You are in a world where all music is hidden, floating in space.
Your goal is to bring the beauty of music back into this lifeless universe.
You must guide your ship through space, creating a beautiful soundscape along the way.

This is my first Ludum Dare Submission, made in construct 2, I hope you enjoy and give me feedback on how to improve it! :)

I like the idea of music interacting with the game, I just wish that the loop was longer and that the game was less simple. It's good for what it is, though.

Short game but I did enjoy the gradual incrementation of the audio. Nice.

Really nice idea with adding tracks to the music as you progressed! I liked the music, especially the part at the end, but maybe the loop could be a bit longer.

The idea of adding music throughout the game is nice. There is however a bug: you can use the arrow keys to move the collectibles and obstacles.

Thanks for all of the feedback! I'm surprised I didn't notice that bug before. I've uploaded a fixed version now, because that's pretty game breaking lol

Sounds good, which I guess was the main objective here. The background song getting more intense as the game gets faster was a good way to make it seem even faster. It's relatively simple on the gameplay side and I wish the surroundings would adapt a bit to the player collecting those song bubbles.

Nice. Reminds me of Bit Trip Runner for some reason, although it's nothing like it :P Aaaanyway, really nice track, love how it builds up.

Only issue I had is that after you pick up a Green ball, you can't pick up another green ball until 'Track Unlocked' stops being displayed. I guess it's not a bug, since the music would advance too quickly, but it was a little annoying as I'd always get 2 balls in quick succession and wanted to grab 'em!

love the idea of getting new tracks of the music, collisions not working good right before getting a new track. nice game.

Wow, I really love this idea! I found myself really wanting to see how the music would develop. I really hope you keep working on this because you have something really promising here. One thing though. This game would be WAAAAAYYY better if the new track started playing as soon as you picked it up. I'm guessing you know this and tried to make it that way but found difficulty making the track start in the middle. I don't know contruct 2 but if they let you adjust the volumes for individual tracks in your game, I would advise you to start the game with all tracks playing but with their volume at 0. Then turning tracks on when you pick one up is as simple as setting the volume to 100.

The music as a reward is great, but the frequency of the green orbs appearing is slow. It felt a bit like a waiting game to me.

Pretty good work on the graphics but it's sadly a bit framy and you can't collect green orbs while you have the "New track discovered" message displayed, which is a bit frustrating ^^ But GG, keep doing games ;)
