About this project
Sonicspree for iPad is a fast, fun & competitive music game of matching songs with album art. Just make sure you turn it up loud!
Background: In 2010 Ergonomidesign had the opportunity to develop a game which would showcase Microsoft’s new Surface. The project was internally funded by ourselves and a software developer called Connecta with the aim to create a compelling interactive experience using multi-touch. Together we created a music game called Sonicspree that launched in 2010. The game was very well received and Fast Company magazine listed it as one of the top “killer applications” for Microsoft Surface. It won the Microsoft .NET awards in 2010.
We believe this game has much more potential! Our goal is to take the game over to the ipad to be released to potentially millions of music lovers and gamers.
Idea: The game will be for 1 to 4 players and will access your iTunes music. The idea of the game is to match the music being played and to the album art cards rotating around the screen. The trick is that the cards have to be flipped over first to see the album art – think "memory" but on steroids! Players move a card into the center to reveal the album art so it can be matched to the music. When the correct album art has been exposed, quickly drag it into your area to receive points. Speed is everything, as other players can take the card from you!
Funding: Your money will be used to help 'kickstart' both our company’s to reinvest in redesigning and reprogramming the game. It will be used for some of the costs associated with development, fees, licenses etc. we might need to produce & release the game. We also need feedback from you to know if the game can be made better and to see who much response and interest we get in the game to make sure we release the best game possible.
Music access: Initial release will be on iPad and will use your iTunes account for music and album art. You will be able to create and use iTunes playlists for the games content.
Timing: We expect the first version to hit the Apple app store 2-3 months after completed funding.
Future: Later we hope to expand Sonicspree by creating versions based on movies and TV shows, versions for kids matching sounds and pictures, creating all new bonus levels and the possibility of integrating with Spotify. We may also redevelop for iPhone and Android depending on how successful it is on the iPad. Please let us know your ideas and priorities for development!
Last but not least. A big thank you for your interest and backing support. We really want to make this game a great success and cannot do it without you! More information can be found at sonicspree.net
