Designed by Harmonix (the company that designed Guitar Hero) this music-timing game runs only on third generation iPod Nanos (with video), iPod Classics or fifth-generation iPods (with video), this music game does not run on computers. It is available as a $5 download from iTunes. According to the iTunes description, the game can work with a 1000 song playlist between 30 seconds and 30 minutes each. As the notes move down the screen, you must correctly click the wheel button to activate a target at the right moment in order to earn more challenges and keep the crowd happy. Stars at the bottom of the screen fill as you successfully catch notes. There are six themes: Deep Sea, Music Festival, Neon Nights, Sonic City, Robot Factory, or Alien Planet.
