Tapittytap the screen to Control a Tribe of Monkeys in Jungle Rumble A deep dive on the game design of Jungle Rumble: Freedom, Happiness, and Bananas I love rhythm games. I have always wanted to make one. I love slapping on bongos in Donkey Konga, tapping the DS screen in Rhythm Heaven, and playing the plastic in Guitar Hero. But the follow-the-script thing irks me.

This delighted my spastic ADD inner child and my social outer party gamer. On screen, music notation scrolls by. The notation is pretty simple: left, right, both, or clap. Clap!
