Friend it doesn't work for me. I got just a black screen :(

Louisload7 Dec 2014, 00:10

I only got a black screen too :-(

Linux download seems to point to OS X.

Wakkaauthor7 Dec 2014, 17:52

Thank you for your Feedback, the wrong links and the black screen issue are fixed now.

Znurre7 Dec 2014, 19:04

Nice, Linux download is working now.
Cool idea, but hard to make good music :D

A puzzle to hard for me, I'm staying with the two item. I don't understand what to do (I'm so stupid ??)

Wakkaauthor8 Dec 2014, 13:16

@davidB no it's not your fault. But it is possible to finish the game even when the music is not sounding good ;-)

Smiley8 Dec 2014, 17:01

really nice idea.. somehow I managed to loop something into another loop and I got 100s of "pulses" which crashed the game.

CustomPhase8 Dec 2014, 17:02

This is amazing. As a musician a have a soft spot for anything related to music, and also procedural generation. I found this a lot of fun. Puzzle element are fitting superb.
p.s. works fine for me, no black screen or any other problem

Insality8 Dec 2014, 17:02

awesome, i love the music games ;]

pixzleone8 Dec 2014, 17:04

Very cool idea!

Eponesh8 Dec 2014, 17:04

Greate game! I placed the converted into two points element so close to the other two and the game freezes, later browser freezes.

Tonasz8 Dec 2014, 17:07

Hah, I love the idea. Nice mix of puzzle to solve and sandbox to release your creativity! I even spent some time trying to compose something after unlocking everything and catchy tune is playing in the background right now :)

Andrea8 Dec 2014, 17:08

Amazing idea for a puzzle! I only wish they were more different sounds so that you could enjoy the music a bit more once it gets complicated.

daviosmash8 Dec 2014, 17:08

Nice game. Would have liked a bit more freedom as to the types of sounds, but the flow and pace was fun, and it was music, for sure. Good game.

Harsay8 Dec 2014, 17:09

That was an interesting experience.

Asado8 Dec 2014, 17:10

It's a cool idea, but there's really not much to it and it could use some more guidance or some kind of "score", I dunno. But overall, pretty cool.

FerraWare9 Dec 2014, 00:48

Wow, I really like the concept of a music-puzzle game, never had thought of it :P You might want to add an in-game mini tutorial explaining the dragging, as I took a while to figure it out. One of the best I've seen

TriSquare9 Dec 2014, 22:34

This Game. But i found a bug where your music looped over it self. other than that you got a good rating from me :)

solarexplorer9 Dec 2014, 22:36

Awesome.

floorman9 Dec 2014, 23:02

Really nice idea, had quite a lot of fun with this. quite unique!

Elemental Zeal Games Studios10 Dec 2014, 00:35

This was fun to play around in, nice job!

rincewind_cz10 Dec 2014, 03:07

Good puzzle game! Very innovative at least for me. I think that this could be actually extended to some real music making software.

I've made music in the end!

perfect victim10 Dec 2014, 14:16

cool game

pjimmy10 Dec 2014, 14:51

beautiful, very creative, well done :)

Indiestry10 Dec 2014, 14:55

Awesome! Reminds me a bit of Sound Shapes Art and sound-wise

zulubo10 Dec 2014, 15:01

Really fun! love the challenge of fitting all the notes together. Would be cool to have rotatable notes too

Dokthar10 Dec 2014, 15:02

Very good "game". I regret that we just can play 4 notes.

mrexcessive11 Dec 2014, 12:18

Hi there. Really like your game. I think you should emphasise that player needs to drag the things so they all get used to move to next level/item. Great sound elements, nice design: splitters, repeaters, etc. Very cool!

egos11 Dec 2014, 13:54

really nice concept . Just a doubt on the final objective maybe the only one is try make music in this way its very hard

Good job

Gemberkoekje11 Dec 2014, 16:49

This.. I loathe to call it 'game', cause it's really more of a tool,

IS AWESOME.
As soon as you understand what's going on, and see that you can drag and drop the items.
A bit of a tutorial or tooltip would be nice, but other than that, great effort. Even if it isn't really a game ;)

Geckoo133712 Dec 2014, 06:41

Ok! Now it works and it works fine. I like this puzzle game even though I cannot figure out what I should do. There is something to do with this concept. Thank you for your comment about my game ++

"Failure to download data file" for web version :< It won't let me download the Windows version, either, because the "website is not available"!

mklee13 Dec 2014, 06:55

There's a really clever idea here! The revealing of additional pieces that you need to add into your musical contraption is a neat mechanic that deserves to be explored even further. Great job on the audio also, the entire thing is terrific for just 8 hours of work!

Demy13 Dec 2014, 09:09

Awesome game

Riocide15 Dec 2014, 09:00

Great idea! Really like it! Only thing annoying is that new samples spawn in my already made chain - which disrupts the musical process a bit..but I really love this idea...take it further!

asobitech16 Dec 2014, 14:27

abstract "game" nicely done though.

TyrusPeace20 Dec 2014, 19:57

At first I thought this was going to just be a synth toy, but the desire to get a new piece by using all of the previous ones each time kept me amused and interested the whole time! I probably experimented with loops and other tricks more than I would have otherwise because of that, too. Nice :).
