I lost my potato :(

Couldn't get it to run on Chrome Windows7 - unrated

This was a really interesting take on the theme. Like Simon only with sounds instead of lights. Great work!

myexcessive: what happens when you try to run it? It should work fine for anybody with Java installed.

Nice take on the theme, I like the idea, and it could probably be developed further to maybe teach kids to play. Good job, have a potato

I have perfect pitch, so it was way too easy lol. Still nice.

I made it to level 3 but once I made one mistake it seemed like I was doomed. I couldn't figure out how to get back on track once I made a mistake.

Thank you all! I'll rate back shortly.

mrexcessive: The "Web" version should work for everyone with Java installed - with full JavaSound or something the SoundCipher library documentation says. But if you look closely, I'm sure you can find other versions that might work. :)

Cyborg771: Ear training is not an easy task but I'm sure most poeple can get to this basic level in a little time. Also there are other ways to train and different things to learn - I wasn't aiming for a full featured educational game in this competition though.

I should point out that SoundCipher is not a very good library in means of control over playback and usability. It's barely do it's job.

It's very hard for me :((. But, nice idea and Great Job.

The hardest thing for me is, that I can't hit the first note again. It is fine that it is already given, but I need to hear it again to step forward. Nice idea and very hard for somebody who played keyboard only half a year in school ._.

Herku: You can hear all the notes whenever you want by clicking on the play button next to the keys. I'll add another button for playing the last found and the current note only to the #1GAM version.

Entertaining.

Not bad, does a thing I've not seen in games before.

xblinkedx 2013-05-17 22:57

Very difficult, but very cool idea!

Managed to finish it on my third try! It is a cool challenge perhaps appropriated for children to learn and train their ear. Cool idea and execution, the only thing I would add is after we complete each level, we could hear the melody so far.

someguy22 2013-05-18 00:38

Cool!

dick_claus 2013-05-18 04:45

I lost all my potatoes >_< Really hard to play. I think will be better if preview show me what keys was downed

rawbits 2013-05-19 19:35

Make A Game: Outstanding! Not just children needs ear training it isn't natural to learn these kind of skills in every day life for everyone. BTW I wanted to play back the whole phrase but the SoudCipher library don't have the necessary functions sadly. :(

dick_claus: Sound Cypher makes it very difficult to control the playback so I couldn't do that sadly. I wanted to make a button for playing only the last found and the current note only though.

Thank you all trying this quick sketch. Maybe later I'll try to improve it, perhaps I change playback library. Also I might add a practice mode where you can szelect which intervals you want to practice.
