Very simple but fun game! Good job!

Good job!

How to approach level 2? 'Play Song' seems not to work, even if the keys are in correct order.

However, this is a great listening exercise and would love to try more complex songs... Keep developing :)

Developer

Hey! I've just uploaded a version of the game that does something when you press play song.
The idea is that you have to put the keys in the path of the flying note symbol.

Submitted

Ah nice. Fand es allerdings besser den song vorher nicht zu hören und es selbst rauszufinden durch hören. Man könnte aber versch. Schwierigkeitsgrade anbieten

In general i like the idea of a piano which has to get fixed, however as someone with no musical ear this goal is hard to accomplish. 

I have no idea what i'm doing, randomly clicking sometimes lets the cricle go away...

Developer

Hi! I just updated the game, so now the play song button actually plays the notes.
You have to put the notes in the correct order of the song and let them be hit in that order by the note symbol that's moving across the screen.

yeah, nah, still not getting it. Maybe this game is only suited for people who play piono, idk...

Cool idea, but I don't really know what I'm doing :( 

Developer

Totally understandable! You have to order the keys from left to right in the order of the song that's displayed on top.

The keys also have to be hit by the note symbol that's going back and forth im bottom.

I didn’t know how the melody works because I couldn’t hear it, but I just saw the description under the post. Do you mind uploading the correct version somewhere so I can play it, or do you have a reference video showing which notes I need to play?

Hey! Once the jam is over I'll update this version with the less bugged one I have locally. Then you'll be able to at least listen to the song.

Submitted

Great I will check it out

Developer

Hi! As promised I've just uploaded the version of the game that works as intended. Hope it gives you 5 minutes of enjoyment!

Submitted

Hi, just played it worked perfectly nice ;)

Submitted

Cool game :) But I had to look up Europahymne, I think it would be cool if you had a chance to listen to the songs.

Developer

Hi Burgerdawg, thanks for the Feedback! I've just uploaded the version of the game how it was supposed to work and you can now hear the song. Hope you had a great jam!

Submitted

I don't know much about music, but it was easy to figure out. Cool game idea :D

Cool idea based on the theme! Lacks some QoL and polish but the core idea is solid, can imagine it fleshing out really nicely

Submitted(+1)

Sehr originelle Idee! Cool das das klappt, auch wenn man sich sehr wenig mit Musik auskennt die Lieder nachzubauen.

Hab dumm lange gebraucht rauszufinden, dass ich die Keys nach unten legen muss damit das abspielt - aber top cooles kleines Jam-Game!

Developer

Dankeschön und Glückwunsch zum zweiten Platz in den Userscores!

Awesome idea, as a piano player I totally love it! The first two songs I knew, at the third I was lost. Would be perhaps helpful to mark the beginning and ending tones in a different color, or add some help tooltips. Other than that it's really cool, a little bit of polishing and maybe more art and that would be a nice game also for non-musicians.

Thanks a lot for your kind comment! The feedback is really appreciated!

simple, but really nice!
