The new Note Fighter has been completely redesigned and created from scratch! New songs, much bigger keyboard, new color-based arcade mode and much more!
Note Fighter is a clever, rhythm-based game that actually teaches you how to read sheet music. You control Steamy the robot, who fights off steampunk enemies by tapping notes as they fly across a musical staff. It’s a brilliant way to gamify the learning of piano notes.
The steampunk aesthetic is charming, and the song selection includes some great classical masterpieces. It gets genuinely difficult on the higher settings, requiring you to read ahead just like a real musician would. It’s probably the most fun I've ever had practicing my sight-reading.
Teaches real musical note reading
Iconic classical music soundtrack
Beautiful steampunk-inspired visuals
Three difficulty modes for all levels
Engaging 'boss battles' during songs
Notes move from right to left across the screen. You must tap the corresponding key at the bottom of the screen just as the note reaches the target line. Successive correct notes build up a combo that helps Steamy defeat the boss at the end of each movement.
In Practice mode, the notes are labeled to help you learn. In Pro mode, the labels are removed, and you must rely on your knowledge of the staff. Higher difficulties add more notes and faster tempos, mimicking the experience of playing a real instrument.
This version is primarily designed for touch-screen input, allowing you to learn note positions on the screen.
Beautiful selections of classical music that you can peck out at your own level of play or do so far more adeptly, if that’s where you are at. There is a practice mode, where I am at- it allows you to control the pace- and there are also two other stages for people who actually know what they are doing. I will be sending it to my loved one who is taking piano lessons.
I like it for my kid so far
I appreciate the developer trying to make this fun and adding game fixation. This design is too distracting visually. White lines on a grey background? Ledger lines run all the way across the screen so I can't see the five line staff. Note reading is a visual skill, so don't mess too much with the symbols you're trying to drill.
