The Endless Chorus
About
The Endless Chorus! Mad Libs meets music trivia meets rhythm game :D
Lock into the beat and fill in the blanks as best you can in this tiny proof-of-concept thing!
As the incomplete lyrics from the chorus of Iron Maiden's Die With Your Boots On scroll across the screen, select the word from A-B-C-D which correctly fills in the blank. Be sure to time your selection when the arrow's touching a "?" block to keep your stamina up!
Make it through the chorus and you get to relax as the (possible) word salad you've created scrolls by for eternity :)
UPDATE 31/07/18 : An experimental edutainment version of this prototype is available here! --> https://drixxelsoft.itch.io/english-at-work. This was developed in association with an EAL (English as an Additional Language) instructor as a possible teaching tool to assist in a baking program curriculum.
