TouchJam, A Collaboration of Game Developer and Music Industry

Working with music label Aquarius Musikindo, Touchten presents Touchjam, a music-based gaming platform dedicated to all Indonesian music lovers. J-Rocks is the first musician selected to fill this Guitar Hero type of game.

The collaboration between game developer and musician has previously been done by KotaGames and Slank through SuperSlank game. In contrast to SuperSlank, TouchJam players don't just play the game but they can also listen to their favorite artist’s songs. Players will be accompanied by songs selected by pressing keyboard buttons. The better the player plays, then selected song will be more enjoyable.

There are three difficulty levels to choose from in this game, namely easy, medium and hard. When we tried to play this game, there is one J-Rocks song that can be played on each level of difficulty. For easy level, there’s "Cobalah Kau Mengerti", "I’m Falling in Love" for medium level and the song for hard level is "Meraih Mimpi". Later, in addition of free songs, there will also be paid songs that can be purchased within the game.

You can play TouchJam by visiting this page. During the launch period from April 17 to April 29, there’s an online competition to get highest score. Eight players with highest scores at the end of the competition will receive tickets to watch a concert with J-Rocks. The concert happens to be that of L'Arc En Ciel, a highly popular Japanese rock band ,which will be held on May 2 in Jakarta.

Anton Soeharyo, President Director of Touchten, through a press release received by DailySocial, said that aside from J-Rocks, Touchten will also bring other musicians in to TouchJam. In addition to entertaining music fans, TouchJam is also expected to help grow the music industry in Indonesia.

Previously, Touchten is known for iOS-based games such as Hachiko HD. To date, Touchten has released 12 games on various platforms. TouchJam is its first web-based project.
