Ebi Jump

C, E, G. Step on three notes in a row and you've played a chord. Ebi Jump is a music action game about climbing. Plates float in the sky with note names written on them. Step on them in the order that spells a chord, and the way opens upward. ■ Chord shapes, learned by playing Each island teaches one chord. Notes are shown by degree — root, 3rd, 5th, 7th — so you start to recognise the same shape in any key. You don't need to read music. Your ears and fingers do the learning. ■ Fourteen islands, fourteen sounds From the simple triads of the first island to the chromatic steps of Shadow Isle and the minor colours of Witch Isle. The chords thicken as you climb, and before long you're stepping through 7ths and inversions. ■ Every island has a keeper The stall owner, the drunkard, the thief, the cook, the witch. Meet an island's keeper and you face it with chords. Beat it and its trading card is yours — thirteen in all. ■ Alone, whenever you like No connection needed. An island takes about a minute. One island on the way there, one on the way back. ■ Sound is the point Turn the volume up. Headphones recommended.
