Ripple

Ripple

A procedural musical composition art game.

The goal is to be creative and continually come up with new sounds with delay and feedback.

These sounds are to prevent the inevitability of silence.

Screens

Controls

To start, click the mysterious object in the center of the screen.
This will become your cursor.

Click Left Mouse Button and release to create a sound or ripple.

Holding Left Mouse Button and moving around will also release sounds.

The faster you move the mouse the more complex the sounds will be.

You have a limited number of ripples you can create at one time. Some symbols can increase this max number.

Use the scroll wheel to change the shape.

Different shapes produces different sounds.

Pressing space will also cycle through the different shapes.

Press escape to quit to desktop.

Symbols

There are many symbols in this world that will periodically fly into your space. When a ripple hits one of these objects each one will react in their own way. You are encouraged to discover these behaviors on your own.

For those who do not wish to discover on their own...

- ☿ - Replicates the sound as lower and slower.
- 🜔 - Destroys sound.
- 🜍 - Replicates the sound as noise.
- ♄ - Replicates sound behind with short life span and destroys existing sounds.
- ♃ - Replicates multiple short lived with intermittent noise and destroys existing sounds.
- 🜜 - Destroys 25% of existing sounds. Self destructs with noise.
- ⊙ - Replicates all shapes. Adds 5 to max shapes.
- ☽ - Replicates as 3 different shapes. Adds 3 to max shapes.
- 🜠 - Replicates sound as new shape. Adds 1 to max shapes.

When silence comes a bright light will fade into view. Too much silence will end the game.

Notes and Recommendations:

I have uploaded the WebGL version for those who just want to get a taste of the experience. However, due to limitations with Unity's audio and what is currently supported in browser, it is HIGHLY recommended that you download the Windows version.

I also highly recommend playing this in a full screen window with a good pair of headphones.

So recommendations:
- Windows version
- Full screen
- Good pair of headphones
