In Incredibox, you become a music composer, using easy to understand buttons, sounds, and rudimentary mixing tools to create fascinating and quirky music. There is no plot, no goals, and no theme other than exploring your own sense of musical creativity.

Create your own musical compositions for the world

Incredibox is an App that allows players to create their own musical compositions. Seven bearded Hipsters appear on the screen of the game, and players can tap the icons underneath those men. The seven Hipsters then perform your song based on the icons which appear underneath them.

The icons correspond to various musical elements, and players can then assign each of those elements to one of the different characters. From there, you create your own song. You can then upload your song for others to listen to and vote on the songs that others have created. If you like someone else's song, you can "heart" it, and there is an app-wide top fifty list.

The game has no achievements, points, bonuses, or collectibles, so the drive to create a well-liked song and make it into the worldwide Top 50 can be a great incentive.

Basic graphics, but beautiful sounds

The game's graphics are relatively basic (you will get tired of the seven Hipsters remarkably quickly), but this is in order to highlight its core audio components. In that regard, the game excels, which you would expect it to, as the game is designed entirely around how it sounds!

The variety of notes and manipulation of the game's sounds can seem overwhelming, but when blended by someone with a keen understanding of music, something beautiful can happen. Furthermore, since the game is so easy to grasp, it can be satisfying for even the newest of players. Indeed, the only knock on the game's audio may be that it will drive parents who listen to it absolutely insane.

A wild success in musical composition

The game is designed towards kids and music beginners as an introduction to musical composition. In that way, the game is a wild success.

Designed towards kids and music beginners as an introduction to musical composition.

It is easy to understand: You hit buttons and create a song. Want to change the order of a few notes? Just hold and drag. Using the game's interface, you can layer in sounds, extend them, pause them, and more. This game is perfect for kids, but caution is required, as the game has no parental controls, meaning that kids can open social networks (via the "share" button when you complete a creation) or visit the game creator's shop. Some supervision may be required as a result of this missing option.

Your creativity is the only obstacle

The game is available via a website or for download on numerous App stores, including Apple, Google Play, Amazon, and more. The cost is $3.99.

Fortunately, if you are looking for a game that you can sink a good chunk of time into, this is it for you. Your creativity only limits Incredibox's replayability. Furthermore, the game offers six themes that allow you to change the sounds with which you are composing and experimenting.

Getting bored is possible, but it will take a lot of time.

TL/DR

A quirky and easy to understand music game which can introduce children to musical creation while giving pros the chance to create a unique and intriguing sound.
