Sound Shift by Andy_Voz

[raw]
made by Andy_Voz for LD35 (COMPO)
Hi, I'm Andy and I'd like to present you my first LD game – Sound Shift.

Rules are simple:

1.The Game generates chord, which consists of three sounds.
2.You can listen it by clicking on the black play button.
3.You can change chord by clicking on button with arrow.
4.You have 10 soundballs.
5.You should transfer 3 soundballs into cells to make a chord.
6.You can listen, what you got by clicking on white play button.
7.If your chord will be the same as generated chord, congrats! :)

Then Sound Shift automatically generates another chord. Good luck! :)

I'm surprised by how interesting this game is to play despite quite a very original take on shape shifting. Great if you're already musically inclined

It was hard because of my awful musical abilities, but game is definitely great!

Useful to train the ear. But hard to the uninitiated like me.

I get this exception: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application" running the .jar

Apparently javafx is runnable in openJDK but in my case, it is not :(

keyboardmonkey, I think you can try to update java and OpenJDK. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

An original concept, and very enjoyable to play!

If you are considering making a post-compo version, I would suggest that you enhance the "win detection" logic, so it does not matter in which order the soundballs are placed :-) Also, it could be useful to be able to listen to a "partially constructed" chord.

You could even add labels to the soundballs and target chord (and maybe even give the name of a "wrong" chord as feedback), thereby making it into a simple edutainment game :-D

Really quite hard for the untrained ear and without the notes on each blob, it is even harder! I like it though. Good work!

cool Idea. Though it is quite hard (at least for someone who only knows how to play drums) to check if it is the correct chord. Well implemented though and nice sound samples!

I loved it, although there is not much to do, i enjoyed playing around with the notes one by one and making those 3

Way too hard! Maybe begin with easier levels?

I so wish I could play this!

I won't rate you overall because I can't tell how good the game is if you know how to play it, best of luck.
