Added to this, Bucholtz clarified that his purpose is not only to make a Bob Marley game for his fans, but to make a game for fans of music in general and games. He noted that he wishes his game could have the ability to expand beyond all of that.
The rhythm game will provide some experiences that will encourage the participation of the players, in which, of course, the music of Bob Marley will be integrated; his classics and greatest hits, albeit presented from a different perspective, that is, approached from other genres different from their origin.
