Runs well, good audio, nice old-school ASCII interface. Plenty of options for the musically-inclined. It's probably about as accessible as ScreamTracker. I could see it being used to make actual tunes. In a post-compo version, maybe add a way to share songs through encoded URLs? That way you could show off some of your own work.

Great audio program, but i think it doesn't fit the theme.
bookmarked though xD

ok that was a very interesting entry, bit of a stretch to call it a game tbh, more ot a toy, but very cool all the same :-)

Really fun to play with. Not sure it fits the theme though.

This was cool, fun to play with :D However, I'm terrible at audio, and couldn't get it to sound too good :p It's quality as a 'game', and how well it fits to the theme is a stretch, but it was good fun, and interesting, so hell, I'm cool with it :D

This game was very difficult I found, ie I found it quite difficult making something that sounded nice. Using walls and stacked notes was quite confusing for me.
I'm not saying it was so hard I wasn't able to make anything, it just took me a while to figure things out.

Maybe you could add a few examples, or a tutorial showing techniques for creating rhythms? A save/load feature would be good too.

I also noticed that some instruments got drowned out by the other instruments, so a way to change the volume would be a good addition.

The instruments in the game didn't sound very nice. They were very different, and didn't blend very well.


Besides that this looked like it had a lot of potential. I imagine there are a lot of cool things people could make, although I wasn't able to make much.

A little far from the "Tiny World" theme, or being a game, for that matter.. but as a toy/sound generation app it's a pretty cool concept I don't think I've ever seen before. I could see it catching on even as complex as it is, given the right set of tutorials :P good job!

This is awesome :-) I had a lot of fun playing with your audio sound game.

I think it lacks a "clear area" button, although just waving the eraser around kinda does the trick. Also, maybe a "T" junction where one note enter from above/below, and two leave from the sides at the same time?

I'll try to use this to make tunes for the next compo! :-D

Lovely game. It's actually quite interesting and innovative to me. Graphics are good (love old school ascii games) and it's fun. Sadly I can't see how the game fits into the theme :/
It's an amazing work though.

I'm a pretty huge fan of audio content generators, so I dinked around in this quite a bit. I also really dug the ASCII feel of it too, halfways expecting to accidentally boot back out to DOS once I got closed the tab. :P I'm not sure if it fits the theme per se, but it's something I think I'll play around with for the next LD for sure!

Also, I'm going to echo a previous commenter and say a way to share songs would be fantastic.

So not a game per se, but a great entry. Really fun tool to play around with. I could see me using this in the future.

Not sure how it fits in with Tiny World per se, but it was a very cool game none the less! I enjoyed playing around with it immensely. Well done.

Interesting concept, and it could be greatly improved with some polish and maybe some preconfigured defaults that would go a long way towards showing people what they should be doing. Not really a game though, and not really the theme.

Fun to play around, but I'm not sure if I was able to use it to its full potential. Maybe adding a beginner's tutorial with examples of cool stuff you can do with it would help a lot =)
