Description
Draw shapes to make music!
Cadence is a musical playground combining two loves: puzzle gaming and sound creation.
Focused around a strong creative core, players build and join musical nodes in a connect-the-dots fashion to make their own compositions. Simple melodies are available after just a few clicks, while experts can dive much deeper.
Unique to Cadence is the way it marries music with gameplay, and all of your songs are built up as puzzles, using rulesets familiar to gamers to help them along and get even the most musically uninitiated individuals making songs before they know it!
History
Cadence was born as a Ludum Dare game jam entry in April 2013, and continued to develop based on the positive feedback it received. After some years of on-off development, full-time funding, a Kickstarter campaign, our very own Noodlestarter campaign, and two months holed up in a Swedish wilderness cottage, the game is finally ready for Early Access and a broader audience of music lovers.
Cadence has earned recognition at festivals like A MAZE, EGX Rezzed and SXSW.
