"We'll say it once and we'll say it again: More music videos should also be video games. Example: \"Cryosphere,\" a new video/game from New York-based synth pop band Konnichiwa.\n\"Cryosphere\" (click the title to access the download page) is a relatively simple game that lets you navigate through a colorful, geometric plane as the statue of David encased in a spinning rectangle. The song \u2014 a soaring, spinny jam reminiscent of a slightly more shrill, tinny (in a good way) Phantogram \u2014 carries you through the landscape.\nThe game was designed by one half of Konnichiwa, D.V. Caputo, who also produces the tracks on the band's debut album, Visions [iTunes link]. \"Making a computer game still makes for a more immersive experience for more people by default than even the most extensive augmented reality iPad app,\" say Caputo, who studied design and technology at Parsons in New York. \"It feels more like a special package than something downloadable from the app store.\"\nThe game really has no objective. It's more about exploring a world created by imagery that the song evokes. \"I designed 'Cryosphere' to be somewhat synaesthetic, in which the visuals correspond to different parts of the song,\" Captuo explains. \"The 'objective' is really to stay on the path and take in the sights.\"\nIf \"Cryosphere\" seems at all familiar, you've probably messed around with computer games like Myst at some point in your life. The musician was inspired by such vintage games and multimedia programs when creating this offering. Personally, the game evokes hypertext projects like Fibonacci's Daughter but with much better music.\nGive \"Cryosphere\" a spin and let us know what you think. Is it better than your average music video?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
