Hello! Just letting you know the third jam has been announced and would love if you participated again since your entry was so amazing!

I just wanted to say how amazing this game was! Due to getting under 10 ratings (probably because of game pad requirement) Itch automatically adjusted down your scores so you didn't win. But I hope you're proud of it because everyone who played found it an amazing experience and I hope you keep working on it! 

Developer

Thank you <3

I'll definitely keep working on this! I hope to be able to get some funding for it!

Doesn't work on my Windows 11 PC. It starts and the basic melody is there, but nothing happens when I press a key.

It requires a game controller. I put that info on the game's page and in the included instructions text file, but it's possible to miss that. I unfortunately did not have the ability to post that info on this page, except as a comment.

Great use of audio and a controller. I love how changing the chords with the face buttons affected the scale of the arps and synth you get with the left stick. Like others said the chill vibe of the music is great and no matter what you press you always get a musically pleasing result!

Developer

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

I love this. I don't play any instrument, this makes it possible for me to create beautiful music. It's very relaxing. 

Any chance for an Android version? I would really love to be able to play this before sleep on my tablet or phone.

Developer

Currently no Android version is planned. I'd have to change a lot about how to interact with the song to make that work. I'd totally like it to exist tho!

This is such a great chill lo-fi beats generator, and it generates much-appreciated fractal patterns to match what you play. All I could think about was how the heck the code is doing this magic.

Ah, yeah, I had to build my own music software to make this work. I've probably spent a total of two years on the software. Apart from Mystery Artifact, I've also used it for the music in my games Uurnog and Ynglet.

Very fun little jam session, I quite enjoyed playing along, and ended up doing so for longer than expected!
