I really enjoyed the simple graphics, paired with the door animation! It's incredibly challenging, but I like that it gives you time to "rehearse" your performance

Wow that was interesting! Very original and strangely addictive. Simple yet complex concept. Well done :)

Nice concept, simple graphics but they do their job ! ;)

Super neat. Not sure how you pull off the matching, but it's cool. Interface was mysterious and felt like knowing secret codes once I made it to a new control.

I love the idea, but i couldn' even finish the first one. I thought i had the correct sound (not moving, simply hitting the right note and hold it there) but it never continued :(
Very creative idea though.

@Larzan: Thank you for pointing out what got you stuck! I guess that the matching is a bit baffling - the main goal in starting levels is to match the rhythm of the sound. In the end it means to hold the mouse for a right amount of time... I guess a lot of people thought that you should match the pitch and I cannot blame them for it. I wanted it to be mysterious but this way I lost a lot of players on the first level...

So if you want to try other levels, do this: In the first level, hold the singing slider for approx. half a second so it rhytmically looks like this: " _ ... " (one long and three shorts)

I really liked this. My ears are not the sharp so I had to try a few times to get past the levels. I'd never thought of shapeshifting this ways. Well done!

I couldn't make the sound play on the first level. I had the note right and I had the circle pulsing at the right speed but it wouldn't make the sound everytime the inner circle pulsed.
