Akihabara Feel The Rhythm Releases
January 26, in the year of our Lord 2017 --
Take a musical journey with Callie through Tokyo’s Akihabara
district -- and groove to the beats to achieve a high score in
this original music/rhythm game.
The rules are simple: Time your actions to the rhythm and the
Beat Marker as you change icons while jamming to the
electro-infused soundtrack before they fill up the grid. Cycle
through icons by tapping on your screen (or by pressing the up
key or left clicking, depending on your device) as the Beat
Marker passes over them on the grid to create matches of three
or more. To earn a “Good” or “Perfect” score multiplier bonus,
sync your actions to the beat by changing icons **right as the
Beat Maker passes over a grid line!**
You can activate the special “Super Icon” by chaining together
multiple “Good” and “Perfect” ratings to fill your Super Charge
meter. Once triggered, the Super Icon will destroy everything in
a 3x3 grid wherever it lands. Want an even bigger challenge? Try
increasing the difficulty settings to see if you can move to
Akihabara’s rhythm. Harder difficulty settings increase the
minimum amount of icons required to trigger a match:
* Easy = 3 icons
* Normal = 4 icons
* Hard = 5 icons
Experience 10 levels of high tempo music in Campaign mode -- or
enjoy individual levels unlocked during your campaign in Single
Track mode. Once you complete the campaign, a special bonus
“Midnight Mix” mode will be unlocked with 5 mellow track
remixes. Show everyone you’re the ultimate beat master by
earning 15 different achievements -- and rake in enough points
to grab a spot on the cross-platform online leaderboards.
DEVELOPER QUOTE
Mårten Jonsson (founder, JMJ Interactive):
“Akihabara: Feel the Rhythm is a product of my deep infatuation
with the Akihabara district in Tokyo. Similar to Akihabara’s
awesome nightlife, the game offers players intriguing visuals,
bass-heavy EDM, and all the flair and style found in this
fascinating place. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s high
scores in the online leaderboards!”
