REVIEW – “A creative twist on music games!”
Since the introduction of “Guitar Hero” there have been countless music games created for all kinds of platforms. The iPhone OS platform is no exception. While many of these games have a very similar interface, Likwid has gone out on a limb in an attempt to create a new kind of music game!
When I opened this app up I noticed right away that the graphics and sound were very high quality. With that said the music does get a little bit repetitive after a while, but you can purchase several add-on packs that add both more music and levels to the game!
To get started all you have to do is touch the “play” button in the bottom left corner.
When you start a game for the first time it will take you through a brief tutorial so you kind of know what’s going on. I didn’t really find the tutorial all that helpful, but the game is so easy to get the hang of that you can pretty much just skip through it and you’ll be fine. The basic gameplay consists of you using different kinds of adjustable “orbs” to control the direction of rays of light.
The basic idea is that on each level you will have a certain amount of
“targets” that you have to get the right color of light to. As you get the correct light going to a target the instrument and/or voice associated with that target starts playing. Once you are able to solve the puzzle you are rewarded with getting to hear a section of the song played.
This is really one of those games that you kind of have to see in order to really understand how everything works. The awesome thing is that the first few levels are included for free! If you do end up really liking it though there is all kinds of paid content that you can add from artists like Smashmouth, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Lynard Skynyrd!
Whether you’re a big music buff or not, this app offers an extremely engaging puzzle aspect to it that makes it fun for anyone! Especially if you’ve been looking for a free app to kill some time I’d encourage you to check this one out. It doesn’t have a ton of levels, but the levels this game does have are engaging and creative. If you’re still reading this now I’m not sure what else you’re waiting for me to say. Go ahead try it today!
