Tik Tok launches its first mini-program game, let’s dance to the magical song!

After Toutiao announced its entry into the mini program battlefield, Douyin finally launched its first mini program. This is a music rhythm game called "Yinyueqiuqiu", which is very suitable for Douyin. With the rhythmic Douyin hits, it is very exciting to play. As the first mini program launched by Douyin, Yinyueqiuqiu shoulders the same historical responsibility as "Jump Jump", so will this magical mini game become a hit?

Sound Jump Ball is a rhythmic music game with simple gameplay. Players control the characters to shuttle between buildings. Just click the screen when the light beam lights up to jump to the next building. The jumping rhythm and background music match perfectly, which makes it very addictive.

It's easy to get started, but it's not easy to play well. Only when you successfully jump to the center of the light column can you have a combo effect. The more combos you have, the higher the score will be, and then you will have a chance to pass the level with three stars. The first few levels are relatively simple, the jumping rhythm is "left, right, left", and the songs are also familiar. The first three levels are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "123 I Love You", and "Friendships". Some of the song names may not be familiar, but you must have heard the rhythm.

The difficulty will increase with each level. You will need to jump three or more light beams in a row. If you don't concentrate at this time, you will easily fall down. It must be said that familiarity with the song will affect the level, because after the number of light beams increases and the speed increases, it is easy to mess up the rhythm of clicking. Fortunately, the songs selected in the game are all well-known divine songs, and most people are familiar with them.

Although the gameplay of Yinyueqiuqiu is simple, its game system is not single. By comparing it with Jump Jump, we can see that Yinyueqiuqiu is not just trying to be a hit, but Douyin is operating it as a complete game.

The songs in the game are divided into five chapters according to the difficulty. You need to accumulate enough stars to open them. The physical system limits you from trying endlessly, and the resurrection option reduces the difficulty of passing the level. There are systems such as diamonds and gold coins in the game, which can be used to purchase characters and unlock chapters in advance. Players can get diamond rewards by watching ads and sharing screen recordings. The winners of the competition have the opportunity to get more rewards and ranking titles.

As the first mini program of Douyin, the gameplay of Yinyueqiuqiu is attractive enough, especially when combined with the familiar Douyin hit songs, it is as "addictive" as short videos. Without the social advantages of WeChat mini games, Douyin has spent more effort on the gameplay and provides many entrances, which can be found in the mini program list, search box, and game videos shared by others.

In a short period of time, it is not a problem for the music ball to become a hit, but people are worried about whether such popularity can be sustained and copied by other small games. Douyin's mini programs and WeChat's mini games are actually restricted by the style of the platform, but WeChat's is relatively small, and Douyin's style is more prominent, so there are naturally more restrictions. Choosing a music game with a strong sense of rhythm is very suitable as the first mini program, but for the Douyin mini program to grow into a larger ecosystem, it needs more mini programs that are suitable for the platform. This is a long trial process.
