New Humanoid 12-inch: April's Featured Release

Sweet Acid Sound - Humanoid (2023, De:tuned) is Brian Dougans, 1/2 of FSOL since the Global LP in 1989. However, often on these new Humanoid releases, Yage is credited as the engineer, which is just another pseudonym for the duo. Sweet Acid Sound indeed. A bit lighter and housey-er than the usual serving, with a hint of 1990-ish Italo-house, which might not be on everybody's palette. 

Ok, technically speaking, it’s not an updated version of the demo, but a mutilated version of the current project. But that’s too long for a title.

While developing this game I made some changes, meaning the old demo doesn’t give you a proper idea of what you might find in the full game. For starters, the random song generation system has been remade from scratch. No more loading screens before every level and repeating sections. Furthermore, the “reverse songs” can now mix normal and reverse notes. All of these changes are reflected in the new demo, which contains around half of a normal run in the full game.

Additionally, the game now has 8 alternate endings. They are determined by 3 special items, 2 of them can be obtained in the store but change the game’s difficulty. The third one is obtained in a trivia minigame, which means the status screen in the rain levels has an actual purpose besides looking cool.
