Unfortunately FIREFOX has a problem with clicking audio. Play in Chrome/Chromium to have an undisturbed experience !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: A lot of people got stuck on the first level. That is a sign of me being too secretive. I wanted to keep the game as mysterious as possible but I didn't make the first level intuitive enough... SPOILERS: To pass the level you need to match the rhythm of the sound. In the end it means you have to hold your mouse for a certain amount of time. In the first level knock on the door and then hold the singing slider so that it makes this sound: "_...". That means holding it for approx. half a second. If you fail (and the door shut) you can train holding the button. When you feel ready knock on the door and try again.
headphones recommended! use mouse to control - click and hold to sing. progress is saved automatically.
Lyrebird is a musical toy/experience. Your goal is to communicate with procedurally generated creatures. Every creature has a different voice but fortunately you have the ability to shape yours! Use this advantage to make contact with those mysterious beings...
I really enjoyed the simple graphics, paired with the door animation! It's incredibly challenging, but I like that it gives you time to "rehearse" your performance
Super neat. Not sure how you pull off the matching, but it's cool. Interface was mysterious and felt like knowing secret codes once I made it to a new control.
I love the idea, but i couldn' even finish the first one. I thought i had the correct sound (not moving, simply hitting the right note and hold it there) but it never continued :( Very creative idea though.
@Larzan: Thank you for pointing out what got you stuck! I guess that the matching is a bit baffling - the main goal in starting levels is to match the rhythm of the sound. In the end it means to hold the mouse for a right amount of time... I guess a lot of people thought that you should match the pitch and I cannot blame them for it. I wanted it to be mysterious but this way I lost a lot of players on the first level...
So if you want to try other levels, do this: In the first level, hold the singing slider for approx. half a second so it rhytmically looks like this: " _ ... " (one long and three shorts)
I really liked this. My ears are not the sharp so I had to try a few times to get past the levels. I'd never thought of shapeshifting this ways. Well done!
I couldn't make the sound play on the first level. I had the note right and I had the circle pulsing at the right speed but it wouldn't make the sound everytime the inner circle pulsed.
