I guess that the matching is a bit baffling - the main goal in starting levels is to match the rhythm of the sound. In the end it means to hold the mouse for a right amount of time... I guess a lot of people thought that you should match the pitch and I cannot blame them for it. I wanted it to be mysterious but this way I lost a lot of players on the first level...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So if you want to try other levels, do this: In the first level, hold the singing slider for approx. half a second so it rhytmically looks like this: &quot; _ ... &quot; (one long and three shorts)"},{"author_name":"LOSTALLOY","author_uid":"87699","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 7:23am","epoch":1461482280,"text":"I really liked this.

That is a sign of me being too secretive. I wanted to keep the game as mysterious as possible but I didn't make the first level intuitive enough... \r\nSPOILERS: To pass the level you need to match the rhythm of the sound. In the end it means you have to hold your mouse for a certain amount of time. In the first level knock on the door and then hold the singing slider so that it makes this sound: \"_...\". That means holding it for approx. half a second. If you fail (and the door shut) you can train holding the button. When you feel ready knock on the door and try again.\r\n\r\n\r\nheadphones recommended!\r\nuse mouse to control - click and hold to sing.\r\nprogress is saved automatically.\r\n\r\n\r\nLyrebird is a musical toy\/experience. Your goal is to communicate with procedurally generated creatures. Every creature has a different voice but fortunately you have the ability to shape yours! Use this advantage to make contact with those mysterious beings...\r\n\r\nBeating the game unlocks a sandbox mode.\r\n\r\nUsed tools\/technologies:\r\n- javascript, WebAudio, HTML5\r\n- Phaser.io\r\n- Audacity\r\n- Gimp\r\n- Baudline (for sound analysis)","title":"Lyrebird"}
