Album art is making a comeback from the days when buying an album was about more than just the music inside. Cover Match pays tribute to the artwork of musicians and the fans who love it with an exciting new game that will test your skills and keep you coming back for more. Cover Match was featured under New and Noteworthy in December 2009, and rose to the #4 game in Music.
Graphically mastered and engineered, this is no ordinary match game. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with the crisp OpenGL graphics and special effects that accompany each level, and intrigued by the beauty and rich detail of your album art. Using a classic arcade format, Cover Match starts off slow with just a few album covers to match, then heats up with unlimited levels of randomly sorted cover art. Cover Match literally offers “zillions” of game possibilities. No two games will ever be alike.
Players can choose from two modes, “fun” and “scored”. Fun mode lets you play at your leisure with no limits, no timers, and no pressure. Scored mode creates competition and tests your matching skills using a timer and tap counter. Points are awarded for matches, and a bonus is given for any time or taps leftover at the end of each level.
Other features of Cover Match include portrait and landscape play options (just rotate your device during game play) and an extensive help section. The built-in soundtrack will keep you tapping, but Cover Match also lets iPod music play through so you can listen to your favorite tunes. If you need to interrupt a game for a phone call or meeting, Cover Match will automatically save your current progress and score for restart later on. Finally, players can compete for high scores to win a place on the online Cover Match Top 25 list.
The more album art you have, the better Cover Match will be, but the game includes built-in album art to augment music collections with less than 24 albums.
Hunter Research and Technology is proud to present this great game. If you are a music fan that appreciates album art or a gamer looking to discover a whole new side of your music, give Cover Match a try.
Pros and cons of Cover Match app for iPhone and iPad
Cover Match app good for
I remember before the digital age and iPods I use to recognize albums by their cover. I remember looking thru CDs to find that picture/artwork that had the song I was looking for. This game makes me once again get to know and remember the artists not just for their songs but for the album artwork. its funs and a great way to pass time and get to know the artwork for the song again. I also like to think it helps you exercise your brain by remembering and matchning the artwork....
Get this game if you want to feed your brain and appreciate your cover art...Once your start you just cant stop playing... Without a doubt the coolest App ever. If you loved the memory game as a kid this one will blow your mind. I forgot how cool some of the cover art is and this app showcases the art and improves your memory all at the same time...thank you for creating such an awesome game...YOU GUYS ROCK !!!!!!
My friend told me about this app and I had to get it! I love seeing all of the cover art for my music and the memory game is awsome! This is my favorite iphone app, Im totally hooked!
This game is so fun! I bought it while waiting at a doctors appt and by the time I was called, I was actually ok with statying in the waiting room. I love it!!
Great game way better than alot of the other games out there for more money defently buy it
I recieved my iPod touch for my birthday a few weeks ago and bought this app after seeing it featured, I now play it non stop. Its been fun to play this game with all my music Ive collected over the years showing all the album artwork. My husband and I now fight over whos going to play first! Any music fan would love this app for the good quality and price.
Some bad moments
Thought it was about matching album art with the title. Didnt realize was about playing concentration or memory.
Great at first one of my favorite apps now it will not load up at all so was 5 stars now only 1 until the issue is fixed. Please advise iTunes.
Once my favorite app; now the thrill is gone. It will not load and though I have an extensive music library on my iPad and iPhone, blank squares appear. What happened?
I loved the idea of taking graphics from my album covers. The actual matching game is not fun. I wanted to like it. If it would let you fill the entire grid to begin with it would be a proper game. But it keeps cycling through levels and the first level is two pairs. It takes forever to get up to a decent number of them. Im sorry, its excruciatingly boring. Thats just one way this game tries too hard. It also adds a constantly pulsing glow to the squares. Not attractive, in my opinion. Sorry, but its going in the trash.
This was a great app...until all of the sudden it doesnt read the album covers correctly and they all show as the same colored black squares. I was able to get up through level 3, but its a little challenging with EVERYTHING BEING EXACTLY THE SAME!
Dead app. Some reviewers say they get blank boxes... I get NO boxes. I used to love playing this game a few years ago when it actually worked. All I get is the main page... No links works at all: settings, shop, scores, start -- all useless
