Beat of the Stars
A downloadable game
A young musician, nameless and dreaming of a future where they can become a star musician in their world is sitting in their bedroom, stargazing.
A shooting star appears in the sky they're observing, so they make a wish to become the most famous musician in the world.
As they sigh and go back to looking at the sky, the shooting star gets brighter, and brighter, before the light crashes into the musician's bedroom.
The light fades and the shooting star is revealed to be a 'Beat Sprite'. It tells the player its name, Fitch, and that it needs help restoring harmony to the music world by helping it collect 'Rhythm Gems' and rescuing it's other Beat Sprite friends from various famous musicians that have been misusing them for their own gain.
The player must join forces with Fitch the Beat Sprite to regain all of the gems on a rhythm-based adventure to make the world harmonious once again.
For my graded unit in HND Digital Design and Development, I was tasked to make a game that will be hosted in an arcade cabinet. I've completed this task and the result is here in the form of Beat of the Stars!
It was a fun project to work on, and I fully intend on working on this game more in my spare time to make it something bigger and better!
Here's the control layout. Simply use the arrow keys to navigate menus, the 'confirm' button is primarily what is used for accepting things in menus, and the keys 5,8,9,6, are the buttons you use to play the game and get those notes hit on time!
To play the game, unzip the folder and simply double click the cute icon!
Please have fun playing and if you have the time, I would love it if you could fill in my usability survey it would really help me out.

Enjoy!
