Soundwave by Maxr00

[raw]
made by Maxr00 for LD32 (COMPO)
Note: For the web player above, I recommend going into fullscreen mode if you are experiencing problems with the game not receiving input from the keyboard.

Tune up, its time to fight!

In Soundwave, you battle three different opponents in a 1v1 duel, your weapons of choice, an electric guitar. There are 3 playable songs each with 3 difficulty settings. Try perfecting each song!

How to play:
When a note falls over the hit marker and turns white, press the key that lane is labeled (ASDF) and click to play the note. But be quick, if that note falls below the hit marker, you lose some health. Missing 10% of the notes causes you to fail.

Who is Maxr00?
I am a 17 year old game developer. I started making games in 2013. This is my third time competing in the Ludum Dare game jams. My first game I am publishing, Starward, will be available soon on the App Store on ios devices!

Very nice idea, maybe a hint, that you have to click with the mouse whenever you want to play a note would be nice, but again, excellent game!

Nice Guitar Hero clone. Is there supposed to be background music in addition to the music that is playing from each of the notes that I hit? If so, it wasn't playing for me, and if not, I think the game needs it. As it is, this was good as a game, but not good musically.

The artwork is good but not an original mechanic. I could not hear any sound so maybe there's a problem with your WebGL build?

Nice work. I get no sound(Web embed), so for a game with guitar it is a problem. But the game still awesome.

Nicely done! Simple mechanic, but effective. I lost immediately because I didn't realize that I had to click (which seemed a bit unnecessary). Well done!

Is my keyboard plugged in? Did I read the instructions wrong? It's not working, no sound, no keyboard + mouse combo did anything :(
