Music has a way of softening the mood or exciting the human with grandiose compositions. But do we really know all its subtleties? Musicians, those virtuosos, have to consider several aspects to perform a piece. Meludiais a game that taps into the musical sensibilities of Internet users.
After a free registration, the new member begins his journey in beginner mode. He or she will then click on a "constellation" of empty colored circles. These represent five thematic paths consisting of five exercises. In each of these paths, a musical notion is addressed. This can be rhythm, patterns, stability of notes, spatialization, arpeggios, etc. The principle is relatively the same each time. The player has to listen to a note or a score and answer quickly in relation to the subject. For example, how many notes does he hear played at the same time on a piano chord or is the sound lower or higher than the reference one?
The goal is to choose correctly as quickly as possible to raise the progress bar and get more experience points at the end of each game. There are also little hearts under the progress bar. Each wrong answer makes you lose one or more of them. When there are no more hearts, you have to start the exercise from scratch. The experience points turn into levels that allow you to unlock other more difficult constellations.
As a result, the difficulty is well dosed since you start with simple concepts and gradually the whole thing becomes more complex. There are in fact 4 levels of difficulty: beginner, intermediate, advanced and the webmasters are working on the future development of the expert mode.
To earn experience points, it is also possible to replay exercises. A principle close to the role-playing game that works. The visual realization is simple, but effective with its very colorful aspects. However, it is better to play with a headset to hear the music well. Also, the free account does not give access to all 800 exercises. For that, you will have to pay an annual fee of 39 euros. In addition, it is possible to unlock constellations for 1.39 euros.
But the basic subscription still gives the right to a large percentage of them, which makes it a nice platform to introduce a person to the musical subtleties.
