Jump Jump Band

2019

Jump Jump Band is a Kinect-controlled, co-op rhythm game inspired by the traditional playground game, skipping.

Inspired by the physical movement and social interaction present in group skipping, the game requires players to physically jump to the beats of the music and work together to get the highest score possible. Each player plays a junkyard musical instrument, jumping to the right beats in order to successfully “perform” the piece of music as an ensemble.

Completed as part of my second semester studio project for the Master of Animation, Games & Interactivity program at RMIT University in Melbourne, and showcased to the public at the MAGI EXPO 2019.
