Chillingo launches free-to-play music game Zya on iOS

Music Mastermind's free-to-play musical creation game Zya is now available on the iTunes App Store, developer Chillingo announced today.

In Zya, players can mash-up popular songs, setting up the rhythm, laying down other melodies and mixing new vocal tracks using the touchscreen of the iOS device. There are a dozen genres to choose from, spanning popular hits from Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" and "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke.

Zya includes a progression system for leveling up as well as unlocking new characters, microphones and instruments. Players can also tweak their vocals using the Auto-Tune feature or transform their humming to sound like any instrument. Read our hands-on with the game for more details on how far Zya players can push the boundaries of music mixing.

Zya is available for free through the iTunes App Store and is compatible with iPad and iPhone 4 and up running iOS 6 or higher.
