When you don't hear the sound, try reloading the page. There is an issue with asynchronous sound loading

A 10 second music part was scrambled somehow. Find the correct sequence to play the correct tune.

A short musical game using HTML5 and Javascript. Runs in modern HTML5 browsers. (Internet Explorer does not work)

The bumpy sound comes from the HTML5 Audio implementation. I didn't have the time to find a workaround, but I wanted to finish the game instead.

There is a nice idea behind these not really appealing aesthetics. With help of a musician and an artist it could be actually pretty fun.

Admit it - you did this just to show off your mad ukulele skillz. =)

Cool idea. The music samples can overlap which is cool in some cases but a little annoying if you advance the level. I'd have them cut off if the player advances.

Nice work.

Not sure how to pass the first level. Probably I didn't read the instruction carefully?

This game is nice and relaxing.

Very cool game :-)

Good music game. Might be tough if someone is not familiar with some of these tunes though but I guess they are all pretty well recognizable.

Eddie, that you? :p
Nice, like the audio idea, good choice :)

A brilliant music idea!

Fun game! Not sure if this is a bug: you can make your arrangement, hit "play song" realize it's wrong, change the order, and if you do it before it's done playing the song, it'll count as a win. I like the mechanic to spend points to get hints. I didn't use it until I realized I should in order to judge the game, because even on the songs I didn't recognize, there's still enough musical and sound cues to get it right.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. No really, it is my first ludum dare and I know this is technically far from beeing perfect. But I had only about 12 Hours to spend and I wanted to have a running game no matter if it has some glitches. Thank you for playing and having fun.

Adorable! Brilliant idea, excelent concept and well implemented! It would make an great mobile game, you should try to move ahead with it :)

Awesome idea for a game! I could definitely see myself playing this on the train ride home on my ipod or something.

Cute little puzzle game. It's great to use my ears for once in one of these entries. I like it!

Nice! I liked this.

Very cool idea, could be even longer!

This is a fantastic little game, enjoyable and relaxing. Could see it expanded into something bigger.

Nice little music game. It would be cool to expand this with matching graphics to each song, throw it on mobile, and let the kiddos play it.
NMcCoy28 Aug 2013, 08:05
Neat game, and as someone else mentioned, I think there's potential to turn this into something bigger.

As some1 said, nice little game for kids developing musical hearing. Not for me though.

This is a really good idea, but the execution could be better, especially in player feedback, general "juiciness" and graphics. If you overcome these issues the game could indeed become something bigger!

Neat music game, refreshing to see something different!

I always love seeing a completely original idea.

This could be a cool learning tool, really sweet idea!

I had no idea what the last song was and brute forced it haha but otherwise I really enjoyed it. Under the hood nice and simple js, only what was needed so you execution is good! Cool fun game.

Very cool! Haven't seen anything like it on here. Fun and simple.
Taiters31 Aug 2013, 21:22
Cool idea. I enjoyed this one, though after level 3ish I was struggling haha!
theholychicken1 Sep 2013, 22:07
If I had a kid I'll definitely let him play this game.
The more difficult songs are actually pretty nice puzzles. Relaxing and interesting game.
Great job!

Very nice, only the short pauses between tracks disrupt a bit but very funny otherwise. Something different. I like it.

I couldn't hear any audio on the web version.

That bass intro is cool.
It was a nice way to implement the theme, and the game was fun. If you can do it, it could be a good thing to stop playing sounds when a new button is pressed to avoid multiple sounds.
Scored 87, I didn't know the last one.

Nice music game :) It requires familiarity with the songs, but I think original music composed considering the game mechanic can work even better.

Seems interesting, but couldn't pass the first level!

I thought this was absolutely fantastic :) Great idea! A stop button for the current playing sound would be nice, but overall a fantastic game!
Jarcas Studios13 Sep 2013, 18:35
Cool, but I had the hardest time with the last one even with all the hints (I didn't know the song at all). I guess the problem was that since each slice was made right between notes, they felt more or less interchangeable since I didn't know the melody. I like your hint system.
