I've been playing an iPad rhythm game called Symphonica lately. The concept is pretty sweet: You play a conductor, and all the songs are famous classical pieces. You play it by tapping, swiping and sliding in time with the notes on the screen. It's all pretty intuitive.

It even comes with a story mode, which is :words: about this conductor kid Takt who comes the big city looking for his conductor brother and the only way to do that is to conduct his orchestra to victory in a conduct-off. It's a Square-Enix game. This is also the way you unlock the first half of the songs. You can also unlock harder versions of the songs by ranking S or above in them. The rest of the songs you unlock by getting fame points in songs by ranking as high as you can. Once you level up, ta-dah, new song.

All in all, it's a pretty chill game. The difficulty curve starts out piss-easy, but rises gently until- gently caress YOU, William Tell Overture, gently caress you! I need those points to unlock that last loving song! And gently caress you too, Espaņa, and your stupid-rear end tempo changes! Why do I suck so hard?

You can play the first couple of songs for free, but the rest require purchase. It's a bit on the expensive side, but I think it was worth it.

Edit: gently caress youuuuuu, William Tell Overture! Why do I even play this game?
