As a non music person I found it fairly difficult after the first few levels but I like your interpretation of the theme and the style of the game
Quite an interesting puzzle 'ish game !
Even if I got some music experience in my young age, It was quite hard and after the tutorial
quind of unforgiving to reset all notes when you have 5 ones to place, and when you hit all above 98% exept one, and having to redo all them ...
Nice take, I enjoyed it !
I love being reminded that I have good ears 💅👀 Minimalist aesthetic was spot-on!
Successfully doing hard levels on the first try was insanely satisfying. Tryharding the ones where I got stuck was a bit more tedious ^^' I ended up finding the first and last notes by comparing with the sample, and then placing the scale in-between them.
I wish notes with 99% accuracy would stay on the board without reseting as a reward for at least finding one, maybe?
Had fun anyway, congrats! ✨
Liked the musical interpretation of the theme, and the detail of playing notes when hovering over the title. It looses some of the challenge if you already know the scales, and you can hear the off notes bending a bit, but still a very nice little game!
(Also please use linear scaling for the volume bar, it almost blew off my ears xD)
Fun concept and kept me engaged for a while! Bit of jank when dragging the notes right after hearing the demo, the sound is repeating a bit or something.
Seems slightly too easy, as you can hear the notes being bent when they’re not in the perfect place, which makes it kind of too easy to hear when it’s in the wrong place, compared to if it was a real untuned piano for example.
Still, love the idea and executing, well done :)
This one was very interesting! Love to see other people go with the musical scales interpretation. Well done!
Pretty cool and simple game! Very challenging though at the later scales.
this game actually look very good and handles well. great work!
This was such a cool concept, with a simple and elegant execution. The fact that re-listening resets the spheres is _very_ unforgiving, but was still really fun to play. Great stuff!
Really polished game! It can be challenging in the most advanced levels. Had a good time with this game!
What a great and polished game ! Congrats, love it !
A fellow music game maker! This is a fun game, very clean aesthetics, although I'd say it's quite difficult. Until a player builds an intuition for the spacing of the notes, it's mostly a working memory task. In fact it actually reminds me of a lot of perceptual tasks that cognitive scientists use. Well done pulling it off and creating an engaging tool for visualizing notes in different scales!
Interesting game. I like how you implemented theme.
Great job !
Good job, clean take on the theme
