[UPDATE: The contest is now closed.  We'll let you know very soon who our winner is!  Thanks to everyone who participated.]

At PixlBit, we love great games and we love our great community.  What better way to combine these two amazing things than by stapling copies of our favorite games to our favorite community members?!  Apparently Nick doesn’t like my idea, though, and said we should give a good game to someone instead.  Well, whatever, he’s the boss so I’m going to go along with it.

You might have noticed that I was a little excited about the release of HarmoKnight for the 3DS, and when I got to dig in to the final version it exceeded my expectations.  We’d like nothing more than to let someone else out there get to enjoy this game too.  How can you win this download code?  It’s easy.  We just want you guys to do more of what you’re already doing: writing great blogs!  Except we need you to focus on a narrower topic in order to be entered.  Since you’re vying for a copy of a rhythm game, we want you to write about rhythm or music-based games in your blog.  Beyond that, we have no restrictions.  You can write about how much you love music games, the time you broke a copy of Gitaroo Man over your knee, how you met your wife playing DDR, or whatever creative angle or story you come up with.  The details are up to you.  As long as your blog focuses on rhythm or music games, you’re golden.

To enter, just post a blog about music-based games on PixlBit before April 20, 2013 and post a link to your blog in the comments here.  We’ll pick our favorite entry and the winner will receive a code via private message to download HarmoKnight from the 3DS eShop.  You need to be a U.S. citizen to enter and it would probably be a good idea to own a 3DS too.  If you win and don’t have a 3DS, we might be able to work out a deal involving staples, but I can make no promises with Mr. No-Fun Nick in charge.
