How does your game fit the theme?
Tracking down the hideout of a once mighty musicians, you are standing in front of a closed door. From behind the door, you hear music playing.
Now, you are wondering what you might find there and how to enter this place?
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for the menu (however also adapting it a for this game)

Really cool game, I tried to make a song with it but I suck at music... Really cool puzzles though, the last one got me for a while, I think it'd be nice to have a button that would play the pattern instead of having to wait, but not a big deal either way.
I really loved this! I also thought the note at the end was really cute! I would love to see even more of the puzzles because it was really fun!
Took me a while to figure it how to play it and that i have to repeat the sound, once i figure it it was just how much fun.. Maybe the player shouldnt be able to click anywhere he likes, maybe a fes number of buttons? Idk, but loved the ideia!
This is a very good game, I love the sound themed puzzles.
SUCH A SICK CONCEPT. Immediately I wasted 30 seconds trying to use it like a DAW lol. One issue I had was when full screening the game, the notes no longer lined up with the horizontal marks - this was on web. Thanks for making this, really enjoyed it.
Awesome to hear. I know that the marker and other sprites do not line up perfectly. That's something I need to adapt for the next jam. The same is true for playing the game on mobile devices. However, you can still play the game on your mobile phone, which is also quite enjoyable. :D
Really great idea, Well done
This is a really cool idea, I'm a bit too one-deaf to get far but it looks and sounds great! It might be a good idea to have the cue be manually triggered by the player rather than playing on a loop/timer as it sometimes felt like I had to wait a bit too long to hear it again and other times it played over the top of me while I was experimenting.
Very original idea in a sea of repeated themes! good job
I enjoyed it. The last one was pretty challenging. Good job!
I really enjoyed this. Trying to match the notes was fun.
Probably one of the more unique submissions.
Almost didn't beat the last one, haha! I guess my ears need some tuning. Fun idea!
Good to see some new ideas! At first it wasnt clear for me weather I should click on the lines or inbetween them, but that was a nice game! Good job!
this was so insanely clever and well made! Good job and love the accesibility!
I had fun playing this clever music game. I liked that it was a simple concept to grasp, but still challenging enough that I had to take multiple attempts to get the correct note order. One piece of feedback is that when I first started trying to play the notes, I thought I had to click on the horizontal lines instead of in-between the lines to get each note. I think that the graphic could be designed a bit differently to make it super clear where to click for each note. Great work!
Very nice musical aspect of the game
Lovely little musical game, fits the theme nicely, can be finished in a couple of minutes though, so not very lengthy. Could be improved further
Thanks, for the kind feedback. I would have loved to add more songs after the final cut scene, but rather went for other things. This kind of music game was also more difficult to balance. For people with little music experience it was extremely challenging and for others it's probably too easy. Maybe I will add some more songs after the jam as it is actually very simple to do so.
Nice idea for the Jam! The sounds are good and the music to! Small and smiple game for starters, which I can definitly see improvement on!
Some things I think could be better: The menu is a bit weird, at first I didn't know if I already was playing or not. Also at the end when I clicked on menu the text was overlapping the UI.
But I think with a bit of polish this game could be a nice game for sure!
I'm also in the jam, and I know with more time everyone has a list of things they'd like to add or wanted to add. I try to provide the listed feedback in a constructive form to highlight different perspectives as a player and to show that I indeed did play the game.
Having keys for the input would have been a easy and very efficient idea indeed. Thank you for the interesting feedback. I considered adding colors coming from behind the symbol and the door, but again the time.
I've added a solutions list in case you want to see the end (which includes a final cut scene)
heyy, I am confused about how to play the game!
a little input from me, you can add a "how to" section for the player to read. even better, integrate the tutorial into the gameplay.
Thanks, you just have to use your left mouse button and the handle plays a sound based on where you are between the vertical bars.
I tried to show how it is done with the intro scene. However, there was not quite enough time to make it more apparent.
Was very confused at the start
a bit boring
decent tho
