Fantastic idea, it generates some awesome rhythms and visuals. Excellent work!

You can hear the noise in this image :D 

I found out that you can spam the shoot ball button and all mayhem is awaken.

It was a nice experience which played with the theme differently. I had fun with it for a while. But have to say that I was in the end hoping that when presing the arrow it would take me somewhere else to actually be able to do something myself, maybe control the ball in a world that would make sounds/etc when hitting something.

Thanks for experimenting with it :-) and for the ideas. If you open it on your phone you can control the ball/s with the touch screen and hit the shapes you want, but once you let go the initial ball takes on a 'life' of its own.

A very unique, sound and visual experience. As you said in your blog, it may not be what most would consider a 'game', but you certainly satisfy the theme of the jam. Well done!

Great concept, it creates some sick beats. :D

Well done!

pretty intresting game I like the visualisation of sound, too much particles for me

Submitted(+1)

Nice visualisation of sound! Sometimes, there were too many chaotic particles for me (I would make them smaller maybe?), but it was fun and I think that this game would perfectly fit some interactive exhibition or festival!

Congrats on submission. While it's cool, I think instead of showing the chaotic balls like this it's better to just show the level of sounds in a more peaceful graphic.

The worlds you get through all of them feel very unique and offer different experiences. It was quite mesmerizing.

Wow, this is really unique, I think it really hit the theme because you are making your own universe  every single time. Loved how each universe had it's own sound/music creation, just a super cool concept! My fav so far!

Submitted(+1)

Brilliant and bizarre. The worlds ranged from calming to chaotic. I would love to read the code behind this.

Thank you for trying it out! I have been writing about making this 'game' in a blog. There are some images of code and comments in there. https://redninja83882493.wordpress.com

i got some very intriguing soundscapes out of it, some relaxing and nice; others haunting and otherworldly - very, very cool. loving the randomness in it and the minimal input.

I did have a hard time connecting the movement of the shapes to the sounds being played, as there was so much chaos and movement. I think having this understanding of the connectiveness between shapes and sounds would bring the experience to the next level for me...

Life is hard and it mostly depresses me, perl your game is so cool that it makes life much more joyful

I start by thinking "that's boring", but then i give it a try and experienced a lot of sounds, art, colors and somehow it becomes fun to watch and try new experiences. Well done : )
