Maestro! Green Groove

Maestro! Green Groove

For those of you who know the DS version of Maestro!, « Green Groove » is the first world you have played. It is a world of chlorophyll, spiders and fruit, in which classical music is Bollywoodized by the delightful Yubaba, Smith & Fortune.

In the iPod/iPhone version, the 3 melodies you will find and enjoy are:

  • the 5th Symphony from Beethoven,
  • the New World Symphony from Dvorak
  • and a new unreleased music special for the Green Groove Edition: a Nocturne of Chopin that has been distorted into a great chip tune indi version.

In the Green Groove Version, you will go through 3 different parts of the jungle, with various graphics and increasingly difficult levels that add up to a total of 9 levels and their tutorials. Staccato has called in sick on iPhone, but he told me he’ll be back soon.maestro_1

If you plug in your headset/mic on your iPhone, you will be able to sing out to help Presto top the required B+ grade. The Voxler technology will help recognize your singing, humming and whistling and give you points for the good parts. No worries if you sing like a frog, you won’t be penalized ;)

The Level Design has been entirely adapted for a Finger gameplay, thus changing the challenge we propose and creating a new player experience. We’d love to know your impressions ;)

maestro_2Maestro! Green Groove iPhone/iPod Touch will be sold for 0,79€ or 0,99$ from march 6 2010 on.

This version’s publisher is Bulkypix, and we expect the very best from this new partnership we have started with them. Pastagames is not intending to become a video game publisher, we are a game studio and it takes more time than we have already! Neko is our privileged partner for consoles and handheld consoles and we wish to create the same trust and relation with Bulkypix on Smartphone devices.

That’s our first steps in the dematerialized distribution and we are more than happy about it :D

Edit(03/08/2010):

Maestro! Green Groove is now available, and you can buy it here!

P.S. we will post here a few reviews of the iPhone iPod version:

Here are a few images of Maestro! as it was back in January 2009… a loooong time ago :)

Everything has changed since then… the game’s name, the turntable, the lignting on the strings, and all the rest… but the main gameplay is still the same!
