Touch the Music 1.0 is Ready for Sale + Promo Codes

[terry2010]

Touch the Music, a daring experiment from Powerise Interactive, is a game based around the simplest of simple mechanics: collecting the colorful shapes that appear then the music plays!

The task in Touch the Music is very simple: use your finger to grabbing the shapes that pour forth from a rotating white line. Green/blue shapes are worth points. Yellow shapes increase your point multiplier and make your orb grow larger ("Yellow shapes are good!" the game yelps at you during the nearly unnecessary prologue). Red shapes cut your multiplier in half ("Red shapes are bad!") and shrink you back down. Purple shapes are the Holy Grail—they temporarily grant you a vortex that sucks in all the good shapes and gives your score a massive injection. Your goal is to pull down the highest point total you can within the game's four-minute life span.

**********

The gameplay is like listening to music. Having to avoid the red shape ambushes is a bit of a stretch, maybe, but the rest of the metaphor is fine. Really great music forces you pay attention, to follow the thread of mood, to surf. If you move through the music skillfully, you gradually swell up—with emotion in real life, with mass in the game—even more so if you can anticipate where the composition is going next. Perhaps the red shapes represent a loss of concentration, the way you can lose your grip on a song and work to re-attach yourself.

HMALNM7JHTT9 used. I will not be able to test it out until later, but I can say that I really like the icon art... This game sounds very similar to another one I actually have...

Well..... This is definitely just like another game I've had for awhile. I like it, but the songs that slow at the end just kill me. That's just me. It would be perfect for people that enjoy relaxing that way.


There are some typos that are very noticeable:

On the Instruction screens, the touchable text says [Skip Instructins]
(Should be 'instructions')

the word 'Ean' (Maybe 'Earn')

and the points display on the bottom is labeled 'Poins'

(Should be 'Points')

I am not a grammar/spelling professional...


Just like the other game I've had for weeks (if not months now), I enjoy the dynamics, and I like the music, I just sometimes get impatient with the game when the song slows down at the end, and just won't end. This is not a ding. I'm just more into games with a faster pace. I would sometimes just let the game play unattended just to hear the music. Just make sure to describe the type of music, etc. to ensure that your customers know what they're expecting.
