Eight minutes of Maestro! Jump in Music.

The title, the fact it’s developed by a Parisian studio you’ve likely never heard of (Pastagames), and the video’s first 20 seconds all point to this being a cheap, terrible game, but if you stick with it, you’ll see it’s amazing. Around the 1:20 mark, you’ll wonder where this music-based platformer has been all your life. It’s been in France, apparently.

Maestro will feature six different worlds and 18 music tracks, including classic songs like Beethoven’s 5th Symphony as well as contemporary tunes such as”Our House” (Not sure if this is the Madness or Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young version) and The Jackson 5’s “ABC”.

Publisher Neko Entertainment plans to release the game some time this Autumn. Here’s another video of Maestro, which shows off the only awesome underwater area that has ever existed (an exaggeration, of course).
