Runs well, good audio, nice old-school ASCII interface. Plenty of options for the musically-inclined. It's probably about as accessible as ScreamTracker. I could see it being used to make actual tunes. In a post-compo version, maybe add a way to share songs through encoded URLs? That way you could show off some of your own work.
This was cool, fun to play with :D However, I'm terrible at audio, and couldn't get it to sound too good :p It's quality as a 'game', and how well it fits to the theme is a stretch, but it was good fun, and interesting, so hell, I'm cool with it :D
This game was very difficult I found, ie I found it quite difficult making something that sounded nice. Using walls and stacked notes was quite confusing for me. I'm not saying it was so hard I wasn't able to make anything, it just took me a while to figure things out.
Maybe you could add a few examples, or a tutorial showing techniques for creating rhythms? A save/load feature would be good too.
I also noticed that some instruments got drowned out by the other instruments, so a way to change the volume would be a good addition.
The instruments in the game didn't sound very nice. They were very different, and didn't blend very well.
Besides that this looked like it had a lot of potential. I imagine there are a lot of cool things people could make, although I wasn't able to make much.
A little far from the "Tiny World" theme, or being a game, for that matter.. but as a toy/sound generation app it's a pretty cool concept I don't think I've ever seen before. I could see it catching on even as complex as it is, given the right set of tutorials :P good job!
This is awesome :-) I had a lot of fun playing with your audio sound game.
I think it lacks a "clear area" button, although just waving the eraser around kinda does the trick. Also, maybe a "T" junction where one note enter from above/below, and two leave from the sides at the same time?
I'll try to use this to make tunes for the next compo! :-D
Lovely game. It's actually quite interesting and innovative to me. Graphics are good (love old school ascii games) and it's fun. Sadly I can't see how the game fits into the theme :/ It's an amazing work though.
I'm a pretty huge fan of audio content generators, so I dinked around in this quite a bit. I also really dug the ASCII feel of it too, halfways expecting to accidentally boot back out to DOS once I got closed the tab. :P I'm not sure if it fits the theme per se, but it's something I think I'll play around with for the next LD for sure!
Also, I'm going to echo a previous commenter and say a way to share songs would be fantastic.
Interesting concept, and it could be greatly improved with some polish and maybe some preconfigured defaults that would go a long way towards showing people what they should be doing. Not really a game though, and not really the theme.
Fun to play around, but I'm not sure if I was able to use it to its full potential. Maybe adding a beginner's tutorial with examples of cool stuff you can do with it would help a lot =)

bookmarked though xD
