Field notes
The game links board-clearing to composition: matching colored modifiers earns individual percussion parts, and each completed level adds to the developing groove. Its 21-level structure spans three stages with rising tempos and harder score and pad targets. The homepage pairs each stage with named drum-machine traditions, including the TR-808, LinnDrum, CR-78, and MPC60, and credits Dan Camaro as the creator.
