If, however, the player makes it through a number of obstacles in a row, Vibri will go up a form from Rabbit to a Princess. Failing to make it through an obstacle will cause Vibri to change form from a Rabbit to a Frog and to a Worm, if the player then fails after that its game over. To get through the obstacles the player must press a button in time with the music to get Vibri through the obstacle.
In the game the player controls Vibri a rabbit skipping across a 2D wire for the duration of a song whilst avoiding various obstacles represented as shapes across the wire. Gameplay This is a handy image to keep around when playing! The game was only released in Europe and Japan making it highly sought after for collectors. The game was designed by Masaya Matsuura the creator of PaRappa the Rapper. After design issues surfaced with the car and the ad plan was dropped, development continued as a stand-alone game.Vib-Ribbon is a music game for the Playstation released in 1998. Vib-Ribbon was commissioned as an advertisement for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class car. Difficult levels included advanced obstacles formed by combining two basic obstacles and defeated with two simultaneous buttons. There were four basic obstacles, each of which could be overcome by pressing one of the four usable action buttons on the controller. The main character, a wireframe rabbit named Vibri, traveled along a simple level from the left to the right. Its primitive graphics made it difficult to sell, and the producers decided against bringing it to the Western game market. Vib-Ribbon therefore relied on simple near-monochrome vector graphics. This meant that the entire game, including art, must fit within the PlayStation’s extremely limited memory. The solution was to let the player insert any audio CD and Vib-Ribbon would build the gameplay around any track of music. The music selection was limited by the game’s budget. Unlike PaRappa, Vib-Ribbon included several licensed tracks from the popular group Laugh and Peace. As rhythm games relied increasingly on custom controllers, Vib-Ribbon stuck to NanaOn-Sha’s roots with a console game using a standard controller. NanaOn-Sha followed their PaRappa the Rapper success with Vib-Ribbon.
