Symphonica is an entirely new breed of music game. Its breezy controls and tightly integrated gameplay give you a taste of what it’s like to be an up-and-coming conductor via a wholly unique gaming experience. Give Chapters 0 through 3 a try for absolutely free!

Featuring character design by Chinatsu Kurahana.
Supported platforms: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and newer, iPod touch 3rd generation and newer

> Story
Einsatz, the city of music, founded by the legendary conductor Carlos and his companions and brought to where it is today by its citizens, the Audience. Talented musicians from around the world flock here with dreams of performing in King Hall at the top of Concerto Tower, which stands tall over the city.

Takt has come to Einsatz to pursue his own dream of becoming the world’s best conductor. Little did he know that he’d be in charge of the ramshackle Fayharmonic, an orchestra on the verge of collapse. Leaning on Takt as their last hope, the Fayharmonic and their new conductor set their sights on King Hall.

Thus begins the tale of Takt and his companions in song!

> Game Highlights
1.Not Your Usual Music Game
The lack of specially designated tapping “hot spots” gives you more freedom, allowing you to feel more of what it’s like to be a conductor.
Never-before-seen features like tempo shifts and real-time, control-linked volume changes put a fresh new spin on the music game genre (patent pending).

2.Tightly Integrated Gameplay and Story
Unlike games that let you pick and choose only the songs you like, Symphonica puts you in the role of a conductor honing the skills of his musicians. In this novel approach to the genre, the music game portion is organically integrated with the story, so you’ll be drawn in by the gripping plot while performing stunning classical pieces.

3.Go Even Further
Perform at higher score levels to increase your orchestra’s Fame and add new pieces to your repertoire.
Plus, once you’ve cleared a given song with a certain number of points, you can test your skill with a more challenging version of the song. It’s perfect for experienced music game aficionados!

4.A Treasure Trove of Classical Masterpieces
Featuring nearly 50 instantly recognizable songs (20 full performances and approximately 30 rehearsal pieces), including Dvorak’s New World Symphony and Beethoven’s Fifth. You might not necessarily know a piece’s name, but once you hear a few notes, you’ll be humming the whole thing!

Pros and cons of SYMPHONICA app for iPhone and iPad

SYMPHONICA app good for

Incredible game! Extremely original, great graphics and story line. I love SYMPHONICA, thanks for making this game!
This game is awesome, its easy to play, has a good story, and Its a lot of fun (also I had no crash issues). However, the price point! E-gads! Is it a dousey. IMO, I dont like the price point, its just too much for an IOS game. But man, does Square make it hard. It really is a lot of fun and I want to play the rest of the story, but $12.99 (or was it $14.99) is just too much for me. I am sad face about that. (TT^TT)
I would definitely play the whole game but Im not going to pay for it. :(
Incredibly addicting and easy to learn with an excellent choice of songs. Most (if not all) the pieces should be recognizable, even if the player hasnt studied classical music. It has a good variety of moderate and fast paced pieces, with the occasional slow piece. Yes, itll cost $14.99 to get access to the rest of the story and bonus chapters, but it also gets you 30 different excerpts in the story mode and 20 full pieces (each of which has three unlockable levels) that can be played in Concert mode. It has been well worth it, as the game pulls me back everyday. I didnt have a single problem of the game crashing or freezing.
I really love this game! The arts great, I love the songs and its such an addicting game! But sadly I havent been able to play recently. I start the game up and its fine, but during the loading screen of either an episode or song I chose it crashes! Dx Please fix this!
I love this game and super addicting but i cant get through a song without the game crashing half way through. Please fix :)

Some bad moments

I really liked this game until for some reason when I was about to play it, all my game data got erased and I had to start from scratch. Its good that I could restore my purchases but honestly its annoying
Currently bugged, running iPhone 5 with 8.0.2 once I start the app it jumps from a black screen to a white screen and gets stuck. Have played this game before and its great. Fix!
Please help, I only get a white screen when opening the app, I have an iPhone 5c and Im running iOS 8.2(? Most current)
I cant load game. All I get is a white display. Really would like play this. Please fix it?
When I open the app it just shows a blank screen. Please fix it.
I want my money back for all the songs I bought!!! This game is a ripoff!!!!!
