Vib-Ribbon
Moving on we have a quirky PS1 title from NanaOn-Sha called Vib-Ribbon. Playing as the cute white vector line rabbit called Vibri, you have to guide her across a 2D line littered with 4 types of obstacles. To make things harder these obstacles can sometimes merge together to make things harder and if Vibri takes too many hits she’ll turn into a frog and then a worm. On the other hand, play well enough and Vibri will turn into an angel.
So far pretty standard fare, right? But, what makes Vib-Ribbon stand out is the fact that these obstacles correspond to the beat of the games music. The reason for this is because since Vib-Ribbon makes its obstacles based on the music, you can switch the CD in your PS1 to create new levels. This means that Vib-Ribbon has almost an unlimited amount of replay-ability. Something tells me this won’t be the last time I’ll be writing about NanaOn-Sha.
It might surprise you to learn that Vib-Ribbon received two Japanese exclusive games called Mojib-Ribbon which was based on rap music and Vib-Ripple.
