This was my second project at Gameloft and one I took great pleasure doing. I never really explored the music genre of videogame and this job made me realise how fun this genre could be.

My main task for this game was to do the level design for the drums, which is pretty much half of the whole gameplay in the game. The challenge was to find note patterns that are not only interesting to the player but that fits with the melody has well. This is especially hard when you only have 3 notes to work with, and while making sure that the FPS (frame per second) stay smooth on all version of the IPhone. I learned during this project that gameplay need to follow a certain pace, and creating interesting patterns is the key. This could be true to other genre as well.
