Indie game Rhythm of War is only PSP game at IGF Mobile
Couldn’t get a publisher due to lack of PSP support
Joystiq has been taking a look at the finalists for this year’s prestigious IGF Mobile awards, which has revealed the only PSP title in the line up to be an indie game that couldn’t get a publisher.
Rhythm of War is a beautiful looking music/rhythm game that sees you slip-sliding through different time periods to fend off aliens by hitting the four tracks in time with the music.

The developer is now hoping to find an outlet through the PlayStation Store, and with the extra coverage it’ll get from the IGF Mobile ceremony (whether it wins or not, to be honest) it ought to get the attention it clearly deserves.
