Songbird Symphony's new trailer showcases more of the musical platformer's environments

pQube have released a new trailer for developer Joysteak's musical platformer Songbird Symphony. The trailer is a great look at the variety of levels, but also underlines the role that other characters play in the levels.

Songbird Symphony, for those unfamiliar, is a puzzle platformer with musical elements running throughout. Levels feature other insects and animals which need helping out, as well as rhythm puzzles, each one adding to the music of the level. The biggest stand-out for the game however is the showdown/boss-fights which are large song sequences, each unique, which challenge you to face off against creatures. These are wonderfully executed songs, and the entire sequence is animated beautifully.

I've had a soft spot for Songbird Symphony since first discovering it in the middle of last year. There's an alpha demo rattling around for PC which includes a good fifteen minutes of gameplay and a few song battles which can be started from the menu. If you've got a PC and are curious, it's well worth a look.

Here's the current features list for the game:
