A music driven game (similar to the genre of Dance, Dance, Dance, Revolution), where players using their bodies, follow on-screen directives to complete dance moves of the style, finger tutting.
'Finger tutting' is a type of dance that involves intricate movements of the fingers. The word "tutting" is a street dance based on angular movements done in sequence and combinations.͚
Finger Tutting͛ uses the Xbox Kinect camera to register human hand, body movement and speed. The TV projects their image, along with superimposed lines and geometry, acting as prompts for player movements to mimic. Thegame is heavily music-driven, so following in time are songs (mainly of the electronic and hip hop genre) that typically reflect the tutting intensity pace, combos.
Players control the game predominantly with their hands, but body position is included as the level of the difficulty increases. Points are awarded based on:
The hip hop sub-culture of finger tutting has a wide community of promoters/ followers, and a large part in the game creates value by featuring recognizable moves and combos from these famous stars. The same cue is taken with the inclusion of currently popular songs that exist in this sub-culture. Pop culture plays a large factor in this. Following along with popular songs, mimicry of high end moves is a meta element to creates a very attractive unique selling point (USP). This USP is similar to that of Sing Star and Guitar Hero.
Though predominantly single or two-player, there is scope to accommodate split-screen online competitive gameplay.
Platform: Microsoft Xbox, with Kinect camera
