EDIT 8/27/14: Added mouse/tap press to the keys so you can spam the same keys instead of having to drag. Updated the android version to the post-comp version of the game. You can still play the original comp version on android by not choosing "free-piano mode".
EDIT 8/26/14: I had requests for a free-piano mode. That is available now in the post-comp link on newgrounds. Also, you can use s through k and e through i (except t) to get a more realistic piano feel. Both sets of buttons work

EDIT 8/25/14: I had originally had an autosave that was broken. That should be fixed now, nothing else changed in the game.
EDIT 8/25/14: I uploaded an android version of the game into the google play store. It is the same version as what is in the web. It should provide a new experience playing on a phone/tablet :)
The LD theme was connected worlds. I took this two ways. The first was the obvious connecting planets through space flight. The second was more abstract connecting the worlds of music and poetry. I hope you enjoy it!
You can play the keyboard using 1 to 10, - and =. Mouse scrolling over works also. The object is to travel to all of the worlds spreading your musical talents. You will be rewarded with gifts of poetry. You also get to hear the song you created at the end of the levels :)
*I made newgrounds medals. I had to take out the save feature. It was resetting all of the planets for some reason.
**I added a hard mode, still before the compo ended. It is tough, try to fly around easier areas to get reinforcement before moving towards the end.

Thanks for leaving feedback!
Are the asteroids random or did you try to influence the final melody made by the player ?
I'm found of the map tune.
I loved the menu music, which I thought was a good twist to scifi. it set a nice tone.
However I thought the actual game didn't reach the overall quality of the menu.
Hope to see more from you in the future :)
Neat idea though! With some more music, this could become some sort of rhythm game.
It would be cool if there was an bad tone that break music when an asteroid hit the ship. And different weapon (that might be different ranges of notes...).
