I loved how the notes of the waves are in sync with the music. Nice waves and use of sound for the theme. I got only 80 points though, which is really small.

Very cool, would have loved to see some procedural generation in there :D, amazing work for 48 hours. (I don't know shit about audio programming ;( )

I'm loving all these games with musical elements this time around.

Fun concept. I feel like there's a lot of different ways you could go with expanding the mechanics (procgen, puzzles, enemies, etc). Good work.

Nyrox: The wave sounds are "procedural" generated, but yeah it's not really noticeable.

Docjekyll: Thanks! Yeah, my original idea was to allow more modifications to the sounds and add different elements, but the time was just too short.

audio > graphics amirite?
I liked the puzzle element, but i don't like how it penalizes for clicking the wrong note as I tend to make sounds to match the music.

It's cool to see somebody that have a procedural synth in it's game! You should make a 32k game for this LD32 !

pikmin4000: I'm not good at art, but for that it's not even *that* bad. :D
I didn't think about that. I guess, I could remove the penalty.

lamogui: What exactly do you mean with 32k game? As in 32k demo?

Well, as you know, I really like your game. The procedural sound idea is great. Just too bad you hadn't time to do the frequency modification part, but I guess it ould be a nice future upgrade. I can't do as good scores as you did in the stream :o

Oh man, this was cool. I'm dumb and didn't actually realize that you gave me the symbols on the button icons at the bottom until my third run through, I was just trying to memorize them, LOL! Fun puzzle game, was trying to keep beating my high scores.

I have never done a demo, but it would have been a fun challenge indeed. :)

Very interesting Game! Though the focus is on audio, the graphics seemed unappealing at first.

Yeah, I'm really not good at graphics, but thanks for giving it a shot regardless! :)

Nice game, would appreciate if it was a little bit harder, but it's very satisfying to play the sound sync to the music :-)

I'm sure there's a lot room for optimization to make things harder while balancing the score better.
Thanks for the testing and commenting! :)
