Minigame Competition #41, Get your groove on~

What a great theme MCG40 had, and it produced some really cool games! I suggest checking them out! Good work, guys :cool:

Now onto #41, the theme is

Music

Pick some music, any music. Create a level/game/whatever based on the theme that the music conveys.

You have until the end of November.

Good luck, all!

Oh hey, how convenient, since I just got a good music game method working in MMF2 that uses the song's BPM.

Totally entering this!

Cool idea, I'm in.

Um, wouldn't it be illegal to put copyrighted music into a game?
I mean, fangames are illegal themselves but I feel like this is pushing it.

Can we make the music ourselves?

Fangames aren't illegal unless you're selling them for profit, or of course if Nintendo steps in themselves and demands for you to stop, as it is their intellectual properties that you are using. Nintendo is well aware of MFGG though, and they don't really mind. Using official music would be a concern, but that's honestly only if the authors of the music you had used find their way to it, or if the RIAA gets the heads up about it. There are plenty of sites that have music that are not bound down by any regulations so you can freely use them.

I'd had some great idea (and sprites) but I can't program.
If anybody would like to team up with me, please pm me!

You don't have to if you don't want to.

Sure!

I'm a decent programmer. I would love to help out.

I'll help you, funky, I am short of ideas.

awww yeah, cool theme, i made a ddr styled game for the last music comp, but im glad its getting ruled out in this one.

Wait, so can you use only one song?

Mine will only last like 3 something minutes in order to fit with the song.

Thats cool right?

wait, NO rhythm-based games?


damn

I'll be doing this idea (in case anyone else plans to make such a thing):
Basically, you control something (that, I haven't decided), and it's environment changes as you find different musical notes. When you touch musical notes, the stage will take on a different appearance, the music will change along with it, and even the enemies will change to suite the music, also hving different attack patterns and skills.

This idea is only applicable if the music count can exceed one, so can it?

Soiyeruda, that's a pretty common musical gameplay, so you can't really put "dips" on it.

I CALL SAFETY DANCE!!!!!

"dibs"

Anyways, you sure? The topic says "Find music, make a game that suits the music". Basically, that could imply that any game can be made with this topic. There's infinite other possibilities than my idea. They could make a bunch of levels, each with its own theme. They could make some Mortal Combat game where an endless hoarde of tough enemies surround Mario. Get some Britney Speares music and have Peach seduce her way through monsters. When the music abruptly ends, everything suddenly gets easier. Whatever the case, there's more ideas than mine.
