Synth Sliders for PlayDate – EARLY ACCESS by Aricus
Do you feel like rocking a bit on your shiny new PlayDate? I present to you Synth Sliderz, my personal take on the Trombone Champ game for our little yellow box of fun. Using the accelerometer, you will tilt the PlayDate to match up the oncoming notes and press A or B to play a note. It’s like Guitar Hero, but with more sliding and a lot less accuracy!
The first release consists of the following songs:
99 Red Balloons
Africa
All-Star
Bad Romance
Beat It
Can You Feel The Love Tonight
Cliffs of Dover
Creep
Every Breath You Take
Final Countdown
Hallelujah
Heathens
He’s A Pirate
Hey Jude
Hotel California
I Walk The Line
In The Valley of the Mountain King
Never Gonna Give You Up
Ring Of Fire
Take Me Home, Country Roads
Under The Sea
Wonderful Tonight
Yesterday
This IS early access, there might be some jankiness etc. I will be adding some features as it goes along such as
- Held Notes (hopefully, but so far PlayDate doesn’t like having all the sprites on the screen)
- More songs
- Maybe more effects on the screen
* Debating letting players change the track to play any of the other tracks in the song - Turning on the crank instead of tilt. Currently this works in the code, but there is a bug with the SDK and the crank can’t move fast enough to hit the notes. PlayDate is working on fixing it and once it is, I’ll add the crank in.
Since you’re buying this through Itch.io, there are two ways you can get it on to your PlayDate.
