Ah, a game for synth nerds! Unfortunately I don't know much about audio but I'm a math nerd instead, so I could intuit visually what each setting did, I ended up playing the game just with my eyes instead of my ears. I managed to play up to the second level without help, but once we had 4 different wave shapes it got absurdly difficult for me.
Things I liked:
- Completely new concept! So far I'm loving how experimental everyone is being on this game jam, and you did not disappoint on this front. I like that you committed to the concept, bold games like this are becoming rare.
- Was that a full blown synth at the end? That must have taken tons of work and I can't help but admire that, good job!
Things I thought could be better:
- It was too difficult for me. If it wasn't for the endless help button I wouldn't have finished it, and having that button is kinda like not committing in a sense, right? Maybe a nice tutorial that would ease these concepts in would turn players into synth nerds midway into the game?
- I didn't find out if I could turn off the audio or know which one I was listening to, or how many at the same time I was listening to (if that was even possible). Giving more indication to what was being played and being able to more clearly turn it on/off would have been incredibly helpful. This was one of the reasons I gave up on playing with my ears to be honest.
