Minigame Competition #41, Get your groove on~

I've done it before and people have acknowledged it. Since I started doing Minigame Competitions, I've usually done that, and no one has bugged me about it. People have said "Aaawww! I wanted that idea" but they learn to find a new one. In any case, this silly gameplay idea has an 80% chance to become a game. It's the same thing with drawing competitions. I put dibs on a drawing I want to do to ensure I get my idea, and not appear like I'm stealing someone else's idea.

cool idea!

might take a stab at it.

Sticky please

oh boy, this is going to take some creativity

Safety dance wont work so I'm going to use super tramp dont worry in the credits i will use the correct credit to super tramp.(if I do that I can use there songs right?)

Oh well F this then. What is a music game without any rhythm behind the gameplay? You're basically asking for any type of game now BESIDES music games, despite the title.

im pretty sure he just means press-button-when-image-falls-into-slot games like DDR/GuitarHero

I have an idea for this. Anyone can use it if they want.
Some sacred song that is used to do something has to be played to do something (it would also be the background music). Unfortunatly, several of the sacred notes have been scattered along, so it would be missing whatever note that it was (be it A, B, C#, D, or whatever). At the end of a level (or world or something), there would be a labeled musical note. When you touched the note, that note would be used in the background music of the game. You would continue gathering the notes, until the song is completed. Then you would decide what happens.

It's only illegal if you get caught

I sense some Rick Astley. (But I'm not doing it.)

Nope, this is what he means.

Someone enter a Rick-Roll in this Competition. I dare you. >:)

Wow...Odd theme here...

Oni, I may, or may not.

I'm short on ideas...

If the theme is music, why can't music be a part of gameplay then?

I'm making a simple platformer based on Brawl's version of Dr. Mario's Chill theme, and whenever the music changes styles the stage background and enemies will, too.

Because that only makes sense.

Here's what the theme is I think:

The Music is REQUIRED to fit the environment you play it, and you can't just have a "click the button when it enters the hitbox" gameplay. However, aside from those setbacks, you have freedom everywhere else. You can still incorporate the music into your gameplay, its just that you need to be a bit more creative with it. DDR/Guitar Hero type games get somewhat repetitive and I'd barely call pressing-buttons-on-the-hitbox gameplay.

Just forget the whole DDR thing. The point is that your music fits the environment, which gives you much freedom to do whatever.

Essentially, your game must have music. Gameplay cannot focus around the music, it can't be rhythmic or anything, your game just happens to have music.

I think he wants you to set the mood with music.

So essentially yes, have a game with music. A mood can be set no matter what you do really, so there's no limitations with this one besides not sticking to rhythmic gameplay at all, and that your game must include music.

Gameplay can be anything music, just not something too equal to Guitar Hero or DDR.

Get over it.
