Swan Song is a relaxing puzzle game about building your own music scales. You're grandpa left you with a small magical music box. It's up to you to solve it and reveal its secrets. Puzzle your way through numerous levels by placing notes on the scale and cranking the box. Watch your composition come to life when the box starts playing your musical score which moves & twists the gears & platforms, in order to get your little Goose safely to its nest! You only need your mouse to play: Simply click and drag notes on your scale and crank the crank to start your composition and solve the puzzle!

art and music is amazing! the idea of making the game into music box is so cool! WELL DONE!
Thank you so much! :D
This game is stunning. The visuals are SO good, the music is really relaxing, the concept is brilliant! Everything about this is incredibly impressive for a 4 day jam! It was really enjoyable to play all the levels.
I really hope we see this in the top 20 video!
FYI: I did have a bug where I got softlocked and had to restart. Not sure why it happened. The notes fell out of the music box and it wouldn't reopen no matter what.
Thank you so much for checking out the game! :D And yeah, we didn't have time to patch out every single bug, so sometimes stuff like that can happen! Let's hope we'll make it into the top 20! :D
Nice music and puzzles! And the interpretation of the theme is very unique.
Thank you very much! :D
A brilliant little take on the theme! I love the simplicity in everything and both the gameplay and the graphics really sell the narrative, it really feels like the sort of box you will find in your grandma's attic and play with as a child.
One of my favorite games i played so far in this jam! Good job!
Thank you so much for the kind words! :D
omg you are the ones who made Sizeable! It's such a good game as well! Nice to catch you in the wild!
Yes! That's us haha! :D
Amazing presentation. Its very very nice. I hope this become a mobile game
Thank you very much! :D
Took me a little while to understand how to start the puzzle (the delay between the key turn and the start feels quite long), when the goose was going to jump, and I had a few collision glitches on the notes.
That being said, I liked the idea, the puzzle design is nice and compact, double notes are a great mechanic, and above all the art is GORGEOUS <3 Congrats :)
Thanks for playing and the feedback! :D We will keep it in mind if we update the game in the future!
Such nice visuals & love seeing other musical games for this jam!
Thank you! :D
Gorgeous art style and very interesting puzzles, although it did break eventually (don't overlap 2 notes...). Still, it was very beautiful and calming to play!
And we're gonna ignore the fact it took me about 4 levels of clicking they key for half a minute before I figured out it was click once and let it run... xD
Thank you! Yeah, some bugs didn't get fixed because of the time limit sadly! :D
Amazing game!! Can't believe it was only made in 4 days.
very interesting twist on the prompt. loved the art style it was very enjoyable
Thank you! :D
I'll wait for the MacOS porting, from the pictures the game looks awesome!
If the feedback & ratings are good, we might make it into a full game (with MAC support ;) )
Interesting mechanics!, nice visuals too
Thank you very much! :D
