I'm proud to present you my second entry.

It's kind of a music game. I hope you enjoy it.
You have to bring all children back to their mother.

Features:
- Always new melodies everytime you play the game
- Procedurally generated music, never the same
- Sing to gain trust
- You can use the game as a simple ear training program :)

Tip: When you mastered the game, just let your browser window open, catch a good drink and listen a bit to the music. After this busy weekend, I'm doing exactly that ;)

Oh this idea is great. If a bit difficult, though.

Xgor26 Aug 2013, 13:28

Interesting idea, Still I can't beat any of the challenge how much I try so I can't really rate it.

Nice! Love everything that involves indepth music usage. The problem is that i brought one child back, and nothing happened. And graphics could use a little bit of touch.

I love the idea ! But I think I have bad ears so this is too difficult for me :p

@all: Hi there, thanks for the reply as a bugfix I changed the hero's singing voice to a bit more prominent instrument, now it is easier to beat.

@CustomPhase: You have to catch them all ;)

Cool idea, I really like the mood of this game!

Nice idea, just wish I could work out what notes the little things were playing.

Omnus26 Aug 2013, 15:51

Cool! I managed to beat it once I figured out which notes were mapped to which keys.

kunzbeauthor26 Aug 2013, 15:53

@Omnus: Great :) I'm happy to here that. I hope you enjoyed the harmonies at the end :)

This was great, a bit difficult but I completed it :D Great work!

gratz!

Interesting idea , but reproducing the song is a bit too hard in my opinion :(

juaxix26 Aug 2013, 19:15

Love the music, my ear is not so good xD

Diogo Muller26 Aug 2013, 19:17

Very creative, cool idea. My listening skills are not very good, so sometimes I had to use trial and error, but enjoyed it. :)

skarab26 Aug 2013, 19:36

Wow, stunning idea. Me and gf failed to reproduce melodies (hard to know because of ears, and source/voices differences). But it sounds really good, and visuals/mood are nice too. Congrats!

Wonderful idea.

Afal26 Aug 2013, 20:40

I like the idea but it's tricky as heck.

Joxno26 Aug 2013, 23:49

Bloody difficult but awesome at the same time

bonsairobo27 Aug 2013, 02:17

This was fun! I'd suggesting adding a bit of difficulty by not letting the blobs sing the tune before you accept the challenge.

senseidav27 Aug 2013, 09:52

Very good prupose, only must know its a little difficult to listen the notes with that synthe.

Kragnir28 Aug 2013, 00:29

The singing part was very difficult for me. Like the idea.

Great idea! I'm not very good at it, though. It's a cute story and cool that the music is different every time.

Really like the idea, I love anything with music especially playing music. I wish there was more to the music than the Simon says gameplay, but still really neat. Enemies have a Yoshi's Island vibe.
