Really interesting mechanic. It would be cool if it somehow made it so that you could never play a dissonant note, make it sound more like music automatically. Cool game!

First thought: What are the controls?
Second thought: EVERYTHING IS THE CONTROLS!
Third thought: Sweeet.
Fourth thought: I'm not a musician...
Fifth thought: Oh damn that game over... LOL

Now that is a kind of game I haven't played before haha.
It's quite difficult with all those keys but so funny still :D

somfunambulist 2014-12-08 04:17

Really interesting! I would have preferred if the controls were kept to the alphabet keys.

lawls 2014-12-08 04:21

Has a nice feel!

pinpickle 2014-12-08 04:21

I have never felt closer to my keyboard than this moment.

mtinkerhess 2014-12-08 04:23

Very different control scheme! Nice 3D models. I liked the sound / music. I wasn't always sure why some bubbles didn't get popped by the organ.

ehtd 2014-12-08 04:26

Very cool, I did not expect that!

nuclearnapalm 2014-12-08 04:30

I need to improve my blind typing skills))) Very interesting mechaincs! Good job!

Very relaxing. Great sound !

raincole 2014-12-08 06:13

Pretty creative and relaxing. The death scene is so cute.

stjahns 2014-12-08 07:06

WHOAH. Really cool! Never seen anything like this. I kinda like the dissonance, gives it kinda a spooky mood :)

seriousdeath 2014-12-08 08:13

I died and wasn't sure why. I assume sucking up skulls is a bad thing...?
Enjoyed the challenge of finding the right key rather than just pressing everything at once...
The models are nicely done...

xgeovanni 2014-12-08 12:05

A cool game and REALLY HARD. Then again I've never been any good

xgeovanni 2014-12-08 12:06

at rhythm games. (This looks really weird now.)

ultravisitor 2014-12-08 14:37

I had not considered this a rhythm game until you mentioned it xgeovanni. I guess if you have got rhythm then it is.

ferraware 2014-12-09 00:55

Really liked the idea, pretty innovative. Ended up pressing every single key :P

barryrowe 2014-12-09 04:26

This mechanic is great. I wish it was slightly more constrained to maybe just the character keys. I guess it is part of the challenge, but I ended up feeling as if I was just mashing keys rather than having to be a skilled "keyboard organist". The game is still fun, and has a unique mechanic. Well done.

tater_hater 2014-12-09 06:14

Like the sounds

chuigum 2014-12-09 06:16

Awesome innovation, great graphics, good job! Very original, I like that.

diventurer 2014-12-09 06:18

Nice game overall. I had problems figuring out the controls at first, but when I did - I got another problem: The upper-left tube won't work. I could play all its neighbours, but not the upper-left. Is this the horror of different keyboard layouts?

Anyway, I died really quickly afterwards. I love the game over screen!

andrewkennedy 2014-12-09 06:20

Pretty sure I lost several good years of life on my keyboard after this game, haha. What a cool concept - and sometimes the pipes played some really nice music!

ultravisitor 2014-12-09 15:35

Haha! Its true @Diventurer my keyboard input does not really account for special keyboards. I am not sure what would happen to someone on a dvorak layout for example.

logun 2014-12-09 20:07

The link is dead in web version :(

ultravisitor 2014-12-09 20:25

Thanks for letting me know @Logun. Everything seems fine from here. There is an issue on some versions of Chrome. People have been using other browsers for this jam to work around it.

zettelkasten 2014-12-10 15:24

Nice game, very difficult to play with German keyboard layout though ;)

mrexcessive 2014-12-10 18:05

Hi there. Really fun feedback from tapping keys... You really feel you are the organ... excellent. Sounds nice and flutey. Good job!

harley77 2014-12-12 04:32

That is original, and the little 3D models in the bubbles are well done. Good job!

kualitygames 2014-12-12 21:24

This is such an amazing game, I've never seen a thing like this! hard to see where or how far the bubbles were though, ended up smashing my keyboard but I still had fun. Goodjob and high innovation!

budaniel 2014-12-13 04:38

I am not coordinated enough for this apparently lol

thopis 2014-12-13 06:05

Very interesting concept!Love it!

pjimmy 2014-12-13 13:25

lovely, very creative, well done :)

maesk 2014-12-14 13:13

Good idea, but my game turned into chaos, pressing every button in existance, and losing anyway :D Great game

ky533541 2014-12-17 23:31

Really neat control scheme. It was a bit uncomfortable at first using non-alphabetic keys but you get used to it pretty fast. Fun and creative entry!

toadfrogs 2014-12-26 11:09

This would be a compliment for music composers who can play the organ using a computer keyboard. Good job on this.

Awesome graphics but goal is not clear
