Drag the shape towards any cardinal direction to start.

This is an interactive sculpture, really just a toy. Sound is a huge part of the experience so don't play it deaf if you can help it. Unfortunately the seams are because the three.js geometry utilities aren't perfect...but mostly because I didn't have enough time to fix them.

By the power of HTML5, this game will run on anything: If your phone can handle it the experience is much better on a mobile browser.

Music created with LSDJ on a Gameboy Color.

ps. after watching some people play it, and after seeing feedback in the comments (shoutouts to you ponk), I made some slight adjustments to how the input is handled. If you absolutely must play the original version, bite me.

Nice ! The controls are interesting. Dragging out the shape feels good, but selecting a new shape is a bit counter-intuitive. I was trying to drag the shape to the center.
But anyway, cool toy :)

I found this very interesting and played it for far longer than I should have. I liked the ones with voices and colour the most.

Okay, that was really cool!

Nice toy, good work on design & feel ! The audio evolving mechanics was cool too. However, a bit frustrated that the possibilities didn't seem that infinite after all.

Sound Design is incredible! I like how the sound is very part of the game. . . I love Chiptune, too. Great Work! I'd check the sync between motion and the beat of the music.

Overall very nice. Require a bit fiddeling to find out what you can do. Took me some time to realize that draging to different edges give different effects.

Kudos to also to work towards mobile. Not so much for it being mobile, but for going a bit outside the box of computer based web games and do things different. Lot of interesting possibilities there. In my entry I used geolocation to create a game to be played outdoor.

One of my favorites so far. Very cool.

I actually still had a lot of fun with this for a non-game. Just trying to fidget around with the right shape was neat!
mutonizer20 Apr 2016, 06:18
Awesome take on the theme. Fascinating to play around with!

My only grip was that some of the beats were cringy sound wise but otherwise it was a great experience.

One of the most original, on theme and fascinating entry so far! Kudos :)

While I wouldn't really call this a game, i did enjoy playing around with it. Very innovative take on the theme!

Congratulations! Great generative music+shape experience. :D

Nice! feels like making a minimalist music video of shapes within while I mess around the figures.

Pretty cool! Really enjoyed the concept but would've liked some more gameplay.

Great concept and use of theme.

Yes, it's just a toy. But, what a good toy ! I spent time searching every shape I could find and trying to understand the way that the shape affects the music, so, it's a kind of exploration game, with an innovative concept. Good job. :)
silkworm_sweatshop6 May 2016, 22:18
Pretty fun to play around with and great music. Best non-game entry perhaps :p.
nhojrekrap9 May 2016, 17:36
loving the music and graphics synced up!
oparisy9 May 2016, 19:25
Hey, those shapes, they shift! Nice experiment, cool to see some three.js.

Innovative toy! Was fun to mess around on. Great job!
