Dub Wars: Break It Up OUYA remix

I did it again.  I took the Break It Up stage of the game, Dub Wars and created this video remix.  To those not familiar with the OUYA and its game, Dub Wars is a video game title on the OUYA.  The ships weaponry is generated by the dubstep music so it presents new dynamics to the typical arcade shooter.   I enjoy listening to Dubstep music so playing around with the video and music are a must for me.

Dub Wars Video Remix: I’m in Heaven

I was excited to see the update on Dub Wars, the dubstep-inspired arcade game for the OUYA.  Version 1.7 did not disappoint and inspired me to create a video remix.  I was able to combine my interest in music, iOS, video editing and video games in one fell swoop.  How often can one do that?  The video effects and transition were being applied on-the-fly thanks to the Vjay iOS app.  I think I taxed the software a little because I noticed some jumps and glitches in the music and video.  It was fun to make so I decided to share it.

Dub Wars: Robotron meets Dubstep on OUYA

If you have the good luck of being an arcade rat in the 80’s, you’d know what craziness Robotron delivered to the arcade scene.  Now, imagine how you can destroy enemy robots with electronic music.  That’s the idea behind Dub Wars and I like it.  The weapons are automatically generated and activated by the instruments in the beat.  All you have to do is anticipate, aim and dodge anything and everything coming at you.  The concept is “out there” but this is what I hope and expect from OUYA developers.  I managed to capture a quick video while playing.
