Plant your seed in them and then push them close to other entities to make them connect and make music together!\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nMovement = wasd\r\nSeed = left click\r\nPush other entities around = space\r\nManipulate sliders = right click (hold in shift and drag up\/down for more precise control)\r\n\r\nInstructions\r\n\r\nChange your shape by manipulating the sliders in the bottom right. Shapes are generated by the Superformula, a cool mathematic function that can produce a variety of different outcomes. Every entity has a specific sound, and this is generated by taking into account the parameters of the Superformula. Different shapes will thus sound differently.\r\n\r\nWhen two entities are close to each other, they form a connection and start sending signals to each other. When a signal hits an entity, it produces a sound.\r\n\r\nThe little squares at the edges of the screen tell you in which direction you can find an entity.\r\n\r\nThe goal of the game is simply to have a little fun with these sound producing, shapeshifting blobbies!\r\n\r\nKnown issues:\r\n\r\n-The game is pretty heavy, and will probably start to lag sooner or later, depending on your computer.\r\n-I have no idea if the Linux build works\r\n-A bunch more that I'm too tired to remember :)\r\n\r\nNote to those that want to look at the source:\r\n\r\nYou need Processing 3.x and Beads to play around with it.","title":"&mu;Shift"}
