Submission to HEJ 2024 Február. Theme: "On the beat" Ext.: "one/two button input only"


Divergica's Magical Mushroom Melodies is an enchanting rhythm game designed for kids that combines music and a touch of whimsical art. Players embark on a journey with Divergica, a mischievous fairy whose job is to bring color and rhythm to the mushroom grove. However, Divergica has a penchant for deviating from the magical beat, adding some unexpected but delightful extra color to the sweet melodies!

Gameplay:

  • Players join Divergica in her quest to color mushrooms by tapping along the rhythm.
  • Each level presents more and more mushrooms to color and a catchy melody to follow.
  • First, the mushrooms appear accompanied by playful musical notes following a specific rhythm. Then comes the players' turn, in which they need to repeat what they heard.
  • But beware! Divergica loves to add twists and turns, so players must stay on their toes and adapt to her playful deviations. They need to look for black or striped mushrooms and skip or paint them twice when the enchanted brush reaches them.
  • If the players miss more than three mushrooms, they have to repeat the level.
  • Successfully coloring the mushrooms on the rhythm earns gold and unlocks new levels.

Hints:

Press this button or Space or Enter when the brush lands on a mushroom to paint it. The closer to the beat you are, the more gold you get.
The best type of mushroom, easy to paint, no tricks, no tears.
Divergica hates black mushrooms as they can't be painted properly, so either you skip them or you have to accept the punishment.

Striped ones are the most fun, at least for Divergica. They can have two different colors, so she won't settle for one that's for sure.  Which means you need to paint them twice in rapid succession. At least, in return, you'll get double the gold.

Features:

  1. Whimsical Graphics: Vibrant and colorful visuals bring the magical mushroom grove to life.
  2. Dynamic Soundtrack: Catchy tunes with rhythmic variations keep players engaged and tapping along with Divergica's beat.
  3. Educational Elements: Encourage rhythm recognition and coordination skills in a fun and interactive way, suitable for children of all ages.
