Our take on Melody Mania
The party-game framing may suggest an immediately stocked karaoke catalog, but the package includes only a few example files. A substantial part of the experience depends on importing songs or creating them with the editor.
What is Melody Mania?
Melody Mania is a karaoke party game with competitive, cooperative, duet, team, tournament, and pass-the-mic modes.
Players can queue songs, create medleys, organize libraries with playlists, and choose whether to use scoring. The game supports custom UltraStar and MIDI karaoke files, along with audio, video, and image formats. Its editor can isolate vocals, detect speech and pitch, add notes, import MIDI files, and attach media. An Android and iOS companion app can act as a microphone, song browser, queue manager, and remote control. Webcam backgrounds, microphone playback, vocal muting, an embedded browser, and Steam Workshop support are also included. No full song library is included by default; only a few demonstration files are provided.
