I beat ELDEN RING with a SAXOPHONE WITHOUT GETTING HIT (+ All Great Rune Bosses) Dr. Doot 2024-06-03 | FULL RUN VOD: youtu.be/xS1-fLIut-8WATCH LIVE ON TWITCH: twitch.tv/DrDootI beat Elden Ring from beginning to end including all seven Great Rune Bosses without taking a single hit... while using a Roland Aerophone AE-10 (an electric saxophone) as a game controller.

SKATE STORY Controls So Well That You Can Play It With A SAXOPHONE Dr. Doot 2025-12-08 | I got to play through all of SKATE STORY, the new skateboard combat-based platformer from Sam Ang, featuring the music of Blood Cultures. According to Sam, it's "a game about a demon made of glass who needs to skate the Underworld and consume The Moon to fulfill the devil’s contract."The game has a very cool skateboard trick system that is incredibly intuitive and fun to improvise with. It even controls so well that not only can you play with a saxophone, you can even play along with the soundtrack and pull off moves.This video shows a segment from Chapter 3 of the game, featuring the song "When The Night Calls..." by Blood CulturesA massive thank you to Devolver Digital for gifting me a review copy of the game to play! twitch.tv/DrDootskatestory.comCHAPTERS0:00 Intro0:52 How the Sax Works As A Controller1:49 CHAPTER 3 - "When The Night Calls..." by Blood Cultures
