Only the pure of heart can see what this pattern may be in the upper left hand corner of the world. Follow the pattern, make the music, BE A CHAMPION.

It Makes Noise!

Looks cool! I’ll try it out when I’m on a computer with sound. :slight_smile:

#3

Very good and original music game, I really like it. But it becomes too hard as soon as level 3, and I couldn’t beat level 4. You should not hesitate to make the difficulty of your game more progressive.

#4

Sorry StephR I had to make it get hard fast since I was running out of space for Levels. There are only 10~ levels total. You can beat them all if you believe in yourself! I actually thought of flattening my arrays that hold the level data and grabbing some more bytes … but I have another game Idea I want to finish for this competition. I actually made an android version of this game but my day job (bioinformatics grad student) has been keeping me from finishing it up.

Great job Russ.

I too found the levels difficult, however i think the fun of this game is in the difficulty of the levels as it is quite clear what you need to do its just a case of pulling it off. I got up to level 6 before feeling the need to throw my laptop began to set in lol. :stuck_out_tongue:

#6

Nice and original game. I like the sound/trickmove/match pattern idea

I just could not pass level 4.
Maybe you tune the difficulty a bit more down.

#7

Really nice game! I like the idea but like the others said … I found the levels difficult too.

#8

Great game & idea! I didn’t find it as difficult as the others said it was. I was able to complete it (I guess. Because it went back to level 1)

#9

The game does loop upon completion so that you can have fun all over again.

#10

Wow a unique game idea! I also found it extremely hard and had to skip level 4, but by level 10 I was close to throwing my laptop against the wall :stuck_out_tongue:

#11

I completed them all - gets frustrating often times, but it’s also addictive and fun.

Great stuff.

#12

My best is lvl 3, the ball is hard to control. The technique of this procedural sound must be learned.

#13

I love the concept, never saw it before!
Lvl 4 was a bit too hard for me too, but overall the game is pretty cool. Congrats!

#14

This was tied for my top game. Too bad it didn’t fare better amongst the other judges too, seems like there were some technical issues. But I really loved it, excellent job. :slight_smile:
