How well do you know your digital music library’s album art? Ergonomidesign, creator of Sonicspree want to make a game of it. The developers hope to port Sonicspree to the iPad from its current incarnation as a Microsoft Surface application. The app’s creators turned to Kickstarter for help to fund the creation, or re-creation, of Sonicspree for iPad, since it would allow their game to reach a much larger audience. Surface 2.0 debuted with a price tag of $8400 — that’s about the cost of 17 16GB Wi-Fi iPads, so obviously Surface isn’t going to find its way into the game rooms of the average tech shopper.

The iPad app will be designed for 1 – 4 players. Once the Sonicspree for iPad is released, users will be able to draw on their iTunes account for music and album art content. The app will even allow users to generate game content using iTunes playlists.

The object to the game is to match digital cards that feature iPad art on them. The players flip one card over and put it in the center then take turns trying to find its match. There is one catch: the cards are moving during gameplay. The game is billed by its creators as “memory on steroids.” After the matching card is found the player that drags it to his home spot first gets the points, so speed is an essential component to mastering the game.

Sonicspree for iPad sounds like a lot of fun. I wonder how the app would deal with all of the albums in my collection that don’t have album art?

If the project meets its funding goal, interested backers who pledge just $3 will receive a copy of the game when it is released. Backers who pledge $25 will be invited to join the app’s pre-release test group.

Sonicspree for iPad must be funded by March 17, 2012. To date the creators have raised only three percent of their $10K goal. If this game appeals to you make a pledge to the project to help the creators see their idea to fruition.
