Harmonix released a new mobile game for the iPod called Phase, a follow up to earlier produced mobile games like Amplitude and Frequency.
Phase is a music game in a style we have seen in many other games. Dots fall from the top of the screen in three rows which represent the left middle and right buttons on the clickwheel. The players have to press the buttons in time to clear them. Players are rewarded when keeping up in tempo. Players can choose between in-game music, but also tracks selected by themelves.
"Our goal with Phase was to create a fundamentally accessible, casual music experience for iPod users where we implemented our years of work with rhythmic gameplay elements and present them in ways that any music fan can easily understand and have fun with," says Kasson Crooker, Lead Producer on Phase for Harmonix. "We wanted to create something that took users beyond the standard game format, tap into the unique design of the iPod, and give players a fresh, new way to deepen their relationship with their own music – the music they love."
