Chorus Critters (and some humans too)

Start anew after losing your beloved chorus, chill out, sing and... see what happens... -Featuring Gabe the dog!- OMG

Background:

You, yes you, old and tired chorus master, black belt of the voice, after investing everything in a theatre and a team of the greatest singers you were able to find, a tragedy happened :( Everything you owned burnt down to a fire, losing all your chances to success in such a competitive environment. Yup, what a tragedy right?

Well just to breathe some fresh air and think about how you are going to get back in to your feet, you go for a walk, stop at some ruins near your town and start doing what you do best.

Long story short, start anew, you realise that just by singing you are attracting animals and making yourself some chorus with random singers around, yes! Some hope, not everything is lost.

THE GAME: (best played with headphones)

  • SING to your microphone! Activate your microphone and tune your voice!
  • (While singing) Use Q(high), W(medium), E(low) to match the tiles
  • You are the main singer in your own chorus, attract other singers, the more you score, the more support you’ll attract.

There is no winning or losing, but… try to go as long as you can before critters stop spawning, just for the lols

-This game has been made with vanilla TypeScript, Adobbe Animate and omelette sandwiches.

Enjoy!

Usually creatures run away from my singing. This time was different. What a great experience! :-)

I think the people here must be thinking that I'm crazy singing crazy things to a stop screen, I don't understand much what to do... But very daring, congratulations.

I wish I knew what is it I am supposed to sing! It's very confusing! But very heartwarming as well. Well done.

An interesting idea. I like that you used the mic as gamepley element.
The next iteration would be to get rid of the QWE keys and just "recognice" the tone of the voice high, medium, low

But the graphic looks cool, the music is nice, but could be smoothed out a bit to avoid that harsh cuts, and the game could be a bit more gamified.

But well done for that time
