I had no plans on doing this jam but really liked the theme and ended up making a game I'm pretty happy with.

Sound control puts you in the role of controlling people using sound. Adjust the sound to make people do all kinds of crazy things. From raving to zombies, sound can be a powerful tool. Make sure your citizens stay happy and health and see how many you can control at one time. Or just see how fast you can kill them!!

The power is in your hands, will you be the monster?

Interesting take on the theme. The concept is awesome and ambitious.

Metal + noise sounds nice.

Nonetheless, Noise music is one of my favorite genres I'm glad you like it.

Ok, I'll be honest and say I don't see exactly where the theme fits here but HOLY MOTHER this is fun. Like, man, you made my day!

Music is great, but I can't see how the game fits the theme. Nonetheless, it's an interesting concept, although there isn't much interactivity. Graphics could definitely use more work.

P.S. Why's dubstep labeled as "Noise"?

overall I really liked this game....it was fun to try to make them do stuff (danced rob to death)... really neat idea, really enjoyed it!

Very interesting concept, and well designed game. I had a good time playing it, thanks!

Really fun way to interpret the theme :)

I like the concept, it could be interesting a more developed version of this ^^

MaesK24 Aug 2015, 22:13

Interesting idea, a bit hard to get the result you want, bit is quite original. Nice work.

Interesting game concept. Good job!

Vaida24 Aug 2015, 22:16

I really, really liked the concept! It's fun to mess around with. The little death descriptions are funny, and the stickmen dance in the silliest of ways; though the graphics could have been improved a bit. :p

Left this game open for a minute while I read the description and came back to someone being beaten to death. Great game, very creative.

Great idea for a game, and the idea of music sliders was awesome! I didn't exactly get how to control people but I saw a bunch of different character states by just playing around with sliders and watching the people beat each other to death. It definitely made me laugh and kept a great mood.

I don't really know what's happening, but there are sliders so I have to move them, all of them d(·-·)b

Great concept and audio!!
Make me like a DJ that controls minds.

Nice theme using!

RiverAndRun26 Aug 2015, 15:41

Wow this game is fun! Actually quite like the stickman graphics.

bitdecaygames26 Aug 2015, 17:10

I just danced everyone to death every time. Other than the couple times one stickman would punch another to death. Not really sure how it all works. Interesting idea though.

adsilcott27 Aug 2015, 11:59

What a neat concept! I like the way the music blends together, and making them dance.

Jupiter_Hadley29 Aug 2015, 15:47

Wasnt sure what to really do, but I really had fun making them dance! I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/L1fCW_I8xho

A unique and unexpected take on the theme. Thought it was pretty funny. Kind of wished the music generation system was more sophisticated to create different kind of music, but it's acceptable as it is right now.
