Modular synthesizers and video games merge in a new creation by Look Mum No Computer
In a unique fusion of music and gaming, the indie game "Look Mum No Computer" has been encapsulated inside a PC game and is now available on Steam. Developed in collaboration with German developers The Bitfather, this twin-stick shooter offers a distinct gaming experience for music lovers and gamers alike.
The game puts you in the shoes of Sam, a character inspired by the real-life musician and synth personality behind the YouTube channel "Look Mum No Computer." Sam is accompanied by his robotic backpack partner Kosmo, and together they venture into glitchy, surreal electronic environments to battle rogue machines and fix them from the inside.
The gameplay is a blend of action and puzzle elements, with twin-stick controls that allow players to maneuver Sam and Kosmo through chaotic levels. The weapons are DIY synth modules, inspired by the iconic and eccentric designs from the YouTube channel. Each combat action dynamically changes the electronic soundtrack, making each run musically unique.
One of the standout features of "Look Mum No Computer" is the interactive soundtrack. Player movements, shots, and modules all contribute to the evolving soundtrack, creating a unique audio-visual experience in every playthrough.
The game world is filled with bizarre creatures, including acid-spewing capacitors and undead broccoli. Players must balance equipment slots and energy between modules to power both their arsenal and music in the game.
"Look Mum No Computer" is compatible with PC, Mac, or Linux systems and is priced at £11.99. To celebrate its release, there is a 20% discount until 7 August.
This game is perfect for fans of retro games, electronic music, or the DIY spirit of "Look Mum No Computer." With its quirky pixel-art universe and synth-powered action, "Look Mum No Computer" is a must-play for anyone looking for a fresh take on the twin-stick shooter genre.
