SplashJrDev/Splash Music

Splash Music is a music game made by SplashDev, based on their app Splash.
== Gameplay ==
DJ-ing is the main part of the game. Splash has a vast array of genres, packs, and options to let players' musical creativity loose. Alongside going up on stage (after queueing up, of course, by either pressing the red headphones button on the right side of the screen, or the big "DJ Sign Up" booth in the interior and exterior of most clubs), players can use 'DJ Effects' that range from changing the color of the club to lifting everyone inside up into the air, to having ramen drop out of nowhere. After every DJ, the player will get fame to unlock accessories, packs, and more. With each rank-up of fame, players can claim watches for their avatar - each watch comes with coins given to the player. They can be claimed at the Fame Tower, a hall of fame-style tower that shows off celebrities and legends.
In the special map Band Camp, players get to create/join bands and perform together (with each player being assigned to a certain column in a chosen band pack). Meanwhile, in The Basement, 2 bands battle each other.
Dancing is a completely different game than DJ-ing. Going into the club, the player can select the orange dance button, activate "dance battle" and begin a rhythm-type game. There are different objects to either tap or avoid. From bombs to coin doublers to 'hold' pads, dancing is a challenging yet rewarding game mode to try. Upon winning, a 'dance bonus' will pop up at the bottom right. The more the player wins first place, the higher their 'stars' (fame, but for dancing) will increase after every dance battle.
If a person has made a huge impact on Splash and benefitted the community largely, they would be chosen by the creators as a celebrity. Celebrities get the pack of their liking, which is then released onto the celebrity category. They would be given a celebrity nametag, they'd earn a spot in the hall of fame, and username would be shortened to the name segment chosen for their pack (e.g. TheGamingBro123 is shortened to BRO). In the Discord server, the celebs would also be given mod roles, including the ability to warn, kick, make emojis, and more. As of now, there are 32 celebrities, with more to come (although a few packs have been moved to other genres outside of celebrity due to the respective celebrities having been either banned or retired).
Obtaining a mix (a four-pack mashup for people who have earned Legend, the highest fame rank) is way easier said than done. To quote the admin of Splash, "When someone gets legend, they will be contacted for a potential legends mix. We will not be refusing any legends, but only expand the Hall of Fame to the demand. Mixes are a mash of packs into one and, depending, can even have a customized layout." To acquire it, a player must hit the 'Legend' status, meaning that they have 100k fame or greater. They should also be in the Discord group so you can prove they're a legend, communicate with an admin/dev, and request anything required (for example, how low/high another player's fame should be to play your pack, etc.) After finalization, an admin will add something unique on the player's character in-game, which is a legend tag. Like a celebrity nametag, the legend nametag hovers over their character with a yellow font with stars on it.
In the map Skydome, 2 players are given a random pack in a random genre, before performing against each other. The winner of the battle is decided by voting from the audience.
The game also has maps with other features, such as skating in Skate High, vibing in Kai's Studio, or kart racing in Kart Racing.
Players can now design their own clubs and have people visit them. Furniture, displays, and more can be placed, with many of them needing to be paid in coins. Special designs can be gotten from season passes, where players do club-related tasks to gain progress and gain designs on the way.
Players are able to sell T-Shirts for Robux as merch, which others can buy in-game. If a T-Shirt is bought, a private channel called a "Fan Club" between the merch owner and the players who bought it will appear.
== Trivia ==
* The game's main mascot is Kai, a fictional 16-year old developer from New York City. She currently has Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok. She is regarded as an artist, having 7 artist packs. She debuted with the EP Breathe, with music videos for each track being gradually released. Her songs are usually made into performable packs.
**ADORE, her 4th pack, was the first-ever automated performance by Splash, before spreading to its artists.
**Kai gained coverage when she had an interview with Virtual Humans, a website focusing on virtual influencers. A page was added about her.https://www.virtualhumans.org/human/kaihttps://www.virtualhumans.org/article/who-is-roblox-pop-star-and-game-developer-kai
**On April 13, 2022, a YouTube channel for Kai was made (titled KaiFromSplash), which consists of her playing other games, exploring player-made music on Splash HQ, and more. Her first video is a gameplay video of The Mimic, released on May 6, 2022.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1s3IdUOD02PdOXzQ-uUAOQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhI7m3zybDg&t=23s
* There are a total of 17 official maps, 13 of them active and 4 of them replaced or deleted (certain maps require a certain fame level/MVP gamepass to perform at, active maps marked with bold, with notes written in brackets):
** Kai's Studio (a vibe map with no performances/queue)
** Club Splash
** Sub-Zero (has an ice skating minigame)
** Pool Party

* Besides celebrities are also artists, which come in 3 different forms:
** Artists that make music without Splash. They either own a world to themselves and a paid pack based on their music (the latter was halted after the Merci, Mercy collaboration due to copyright issues) or just an automated performance (just like Kai's ADORE and Breathe Again).

*By linking their Roblox account to Splash HQ, players were able to upload and release recordings of their performances.https://splashhq.com However, Splash HQ was shut down on November 28, 2022.
