More Free Music Goodness from WayForward & Friends

WayForward Technologies (Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, A Boy and his Blob & the under-rated Barbie and the Three Musketeers) released another gem on Nintendo’s DSiware service this past week, Mighty Milky Way. I haven’t played it yet but nintendolife.com gave it a 9/10.

What I’m excited about, just like the Shantae sequel, they’re giving away the game’s upbeat soundtrack by prolific scorer of cool things Jake Kaufman! But wait there’s more! Act now and you can also grab the soundtrack, also by Kaufman, of it’s spiritual successor, Mighty Flip Champs, another clever dsiware platformer! I’ve been listening to both all afternoon and it’s definitely a lot of fun.

If you have a couple extra bucks and want to help support great game music, you can also get the soundtrack at Bandcamp.

Mighty Flip Champs

Mighty Flip Champs is just a new excellent part of what the DSi and DSiWare is all about. Small, original, and exclusive little games that rock. In Mighty Flip Champs, you manipulate the world by changing the level, and you do this by flipping the level to the next version. The next version is on the bottom screen and the current is on the top. You check the relation between your current version and the next version to determine when to flip, where to flip, and how much time you want to leave between flips.

While that sounds confusing, and I’m sure the video may confuse you more, the game’s premise is fairly easy once you understand how the top screen and bottom screen relate to each other.

It’s a contemporary twist on classical non-jumping platforming experiences and at eight dollars, if you have a DSi, you really should not pass it up. The music and graphics are superb, by the way, of course you probably knew that while watching the video.
