Symphony of the night by FoxFiesta

[raw]
made by FoxFiesta for LD31 (COMPO)
This game takes place in a room.
That's how I dealt with the "theme". I was quite limited by RPG Maker. I should learn to code.
You'll need sound, arrow keys, and a spacebar. You don't need to be able to read. Also, if you prefer when things are fast, you can use shift.
My primary goal was to set an atmosphere, and to try some color combinations I never used.

Really atmospheric, with good sound and graphics that complement everything nicely.

Really nice color pallet and I loved the sound puzzles. This could almost be used as an ear training tool. Really nice job.

I really liked this game. The pixel graphics were well designed despite their simplicity, music puzzles are a nice change, and all the elements were put together really well to establish a mood.

Some minor issues I had, some of the sounds are really close, so perhaps designing puzzles that are clearer mathematically (ie. uses notes that are clearly either above or below the previous notes) could help people with a bad ear for tone matching. Also, the path for guiding the bird from the bed becomes really hard to see where it crosses over the pannel of sky. Perhaps using a higher contrast colour for the path could have helped avoid some ambiguity (I thought the bird was going to fly out through the floor the first time).

Apart from those, I had a great time with this game!

Clean graphics! Really interesting take on the theme by combining two worlds. However, my ear stinks and I couldn't pass the 3rd puzzle. Would something visual to tie along with the sound ruin it? Perhaps each of the note blocks could have a different symbol and the bird could play those shapes.

Smart thinking to name files as the directions! I may use this idea for any distributions I make :D

If you have difficulties distinguishing notes, here's some help: http://i.imgur.com/JvJpTQL.png

The idea of birds playing shapes is interesting though, thank you!

Although i literally hate music puzzles in general, this is nicely done. Respect for your work here. I struggled a little bit with the last part, but other than that i have nothing to complain about. Great entry!

Hi there, pretty good entry overall. Imo the controls are a bit unclear (not sure what you are facing all the time). I did't really like the drawing but I did enjoy the animations ! The enigma are very goods. Thanks for the game !
