LaserLife is a short but engaging journey of light, sound, and memory

If intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe — something looking more likely, given the recent NASA announcement of water on Mars — what would they think of humanity and the human experience, if and when they were to encounter Homo sapiens? That’s the premise of LaserLife, a new PC and PS4 downloadable game (version reviewed) from Choice Provisions, previously known as Gaijin Games.

This team has made some superb rhythm-action games in the past, such as the critically acclaimed Bit.Trip series. LaserLife aims to take such concepts a bit higher, mulling over sound and imagery as it relates to human existence — much in the same vein as genre classics like Rez.
