Encounters is a crossroads of stories with a common bond. Loneliness, love, frustration, family ... we all go through complicated situations, sad stages and bad times ... but we believe that music can change them and rewrite a new ending ... can you help us?
Find the rhythm that paves the way for our protagonists so that the illusion they have dreamed of so much can become a reality!
Encounters has been created with great care by Raquel (idea, music, development, and design) and Pilar (stories).
Encounters is a new concept of casual music rhythm game. You must pave the way so the characters can advance and arrive to the final encounter platform.
Each character plays a part of the song. Perhaps they play different instruments, or perhaps one plays the melody and the other the accompaniment. You can train each character separately but to win a level you must coordinate both hands (or play with a friend).
For mobile or switch in touch mode, just tap on either side of screen to lower the raised blue tiles. On switch you can also swing the left or right Joy-Con downwards, or use the L or R buttons.
The path has some visual clues. The dots mark the first beat of each measure. If you keep the rhythm with your foot, the kick will coincide with those points.
And if you play in easy mode you will see in yellow the tiles that match raised on both sides, so lower the tiles of both sides at the same time!
When you learn a song you should be able to play even with your eyes closed. In fact, we recommend trust your hearing more than your sight. If you keep up the pace but fail frequently, you can adjust the synchronization.
Encounters are the stories of its characters, their illusions and their desires, the stories of those who want to meet and be happy with their loved ones. Today more than ever, meeting has become the illusion of millions of people... and we can't think of a better way than music to make those dreams come true! Do you want to know how these stories end? You will have to play and achieve the characters to meet :)
To lower the raised blue tiles on mobile or switch in touch mode, just tap on either side of screen to lower the raised blue tiles. On switch you can also swing the left or right JoyCon downwards, or use the L/R buttons.

The original game experience
To unlock this mode you must get 3 stars in normal mode and learned the song, since the path will be dark.
This game is full of characters underrepresented in games: a love story between an Asian girl and a Mexican boy with a physical disability, tech women that made a game (like us!), an alien female saving a black astronaut, a stray dog, a little boy who likes to bake cookies with his grandmother, a little girl who loves robots and comics, two funny gay couples, a black classical dancing woman...
Besides the characters and the lovely level stories, uncommon on casual music games, we have not found any music or rhythm game with similar mechanics, just tapping or swinging the Joy-Con downwards but with two hands coordination. Each hand plays a different instrument, or one hand the melody and the other one the accompaniment. Is it too difficult for you? Give a Joy-Con to a friend and focus on a single character.
As the developer is also a music composer, music in the game is tailor-made, combining adaptations of public domain songs and original music.
