You list windows release on this page, but there isn't one on your github page. I did try your game out in Unity though and it was fun as hell yelling random stuff at my little laptop and watching things appear :smile:.

Very interesting concept, not sure what I was suppose to do other than shout at my computer. Then again, I guess that was kinda the point :)

I had my microphone not set up correctly so I had to scream and shout for stuff to appear at first which made it more humorous then it might have intended to be :D Great artwork and very creative idea for gameplay! ^^

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the more unique games I play this jam. Very well done and the art has a lot of charm.

By the way, how does the game decide which symbol to generate? It's not just based on volume, right? Because I definitely got some different results for each fret on my guitar.

Thanks for bringing this to the stream! What an amazing concept. I'm super impressed. This is beautiful. I had trouble mapping my sounds exactly onto the consequences, but still managed to get to the end with a little uke song.

@niterich the game detects pitch to determine the symbol. Thanks for asking!

I was expecting a game where we were creating music, in the end I didn't understand the purpose of the game, the goal to achieve? Otherwise the graphics are really beautiful, the neon style is very good and originality level, it's great, especially the idea of using the microphone to play. Musicality would have been welcome;)

I love the concept! I'm not really sure what I'm really doing in the world other than making objects appear, but it's really fun and interesting nonetheless! Great idea :D

I love this - this is a piece of art! Well done on graphics, audio and gameplay!

I think making achievements get a bit more in your face would move this more towards being a game, for an example of I what mean: you just sung a murderer into being, hey you can try to get the murder achievement by singing a victim into being... and then once he's done murder you can bring justice by getting rid of the murderer with your Zeus powers.

Wow, I really love this, it made me take my lute to plays some Blind Guardian, Estatic Fear and original songs. Here's the world I made:

The main idea is amazing and the graphics are fantastic. Well done!
