Guitar Hero is a game in the Guitar Hero music video game series released for the iOS including iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. The gameplay in Guitar Hero iPhone is very similar to the console Guitar Hero series except for the use of instrument controllers. Instead, the game uses the iOS device’s multi-touch display. The player can choose to play either Guitar or Bass Guitar.

During the production of Guitar Hero iPhone I was responsible for designing and implementing various gameplay features. This included the challenge system and overall reward structure and game progression. Additionally, I worked at optimizing Guitar Hero’s gameplay for a touchscreen device. A lot of time was spent fine-tuning different gameplay elements like swipe responsiveness, size of the note-catcher window, tap gem forgiveness, and the star power energy meter. The game was announced on June 7th, 2010 during Steve Jobs’s keynote presentation at the 2010 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
