interaction is tied to the rhythm. If you miss a beat, you risk a total system shutdown.
- Tactical Maze Exploration: Navigate data labyrinths filled with “Server Formats”—deadly hazards that can wipe a level clean if you aren’t careful.
- Evolving Software Tools: Install powerful software upgrades and power-ups to unlock secrets and bypass system threats.
- Cyber.Mind Boss Battles: Face off against massive AI gatekeepers in high-intensity rhythm showdowns that serve as the ultimate test of your timing.
Can’t Wait Until March?

If the wait until March 26 feels like an eternity, there’s good news. A free demo is currently available on Steam!

The demo offers a substantial look at the game, featuring:
- 9 Selectable Hackers to suit different playstyles.
- 13 Stages, including Training Sims, Campaign levels, and even unlockable Challenge stages.
- 3 Difficulty Modes to ensure that rhythm novices and beat-masters alike can find their flow.
“GRIDbeat! is built around rhythm as a core mechanic. Every movement, every pulse, every enemy encounter is powered by an electric soundtrack.” — Jaime Bencia, Senior Producer at Ridiculous Games

Mark Your Calendars

Prepare to jack into the grid and let the music guide your escape. Whether you’re a fan of Crypt of the NecroDancer or you just love a good synth-wave aesthetic, GRIDbeat! is looking like a must-play for the Spring season.

GRIDbeat! launches digitally on March 26, 2026, for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

T-Pain is Dropping the Beat in My Singing Monsters: Welcome to the Clubbox!
Get ready to turn up the volume, Monster-Handlers! In a move that absolutely nobody saw coming (but everyone is now obsessed with), Grammy Award-winning legend T-Pain is officially entering the Monster World.

This isn’t just a quick cameo or a new hat for your Mammott. Big Blue Bubble has announced a massive collaboration that introduces a permanent new feature: The Clubbox, a brand-new virtual music club and concert space.

Meet Your New Manager: Autotuna

Leading the charge is a brand-new Lyrical Legendary Monster inspired by T-Pain himself, named Autotuna.

Starting February 25th, 2026, Autotuna will take up residence as the manager of the Clubbox. Far from just standing there and looking cool, this monster will act as your host and guide through the game’s newest social and musical hub.

Fun Fact: Autotuna is the second major artist-inspired Legendary to join the game recently, following the debut of bbli$zard (inspired by bbno$) on Cold Island.

What is the Clubbox?

The Clubbox is set to be a “dynamic and alive” virtual venue within My Singing Monsters. Here’s what we know so far:
- Opening Acts: The club launches with a series of “opening acts”—fresh monster bands and unique arrangements that set the stage for bigger things.
- The Headliner: T-Pain’s monster, Autotuna, is scheduled to make its debut as the club’s first official headlining act later this spring.
- A New Way to Play: Big Blue Bubble is hinting that the Clubbox will offer “new ways to collect songs” and interact with performances, making the musical experience more immersive than a standard island loop.
Why T-Pain?

Aside from being the “King of Auto-Tune,” T-Pain is a massive gamer and a long-time supporter of creative tech. According to David Fardell, Marketing Director at Big Blue Bubble:

“T-Pain’s talent and track record speak for themselves, but his dedication to growing as an artist and developing new talent around him connects with Monsters perfectly.”

When Can You Join the Party?

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 25th. The update will be available across all platforms, including iOS, Android, Steam, and Amazon.

Whether you’re a long-time breeder or a new player lured in by the “Buy U a Drank” energy, the Clubbox is shaping up to be the biggest vibe shift in the game’s history.

Are you ready to see what Autotuna has in store? Let us know which Monster you want to see on stage next!

From Dive Bars to Stardom: Why Overnight Sensation is the Roguelike We Needed

We’ve all seen the trope: a ragtag group of misfits piles into a rusted-out van with nothing but a beat-up guitar amp and a dream of making it big. But usually, that’s a movie montage. Shady O’Grady’s™ Overnight Sensation turns that grind into a high-stakes, deck-building roguelike that is as punishing as a 2:00 AM load-out in the rain.

If you’ve ever wondered if you have what it takes to manage a band without the actual risk of losing your security deposit, this is your game.

The Gameplay: Cards, Chords, and Chaos

At its heart, Overnight Sensation follows the classic roguelike loop, but replaces “dungeon floors” with “tour legs.” You aren’t slashing goblins; you’re slaying crowds.

Build Your Setlist: Your deck represents your songs and stage moves. Do you open with a “High-Energy Riff” to build hype, or a “Power Ballad” to win over the sceptics?
Manage the Ego: Every band member has a “Stress” and “Ego” meter. Play too many solos with your lead guitarist, and your bassist might just quit mid-set.
The Permadeath Factor: If your “Reputation” hits zero, the band breaks up. You lose the van, the gear, and the fan club. It’s back to the garage to start a new “project” with different perks.

Why It Hits Different

What Shady O’Grady’s™ gets right is the flavour. The cards aren’t just stats; they are relatable nightmares for anyone who’s ever been in a band.

Card Name	Effect	The “Real World” Vibe
“Bribe the Sound Guy”	Improves audio quality for 3 turns	Handing a crumpled $20 bill to a guy named “Ratty.”
“Broken String”	Skip next turn; gain +5 Tension	The literal panic of fumbling in the dark for a spare.
“Heckler Takedown”	Silence a negative crowd effect	That one witty comeback that earns the room’s respect.

The “Shady” Aesthetic

The art style leans heavily into the underground zine culture of the 90s—gritty, hand-drawn, and slightly caffeinated. It perfectly captures that feeling of a sticky venue floor. The soundtrack (naturally) is procedural, changing based on the cards you play, making your “deck” actually sound like a cohesive setlist.

Pro Tip: Don’t ignore the “Gas Money” mechanic. You can have a deck full of legendary hits, but if your van breaks down outside of Des Moines, the run is over.

Final Verdict

Overnight Sensation is a love letter to the DIY music scene. It’s a game where “success” isn’t just winning—it’s surviving the tour with your dignity (and your drummer) intact. It’s addictive, brutal, and captures the rhythm of the road perfectly.

Shredding the Underworld: Why Skate Story on Nintendo Switch is an Essential Ride

Get ready to kickflip through hell, because Skate Story has landed on the Nintendo Switch (specifically the Switch 2, as referenced in the latest news)! This isn’t your average arcade skater—it’s a vibrant, surreal, and deeply stylish adventure from solo developer Sam Eng and published by the perpetually cool Devolver Digital. If you’re looking for a skateboarding game with an unexpected narrative and immaculate vibes, grab your Joy-Cons and dive into the Underworld.

A Deal with the Devil, On a Skateboard

The premise alone is a perfect blend of absurdism and grit: You are a demon, crafted from glass and pain, and the Devil has given you a skateboard with a single, impossible task: Skate to the Moon and swallow it to be free.

This quest is your ticket through the nine layers of a cosmic, psychedelic Underworld—dubbed “The Emptylands.” Forget fire and brimstone; this hell is a mesmerizing vaporwave dreamscape of glowing ledges, twisted corridors, and tortured souls who might just need a little help (and a lot of kickflips).

Feature	The Vibe
Protagonist	A Crystalline, Glass-Bodied Demon
The Quest	Skate to the Moon and Consume It
The Setting	A Surreal, Vaporwave Underworld (The Emptylands)
Soundtrack	Dark, Dreamy Electro-Pop by Blood Cultures

Authentic Skating, Surreal Battles

Skate Story manages to feel both authentic and completely original in its gameplay. The controls are designed to capture the ritualistic beauty of skating. You’ll be mastering timing-based tricks, focusing on the rhythm of your pushes, ollies, and grinds. It’s less about button-mashing a million-point combo and more about nailing that perfectly timed heel-flip as you barrel through a chaotic tunnel.

Key Gameplay Elements:

Weighty and Responsive Controls: The game rewards precision, making simple moves satisfying and complex tricks a genuine achievement.
Skate-Based Boss Fights: Yes, there are bosses! You don’t defeat them with fireballs, but by landing varied, high-scoring trick combos in specific zones, turning your stylish skating into a source of metaphysical damage.
Exploration and Quests: Navigate hub areas, solve light puzzles, and talk to the odd inhabitants of Hell (like a forgetful frog or verbose statues) to unlock new pathways and story elements.
Deep Customization: Collect and spend ‘souls’ to upgrade your deck, wheels, and trucks, keeping your style fresh as you descend.

Why Play It on the Nintendo Switch?

While Skate Story looks stunning on all platforms, the Nintendo Switch offers a uniquely compelling way to experience this demonic adventure:

Portability: The game’s structure, with its short, intense skate courses and smaller hub worlds, makes it ideal for a pick-up-and-play session in handheld mode. Take your journey to the Moon with you, wherever you go.
Immersive Soundtrack: The phenomenal, psychedelic soundtrack by Blood Cultures and John Fio is a major part of the experience. Playing with headphones in handheld mode elevates the hypnotic beats and complements the visual style beautifully.
Unique Aesthetic: The game’s striking visual style—a blend of low-fi textures and high-fidelity lighting effects that refract off your glass body—holds up remarkably well on the Switch’s screen, making every grind feel like a moving work of art.

Whether you’re a veteran of skating games or just looking for a truly unique and stylish adventure, Skate Story offers a rewarding, deeply cool, and surprisingly emotional journey. It’s a love letter to the feel of skateboarding, transposed onto a bizarre canvas. Don’t miss this trip through hell; it’s one of the sickest rides of the year.

The Ultimate Life Simulation: Why The Pursuit of Happiness is a Board Game Must-Have
We’ve all played “The Game of Life” at some point. It’s a classic, but let’s be honest—it often feels more like a roll-and-move chore than a genuinely engaging life simulation. Enter The Pursuit of Happiness, the worker placement game that offers a much deeper, more strategic, and beautifully thematic journey from your teenage years to old age.

Forget spinning a plastic wheel; this is where you truly live a life on the tabletop.

More Than Just a Game: It’s a Life Story

At its heart, The Pursuit of Happiness (published by Artipia Games) is about crafting a compelling life narrative for your character. You start as a teenager, choosing a unique Child Trait that gives you a starting bonus and hints at your character’s personality.

From there, you spend Hourglass markers (your workers, representing precious time) on the board to take actions:
- Get a Job: Climb the corporate ladder from a simple office assistant to a high-level executive.
- Take on Projects: Dedicate time to hobbies, studying, or starting a business.
- Find a Partner: Build a relationship, move in, and maybe even start a family (with the popular Experiences expansion).
- Buy Items & Activities: Indulge in consumerism with a sports car, or find relaxation through meditation or a good book.
The choices are vast, but the time is always limited—just like in real life.

The Balancing Act: Time and Stress

The genius of this game lies in its central resource management challenge: Stress. Every action you take, especially working overtime or overloading yourself with too many commitments, increases your Stress level.
- Stress Management: Your Stress level directly impacts how many Hourglass markers (actions/time) you get in the next round. Too much stress, and you have less time to live and pursue happiness!
- The Health Challenge: Neglect your health projects, and too much stress can ultimately lead to an early “death,” ending your game sooner. This mechanic creates a constant, thrilling tension: Do you push for that big promotion now and risk burnout, or take a round to “Relax” and destress?
You are constantly juggling short-term happiness (immediate rewards) with Long-Term Happiness (victory points), which you gain from completing high-level projects, jobs, and long-term relationships.

Why Gamers Love It

While the theme is the main draw, the mechanics are what make it a satisfying “Euro-style” board game:
- Worker Placement with a Twist: Unlike traditional worker placement games, you are rarely blocked from taking an action. However, the cost—in resources, time, or accumulated stress—will often make you think twice.
- Tableau Building & Synergies: Your character’s “life” is built in front of you through a tableau of cards. Finding powerful synergies between your Job, Partner, and Projects is key to generating the resources you need for bigger, more impactful life goals.
- Incredible Replayability: With a massive deck of Project, Item, Job, and Partner cards, plus unique Child Traits and random Life Goals at the start of each game, no two lives will ever be the same. One game, you might be a globetrotting artist; the next, a stressed-out CEO with an expensive board game collection.
Final Thoughts

The Pursuit of Happiness is more than just a points-scoring exercise; it’s a vehicle for storytelling. The post-game discussions are often the best part, as players recount the hilarious, tragic, or oddly specific turns their lives took—from getting a midlife crisis motorcycle to finally completing that lifelong dream of becoming a master chef.

If you are looking for a game with a light-hearted, accessible theme that still offers the strategic depth a dedicated gamer craves, retire your old Game of Life and pick up a copy of The Pursuit of Happiness.

It’s truly a life well-lived… on your dining room table.

Trash to Treasure: Why You Need to Wishlist the Co-op Scavenging Game Dumpster Divers
Ever looked at a discarded sofa on the street and thought, “That’s a fortune waiting to be uncovered”? Well, a new game is letting you live out that fantasy! Get ready to dive deep into the world of cooperative scavenging with Dumpster Divers, the upcoming online co-op game from Gaggle Studios.

The Premise: Rejected Puppets, Relentless Pursuit

In Dumpster Divers, you and up to three friends play as rejected puppets who are turning trash into treasure. The core loop is simple, yet addictively chaotic:
1. Scavenge: Dive into dumpsters and alleys across varied city districts.
2. Loot: Haul home all the valuable (and sometimes stinky) items you can find.
3. Sell: Turn your trash finds into cold, hard cash.
But it’s not just a casual rummage. The game adds layers of fun with two key elements:
- The Clock is Ticking: Once the garbage trucks roll in each morning, the loot is gone. You’ve got to be fast!
- Evade the Cops: The police don’t take kindly to puppets picking through leftovers. Expect slapstick knockouts and silly, yet relentless, pursuits as you try to make it back to your base without getting busted.
More Than Just Scavenging: Crafting and Progression

What makes Dumpster Divers stand out is the depth it adds to the trash-picking formula. You don’t just sell what you find; you can also Recycle Scraps into ridiculous inventions!

Imagine building a trampoline to reach a tricky rooftop dumpster, or a cannon to launch a friend (and a heavy sack of loot) over a wall. These inventions are your key to getting an edge, messing with the cops, and hauling in the biggest hauls.

Beyond the gadgets, there’s a satisfying progression system:
- Start at the bottom of puppet society.
- Use your earnings to afford home upgrades and vehicles.
- The better your home and vehicle, the faster you can drive, and the more loot you can carry on each dive!
The Co-op Chaos: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

This game is built for friends. With online co-op for up to 4 players and proximity voice chat, the chaos is guaranteed to be hilarious. Coordinate a distraction while your friend grabs the high-value item, or save a buddy from a bumbling cop by knocking the officer out. The shared struggle and silly mayhem are what will make Dumpster Divers a fantastic game night staple.

Ready to Join the Ranks of the Discarded?

Dumpster Divers promises an action-packed mix of simulation, stealth, and social fun. It’s a hilarious take on the “trash to cash” concept, wrapped up in a charmingly ridiculous puppet aesthetic.

Keep an eye out for its upcoming release (details are still being announced!) and make sure to Wishlist it on Steam today to be the first to know when these tenacious trash-pickers are ready to hit the streets!

Mastering the art of unit composition and counter-play will be paramount to your success.

Level Up Your Groove: Imagine Fortnite x Daft Punk!
Can you hear it? That iconic synth-pop beat drops as you parachute onto the island. The shimmering helmets reflect the neon glow of Retail Row. The sleek, robotic vocals announce the final storm circle.

While it’s purely a dream (for now!), the idea of a Fortnite x Daft Punk collaboration is enough to send shivers down the spine of any gamer and music lover. Let’s dive into what such an epic crossover could bring to the world of Fortnite!

Skins That Make You Get Lucky

Of course, the first thing everyone thinks about is the skins. Imagine dropping into the battle royale as:
- Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo: Decked out in his signature gold helmet and a stylish, custom-designed suit that glows with reactive lighting.
- Thomas Bangalter: Sporting the equally iconic silver helmet, perhaps with a trench coat that billows in the wind as you build and sprint.
- Discovery Era Suits: Recreating the futuristic white suits from the Discovery album era, complete with intricate details.
- Tron Legacy-inspired Outfits: For those who loved their contribution to the film, sleek, black suits with glowing blue lines would be an instant classic.
Each skin could have unique reactive elements, perhaps glowing brighter with eliminations or changing patterns as you build. And imagine a rare “Encore” style unlocked after a certain number of wins!

Emotes That Bring the Beat Back

Fortnite emotes are legendary, and Daft Punk’s music is practically begging to be animated. We’d need:
- “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” Dance: A rhythmic, robotic dance that perfectly syncs with the song’s loop.
- “Get Lucky” Shuffle: A smooth, effortless groove that would have everyone doing the disco in the middle of a gunfight.
- “Around the World” March: A quirky, repetitive movement that would be instantly recognisable.
- Helmet Polish Emote: An idle emote where your character meticulously polishes their helmet.
Each emote would, naturally, come with a snippet of the corresponding Daft Punk track, making the island an even groovier place.

Back Blings, Pickaxes & Gliders of the Future

Beyond the outfits, there’s a wealth of creative potential:
- Back Blings:
  - Miniature Pyramid: A small, glowing replica of their iconic stage pyramid.
  - Record Crate: A futuristic-looking crate filled with glowing vinyl.
  - “Discovery” Spaceship: A sleek, animated model of the spaceship from their album art.
- Pickaxes:
  - Light-Up Mic Stand: A glowing microphone stand that functions as a futuristic pickaxe.
  - Synthesiser Keytar: A small, deployable keytar that harvests materials with a melodic thrum.
  - Pyramid Shard: A sharp, glowing piece of their stage.
- Gliders:
  - Daft Punk Logo Glider: A sleek glider featuring their iconic logo, perhaps with glowing trails.
  - Modular Spaceship Glider: A glider that unfolds from a compact form, mimicking their robotic aesthetic.
A New POI: The “Robot Rock” Concert Arena!

Imagine a limited-time POI appearing on the map: a massive, futuristic concert arena, shimmering with neon lights and pulsating with electronic music.

Why Daft Punk is a Perfect Fit

Daft Punk’s futuristic, enigmatic aesthetic and genre-defining electronic music perfectly align with Fortnite’s vibrant, ever-evolving world. Both brands have a massive global following, and a collaboration would undoubtedly break the internet. It’s a chance to introduce a new generation of gamers to legendary music and give long-time fans an exciting new way to experience their favourite duo.

Epic Games, if you’re reading this, please make our robotic dreams come true! The island is ready to get lucky.
