Story & Gameplay
Cherie, the new keyboardist for the The Sunnycats, is on a world tour with her bandmates Thunder and Coltrane, who play the bass and sax, respectively. Having just recently started playing, Cherie is desperately trying to keep up with her extremely talented colleagues during their performances. The gameplay, which simply consists in pressing the notes on screen, reflects her being an overwhelmed amateur with an ever-increasing number of randomised chords to press.

Art & Animation
The game displays a minimalist yet colourful vector art look. For each one of the five cities that the band perform in, there are different background elements and colours. All animations for the characters, instruments, notes, and clouds are in tune with the looping bass and sax tracks.

Sound & Music
Each destination also has its own distinct sound, as there are five different sax tracks. The bassline stays the same throughout the game, but the keyboard note sequence is random for every iteration. All tracks were produced by myself in GarageBand. Since music is the main aspect of the game, only a handful of sounds were added.

Developed for the course Critical Making, from the Master of Arts (MA) in Game Design at Uppsala Universitet - Campus Gotland. The given challenge was to "create a game for someone you don't know yet (or know very little) based off a short conversation". My proposal aimed to combine my partner's passion for music, travelling, and cats.
