You've played rhythm games, but have you ever really played a music game before?
String's Theory is an innovative music game based on the science of ear training. As a player, your goal is simple: to find the Major, Minor, or Seventh chord hiding in a set of dissonant notes. Listen your way through more than 40 levels of ear-teasing puzzles, all while improving your ability to hear and understand music. Musicians, gamers and audiophiles alike will want to get their headphones ready.
We, the game's developers, are classifying this title as entercation. It's like edutainment, but not boring.
String's Theory will train your ability to....
* Recognize several types of chords by ear
* Differentiate between pitch and timbre
* Discern how chords are outlined in different musical genres
* Parse out which chords underlay a melody
* Learn the foundations of tonal music, and wield them to your own ends
Also, it's pretty fun.
