Scratchin Melodii

Scratchin Melodii is a music adventure game where players embark on a journey to repay debts incurred from community service. Offering levels of varying difficulty, players must play in sync with the rhythm of the song by pressing different buttons such as A, B, X, and Y to achieve high scores and rewards. The game supports gamepad controls, allowing players to customize the button layout for a more comfortable experience. The game is currently under development and will be updated with more fun levels and music, bringing players even more enjoyment and fresh gameplay.

Gameplay of Scratchin Melodii:

All of the gameplay happens on the Rhythm Tracks.

When the line is blue, you'll see your opponent's icon start moving as they lay down a beat. After they're done, it's your turn to respond to that beat using the available buttons shown on the Rhythm Track. The start of your turn will be indicated by a controller rumble and Melodii's icon beginning to move,

When the line is pink, Melodii will have their own unique set of available buttons to press. The start of your turn will be indicated by a controller rumble and Melodii's icon beginning to move.

At the start of each turn, only Rhythm Tracks being used for that line will light up.

For example, this is a Double Line, so both the top and bottom tracks are lit up. Double Lines use both Rhythm Tracks and are played from top to bottom.

Rhythm - This will increase every time you gain points from being on-beat with the song. To stay on-beat, line up your button presses with the beat dots and stars on the Rhythm Tracks.

Expression - This will increase every time you gain points from remixing the suggested line using the available buttons.

Obedience - This will increase every time you gain points from following the exact button order and timing of the suggested line.

Expression is much more valuable to your score than obedience, so really try to mix things up when you can! Have fun!

FAQs of Scratchin Melodii:

Q: How many acts will the game's story mode have?

A: Currently, the plan is for there to be 4 acts with the 4th one being slightly longer than the rest. Earlier in development, I mentioned wanting to do 5, but by this point I think the story would be best wrapped up in just 4.

Q: Will there be multiplayer?

A: I won't go as far as to guarantee it right now, but it's definitely something I want to include! I've been coding everything with the possibility of adding it at some point later in mind. For now, I'll be focusing on singleplayer first.

Q: Will Lucid Mode for Grease Poppin' look the same as it did in the beta?

A: Nope! It'll probably look a lot different, I'm no longer satisfied with the 3d models in that version and I feel I can do a lot more with the scenario for it in general.

Q: Why isn't the beta demo on Steam?

A: This is mostly because I don't think it's a good enough representation of what to expect from the full game, especially with things like story mode and the scoring system. The rest of the game's testing will be done in private now, so it's just something for people interested enough in what that earlier state in the game's development was like.

Q: Will there be any merch for the game?

A: All I can say right now is that any merch will probably be around or after the date of the game's release.
