Big Grams, the new collaborative project between rapper Big Boi and electronic rockers Phantogram, released a video game that coincided with their debut self-titled EP launch. Both the recording and the video game are available, today, September 25th, 2015.
The name of the video game is Supergrams, and it “lets the user play as Big Boi, Josh Carter, or Sarah Barthel to conquer the landscape by using the seven deadly sins,” according to Paste Magazine.
The seven deadly sins are depicted in Supergrams with icons that the user can collect through various movements, such as jumping or ducking, and each sin has the power to bring forth a change. For example, “Lust attracts coins, pride gives you an extra ten seconds of life, sloth (represented by a tiny bong) slows you down and gluttony makes you bigger,” according to Paste Magazine.
In order to have the optimal video game experience, Supergrams instructs users to stream the self-titled album on Spotify, the popular streaming music service.
