An Interactive Music Memory Game with Motion Sensors
The unique Loopz game device features four semi-circular rings arranged in a four-square pattern. Each is outfitted with a motion sensor that detects movement. Gameplay involves players mimicking the pulsing light and music patterns by waving their hands in and out of the loops in an accurate, timely fashion.
If you miss three times, you're out, but if you hang on, the patterns will become faster and more involved. Loopz has an internal counter that tracks your speed and difficulty level throughout the game and will rate your overall performance.
The Loopz device has a Home button and an on/off switch. You'll wave your hand into the top loops to toggle through games and use the bottom loops to confirm your selections. Use the Home button to adjust the volume or to quit a game and return to the menu at any time. Though its controls are simple and its games are easy to understand, Loopz offers hours of challenging musical fun for kids and the whole family.
