Because music unites us
Because music unites us
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.
Tap on either side of screen to lower the raised blue tiles.
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 tap with both hands 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 :)
Dear Granny: I have drawn a rainbow drawing for your hospital room. I want to give you a great big hug and to making cookies and playing cards together. I love you very much and to infinity!
I gaze at you every sunset. You look at me and greet me. I gape at you with a racing heart and not knowing what to do. But today is the day. I want to talk to you, I want to meet you. I want to kiss you.
Every day is the same. The nights, endless. I am alone. I need a partner so bad. Someone who loves me. Someone who accepts me as I am.
We are so close, and at the same time so far, among people and dances. My heart beats uncontrollably with the touch of your hand. What wouldn't I give to dance with you? My fortune, my titles, and my prestige. I would give everything!
Once upon a time, in Barcelona, two unconventional girls. One composed and programmed, the other one wrote and ... more things. One wanted to make a game, the other one was game for anything. Cool! Guaranteed adventure!
Gray days at the toy store. The layers of dust on the brass skin are countless. The glory times are over. No one reads his comics anymore. No one thinks about him anymore... Nobody?
Kepler-1949 system, Third Planet. The receiver picks up a signal. Something small and almost imperceptible in the middle of the static. A weak distress call in strange code.
The fury of the Four Elements has been unleashed. I have to find her. I will slide on icy streams. I will overcome the violence of the rapids. I will navigate rivers of lava. My feet will tread the rock of the caves and the sand of the desert.
The whole world acclaims me. I am the goddess of the stage! But your furtives eyes, behind the broom, intimidate me. Your sighs deconcentrate me. I don't understand what's wrong with me. Am I perhaps in love?
Night chases, dark alleyways and museums, vaults and jewelry. I love your enigmatic smile. Your unexpected strategies drive me crazy. But the best comes later...
To lower the raised blue tiles just tap on the left or right side of the screen.
It's not a pay to win game. You can complete the game with no ads and no in-app purchases. You can see an ad or use gems just in case you want to recharge lives faster or try locked levels. Gems are obtained through achievements or stars at the end of each level, and you can also buy them.

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, a black classical dancing woman, two funny lesbians: a detective and a thief...
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 but with two hands coordination. Each hand plays a different instrument, or one hand the melody and the other one the accompaniment.
As the developer is also a music composer, music in the game is tailor-made, combining adaptations of public domain songs and original music.
