Symphony is a Galaga-style shooter in which you’re stuck in a certain range of movement and enemies are flying in from the side of the screen, occasionally shooting at you. Throughout the course of a song, you collect “Inspiration,” which are the little music notes dropped by enemy ships. They serve as currency for in-game items, as well as repairing your ship during a song after it gets damaged. Each song, depending on its length, has a certain score range. The higher the difficulty, the higher the score quota but the bigger the reward. Initially, you’ll only have two difficulty levels available for play, but you’ll earn more completing tasks in-game.
