Sussy Synth Solo

Disclaimer: we've updated the game since the jam. You can find the original jam version here.  You can find an auto-updating PWA version here, if you want to add it to your phone's home screen.

We've made this game for the HEJ 2024 October jam. The theme we chose was "game makes music". Thankfully it wasn't "game makes good music", so hopefully this will do ;) Feel free the mute it at any point.

Fodi streamed parts of the development:

Objective

Make a terrible and way too long synth solo by connecting blocks together. You can either connect ones with the same colour or the same symbol.

When you remove blocks, semi-random notes will start playing over the background loop. If you line up a lot, notes will play at double time. The symbols on the blocks determine the rhythm of the melody, the notes are randomized on a scale that is more or less in tune with the background loop.

Controls

Click or tap & hold to connect multiple blocks. Click or tap power-ups to activate them.
