Amazing!

Thanks, glad the cactus stuck with you!

Both, actually. While you’re picking, each animal shows how it feels about the current four cards, so you can swap a card and watch the reaction change before you play. Then during the song they comment bar by bar, things like “the middle drags”, so you can tell which measure did it.

The one thing you don’t know up front: listeners who are on the fence only make up their mind when the song ends.

you cool lele is a small, free busking game about a cactus with a ukulele. Every song is four bars, and each bar is a melody card. The crowd shows how they feel about your pick, so you hold the cards you like, reroll the rest, then press Play and watch who becomes a fan.

Fans take you from the Street to the Plaza, the Concert Hall and on to four festivals, and a big enough crowd calls for an encore. A full run takes 10 to 15 minutes. Sound on is best: the ukulele is synthesized in the browser, so the melody you pick is the one you hear.

Code, art (hand-tuned SVG) and sound were made with Claude. no image generator. It's my first game on itch. Tell me which stage you reached, I read and reply to every comment.
