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. They grade along a single axis…

An early mock up of Jungle Rumble. You could only tell the goodies from the baddies by the color of their faces. Super confusing! We made the baddies look different right off the bat.

Behind the Bongos: Donkey Konga Donkey Konga is a rhythm game where you play bongo drums with up to four people. Bongo drums. 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!

Jungle Rumble is launching!

Jungle Rumble comes out Thursday! Seriously! This is crunch time at Disco Pixel. Crunch Crunch can be a beautiful, pure time when all energies are focused on one clear goal: Shipping. When those of us working on the game revise monkey animations at midnight because our deadline is fast approaching. When the great peeps who beta test indulge me with countless playthroughs to see if that crash bug…
