DropMix_MixLink_01.png DropMix_MixLink_02.png DropMix_MixLink_07.png DropMix_MixLink_11.png DropMix_MixLink_12.png Shown on Mike Soltoff's Behance page for the game is a gif of an unused MixLink Interface, where the player could write a custom mix to a blank DropMix AR card.

Shown in the screenshots is a MixLink card being made out of:

  • ScHoolboy Q - Man of the Year [Lead]
  • D'Von Rice - Magenta Benz [Loop]
  • Blank MixLink card
  • Fetty Wap - 679 (ft. Remy Boyz) [Beat]
  • Paula Abdul - Straight Up [Bass]

This is what it would've sounded like in-game (cards are placed in the order shown in the gif sourced from the Behance page):

Also included, is a screenshot the Collection Menu with the MixLink button.

"The Lumineers - Ho Hey" & Unknown Lou Reed & James Landiño Songs#

DropMix_Sweets_Beta_Collection.png

Shown on Mike Soltoff's Behance page for the game is a screenshot of the Sweets Menu with some different cards for songs.

  • Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out (but it uses Bullwheel - Atomic Handbrake's Bass card.)
  • Lou Reed - I Don't Like It, I Love It (ft. Robin Thicke, Verdine White) (but it uses The Chainsmokers - Closer (ft. Halsey)'s Beat card)
  • Lumineers - Ho Hey (but it uses The Chainsmokers - Closer (ft. Halsey)'s Beat card)
  • Unknown James Landiño Song (but it uses Bullwheel - Atomic Handbrake's Loop card)

Things to note about this screenshot:

  • Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out doesn't have any Horns in the song.
  • Lou Reed has never released a song called "I Don't Like It, I Love It" with Robin Thicke & Verdine White. This is probably placeholder text ported from the Flo Rida song with the same title and featured artists.
  • The Lou Reed song could possibly be "Walk On the Wild Side" due to A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It? later being used in FUSER, which samples the song's guitar.
  • The Lumineers - Ho Hey was never released in any Harmonix-released games but was posted accidentally in a now-deleted tweet from their RockBand account.
  • James Landiño's song in this screenshot probably isn't Break For Me VIP Mix (ft. Noelle LeBlanc) because:
    • The artist field doesn't have his name accented in-game
    • The song name only takes up two lines (three if you count the artist name).

Early Puzzle Help UI#

Shown on Mike Soltoff's Behance page for the game is beta screenshots of the Help UI for the Puzzle screenshots. While the first screenshot is used in-game with different text, the second isn't.
