Love the concept (a fruit-fly-brain violin engine is such a creative brief!), but I wanted to flag a bug so it reaches more players: on my machine the embed stops at "INIT ERROR · Error creating WebGL context." and never gets past the black screen, so I couldn't reach the instrument. WebGL context creation can fail on some browsers/GPUs/headless setups — a Canvas2D or WebAudio-only fallback (or a clear "WebGL required" message with a link) would let folks like me actually hear it. Holding off on rating since I couldn't experience the core, but genuinely keen to try it if you get a fallback in — the idea is great.

Very involved.

Seriously, this is amazing. I didn't really pick up on the curry element, but it was a very interesting game with a cutting-edge, futuristic feel. That said, I was a little unsure of what to do at times, so a tutorial might be a good addition.

Awesome!💫

If I were to make my own personal ranking, this would definitely be at the top this time around‼💎


Lately, the topics I've been most interested in are the paper "Sexual dimorphism in the complete Drosophila male central nervous system connectome" and "MaleCNS," among others. My PC has been absolutely cluttered with information related to those topics lately. But I never would have imagined that a work related to those topics would actually be featured in our jam.

And then there's my interpretation of the theme "Currying Functions"—something I thought might never actually be used, though I hoped someone would—and the fact that a piece using it was actually submitted. That makes me really happy, too.

It's the best✨✨✨

I think it would be amazing if we could record this performance and use it freely in games with proper credit. If that feature is ever added someday, I'll definitely use it all the time in my own games. 😉

Right now i'm working on Mosquito brain satellite drone, Mosquito brain DDR, POKEFLIES (pokemon for fruit flies) And a few other apps. Inspired by the recent wave for sure. (my other games need love too!) Thank you!

Visually it's cool and an unique concept! Edit- Unique use of theme that wouldn't have occurred to me, great job thinking outside the box!

"Functional Programming: Currying a technique in computer science (converting a multi-argument function into a sequence of single-argument functions). " This was the theme I thought it might fit sorry, it uses advanced neural networks and wasm kernel workers to multi-augment a real time scene in three js. With multi parameter buttons that alter and adjust full aspects of the scene. Thanks thought!

I take it back - you thought outside the box I will revise my review! My mistake!

It's all good! Sorry I didn't have any real curry games haha

No it's all good, the rest of us were unoriginal LOL I really love the game design, it reminds me of old 90s sci fi animes. I liked it.
