There are also monthly contests that occur where users can get prizes. On the Punk-O-Matic website, registered users can post their songs up for other to rate. Special riffs are pre-made guitar riffs that sound cool. Each fret has a multiple amount of manual riffs, and some even contain special riffs. Each fret represents a different chord on the guitar. When making songs, you click on one of the boxes where you select a fret (for basses and guitars) or a drum beat. The free mode is just focused on making songs and playing in concerts. Along with this, you can make music (of course) and play concerts, as already mentioned.
In these city events you meet the characters and see what they're up to. In the story mode your band has to play concerts to unlock achievements (and there also a few other hidden things you do) to unlock city events. There are two modes in the game, the Story Mode and Free Mode. When you start the game, you have to create a band, which you can later customize by buying the members of your band items, like new instruments and clothing. Punk-O-Matic 2 is a music creating game created by Evil-Dog that succeeds the popular game, Punk-O-Matic.
