My first experiment in the land of Emscripten, which allows you to compile C++ to JavaScript to run in the browser!

Unscramble the auto-genned composition! You can move the tracks up or down a total of 10 seconds worth of time within the 10 second music clip, and as you progress through the levels they will become more and more scrambled.
Line up the notes as best you can, matching colours should slide together appropriately. Bass lines are on the left, melodies are on the right.

Should work in the latest Chrome and Firefox. It may work in other browsers, but I can't promise anything. Tried in Chrome on my Android phone and it works without audio, milage may vary.

It's quite fun and I would totes play it again, but I think the audio needs work. If the level goes for a while, it gets unclean.

I wasn't sure about what I was doing until the level 4. You could improve stuff on explaining & smoothing the difficulty curve, as well as stopping the melody 1 or 2 seconds after the success. Still, the idea is cool and the game looks nice !

Music games are always fun and this is definitely a unique concept. Sadly, it took me some time to understand how to play the game.

Really interesting approach to the theme. I liked how there was a little comedy in the out of order melodies.
