Very musical. It would have been nice with some added animations when you hit the note blocks. Some better colour would have been good too. Maybe some percussion blocks (am I asking for too much), and a bit of polish with timing and controls. otherwise I thought it was fun and innovative.

This kind of fun as if I'm playing a combination of DX-Ball and virtual golf.

Fun and simple, good graphics yet I've experienced a few troubles with palette.

Nice, simple. Think with more time for careful level design, this could be something special. Something a little less minimal (OK I know that is the theme!) on the music side too might be nice. But great game

I love the sounds! :)

Thanks for the feedback! The colors looked fine on the monitor I designed on, but I played on another machine this morning and noticed what you all are talking about with the palette. I plan on making this a full game, so I'll definitely be redoing colors first thing!

Very funny and pleasant to play! I like your approach to the theme. Only the levels where you have to bounce against circles are a bit frustrating - they are really hard to predict!

bummzack 2013-04-29 13:38

Cool game. The circle-circle collisions are kinda hard to predict though. Combos could make a great addition (additional points if you can hit elements in a "musical" order, or hit the same color multiple times in a row).

Very nice. Loving this game. I think my day might be gone.

The music thing is great! It's beautiful to listen but some levels are hard to see the diference between some colors

Very nice! Loved the simplicity and the audio. Great job.

So this is the other Sine :) It kind reminds of Mini-Golf and pool. It's pleasant to play, has a nice colour palette and the music part adds a surprising touch!

Nice and simple. The sound effects were very cool.

albertosm 2013-05-01 19:48

I value the approach to making sounds with every bounce, but maybe you could have included more instruments? It kinda sounds monotonous to me :/ Either way, nice job!

elscootro 2013-05-01 19:50

@AlbertoSM Including only sine waves was a nod to the Minimalism theme. I totally agree more sounds would be better and plan to build out the game with a full suite of sounds. Thanks for the feedback!

Very minimal game especially how the audio goes... I like it :D ... Good game.

milo 2013-05-05 21:34

This is a neat concept and I liked hearing the ball move while I played, but I felt like there were really two different games with conflicting goals, since making music was an opposite goal from getting a good score. Perhaps it would be better if the fastest path to the goal made some sort of intentional melody or something like that? (or as bummzack suggests, a sort of "combo" thing).

diningphilosopher 2013-05-06 16:30

Thinking about making the music more interesting: perhaps you could make the sines loop at an interval depending on the speed at which they're hit? Anyway I liked your game, the gameplay was not that interesting of course but the music made up for it.

Well I finally got a high-score of less than 100 on something like my fifth run through :p
Not sure if that's good or not but I hope so.
Good game :)

elscootro 2013-05-09 14:20

@thirteenwb I've only gotten < 100 once myself :) since I've added analytics on May 2 you are the only sub 100 score!

ethankennerly 2013-05-12 22:22

Aiming to bounce the circle off of the walls and circles interested me. If you continue to develop this, the bounce music sounded unstructured.

csanyk 2013-05-19 05:00

This was rather pleasant.

brassawiking 2013-05-19 15:55

The backspin on the ball was annoying on some levels, made the second bounce turn away from the reflected line.

geepit 2013-05-20 11:00

Really nice, simple and enjoyable!
