RYTMOS (music puzzler) to offer an interstellar odyssey of melodic exploration and composition to Switch owners this February

Floppy Club, indie developers from Copenhagen, have just announced that they’re bringing RYTMOS to the Nintendo Switch. This musical puzzle game will launch on February 28th in Europe and North America.

Here’s a trailer for the game:

RYTMOS is a musical puzzle game with an interesting twist: not only does it offers various music-themed puzzles to solve, it also gives players the opportunity to create their own melodies using a catalogue of unlockable instruments and modifiers. The gameplay is described as low-tempo and relaxing. With this game, the developers hope to inspire and motivate players to listen to new music and genres.

Here’s some details, the list of key features, and some screenshots for the game:

A music game like no other, Rytmos orchestrates a distinct blend of music-themed puzzles to solve alongside the opportunity for players to create their own melodies utilising a catalogue of unlockable instruments and modifiers.

Set in space, every planet players travel to presents a set of six line puzzles to solve. Each of these puzzles requires players to pass through sound emitters before then returning to the start point in order to form a musical loop. As each loop is made, more layers are added to the game’s evolving soundscape, forming musical compositions in real-time that are based on the player’s actions. Progress through each cubic cosmos rewards players with the chance to become musicians themselves. Instruments such as the Kalimba, Vibraphone and even classic 1980s synthesisers can be used to not only jam along with the in-game soundtracks but also make brand new melodies. By completion, Rytmos evolves into not just a simple puzzle game but a fully functional music maker with the capability to make complex musical tracks.

Floppy Club has developed Rytmos in celebration of world music and to educate and inspire people on the history of music and give a better understanding of its creation. As such, Rytmos takes musical inspiration from an eclectic and wholly global mix of sources. Across their adventure through the stars, players will encounter a collection of distinct solar systems that takes inspiration from genres ranging from 1960s Ethiopian Jazz, Germany’s famous electronic music scene of the 1970s, the 8-bit music wave of the 1980s, and much more. With a focus on low-tempo relaxing gameplay, Rytmos offers a meditative experience that aims to inspire and motivate players to listen to new music and genres.
