Game description
Musical puzzle
Theme interpretation
The sonic reality is relentless: we are always listening. Sound waves, traveling even from the depths of space, are in constant motion. The goal of the game is to harmonize these scattered sound waves, finding the balance needed to complete the musical composition.

This game was a lot of trial and error, with little skill involved it seemed. It felt like i was just dragging pieces until they eventually worked. Making some sort of audio cue like wachunga said would help the gameplay a lot. I really liked the music and the connecting to make a shape is a cool concept! nice work
The description left me thinking that there audio clues for each piece (like on hover?), but that didn't seem to be the case. Without something like that, it feels like trial and error which isn't so fun for me. But otherwise I think it's a solid submission!
cool game
Thank you so much!
I couldn't play the game, what window size did you set?
I'm so sorry you couldn't play! That's a critical bug.
The game is set to run at 1920×1080 resolution.
Could you let me know what device/screen resolution you were trying to play on? That would really help me track down the issue. Thanks for the report!
No worries! I was on a laptop with 2880x1920 resolution.
Great work! The aesthetic is cool and the tunes are immaculate 💃
Awesome! Thanks for playing! So glad I nailed the aesthetic and that the tunes hit the spot 💃 I appreciate the feedback!
I have no idea how to make this game work unfortunately. And I got tired of hearing “babow” over and over again no matter which piece i tried to move, or where i tried to move it. Sorely in need of some instructions or a tutorial.
I totally understand your frustration, and you are 100% right! The lack of instructions is clearly the biggest issue right now, and I apologize that the game didn't explain itself at all.
This feedback confirms that adding a proper tutorial and clear visual cues is the absolute first thing I need to fix. And yes, that repetitive "babow" error sound is definitely on its way out!
To help you out right now, I've linked a quick video below showing the main mechanic in action.
Thank you for trying the game despite the confusion—your comment is incredibly valuable!
I love the aesthetic, and liked most of the music. It took me a minute to figure out what I was supposed to be doing though - some instructions and a visual cue when hovering the points over each other would help. Also the "wrong" noise got a little irritating since you hear it so often.
You're absolutely right in your comments! I had planned to add visual cues and a tutorial, but I simply ran out of time during the jam, haha. I also found the error sound annoying while testing the gameplay. Thanks so much for playing and for the great feedback!
