Yesterday I had dinner with my girlfriend at (shooby dooby doo, down to) Ruby’s inside a local mall. But before she met me there, I waited for her at the mall’s Arcade, Tilt. Right as I walked in, I was greeted by an interesting DDR/Beatmania-ish looking arcade cabinet.

Upon further inspection, I knew this was a game that anyone would instantly enjoy. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? A multi-touch screen rhythm game. Now, hear me out. Imagine Elite Beat Agents, on crack.

Instead of using a stylus on a Nintendo DS, you are using your fingers to play. Also, just like Elite Beat Agents or Tap Tap Revolution, the object of the game is to stay on beat when hitting the “notes” across the screen.

A vertical bar goes across the top half or bottom half of the screen. Once the bar get to one of the “notes”, you tap it. Thats it. But there are different types of notes. For more info, photos and videos, go past the break.

> regular single tap notes

> notes that you must drag your finger along the given path

> notes that you must tap mutiple times

Now, if that wasn’t hard enough, don’t forget, it’s MULTI-TOUCH. So there will be times where one hand has to do one thing, while the other does something else. This is a great use of multi-touch technology and I can’t wait to play again.
