Skillz: The DJ Game gets new tracks added and more preview screenshots

About a month or so ago we announced a game that would be landed on Android called Skillz: The DJ Game for Android tablets. It will probably be available on phones as well but the gameplay will be geared towards tablet players. So what is the gameplay like, it will be somewhat like DJ Hero but with a different style of controls.

In Skillz: The DJ Game you will be put in front of a large audience and it is your job to get them worked up and have a good time. To do this, you have to mix your tracks well. You will be able to scratch, cross-fade and drop in different sample as you work hard to get the crowd going.

Some Features:

• Step Into A World of DJing: Single player music game for all ages that simulates the world of a superstar DJ and allows players to mix and scratch songs using a tablet’s touchscreen interface.
• The Freshest Music: Play over 20 of the hottest dance tracks from world-renowned artists including Diplo, People Under The Stairs, Crookers, Fedde Le Grand and more.
• Exhilarating Gameplay: Tap the screen to trigger samples, swipe the crossfader, and scratch the virtual vinyl to remix songs as you play.
• Build Your Rep: Unlock new levels and earn achievements as you play through various difficulty settings and grow your fan base.
• Rule the Crowd: Compete on a global leaderboard against friends and foes, and unlock achievements with OpenFeint integration.
• Expansive Music Library: Post-release support with new track packs to become available on an ongoing basis.
