About iMusic Puzzle
iMusic Puzzle is a game where players need to use their skills in order to solve audio puzzles that are created with pieces of their favorite iTunes Library songs! There are two gameplay modes, including Arcade, where iMusic Puzzle will randomly select 28 songs from the user’s iTunes Library, and Quick Play, where specific songs can be selected.
The game offers three puzzle styles:
- Drop: Samples of different songs are falling and the player needs to quickly drop them into their corresponding song slot!
- Memory: A deck of audio samples is displayed and the player needs to listen and find pairs with the same part of a song
- Shuffle: A portion of a song is played and then it explodes into multiple audio samples. The player has to arrange them in the correct order, making the music flow!

To guide the paper boat along the course in the swimming pool, players use the accelerometer in order to pass between the flags and avoid hitting obstacles.
