If you’ve been playing mobile games for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve played a piano game. They are very attractive, easy to understand and practically designed for touch screen devices.
Piano games also tend to be quite similar, enough that it might seem hard to believe anyone could come up with an inventive way to shake them up. Either way, that’s exactly what HAVE did with its first mobile game, aptly titled Robbie the robot.
The main character Robbie is a robot who was an ace pianist until lightning bypassed his visual processor. Now he needs you to help him remember how to play, but as you start by pressing or holding the keys as they drop off the screen in a straightforward manner, you will quickly notice that they become blurry and darker … and then no longer be able to see them at all.
Robbie the robot challenges you to rely on muscle memory when you can’t use your eyes for one purpose: to educate the visually impaired. Half of the money from the game (even things as simple as watching ads) goes to Sightsavers, a charity working in developing countries to treat preventable blindness and promote equality for visually impaired people around the world. .
It’s a cause anyone can support, with the added bonus that it’s driven by a game that will make you see to kind of piano playing in a whole new way – that is, not at all, once you master the note playing without seeing the tiles.
The HAVE team is also offering $ 300 in premium headphones and earphones. Click on this link to find out more – you have until March 21 to participate.
