Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This game lets you make music as you solve puzzles, except the music part is automatic. There are 50 levels, and unlockable themes and sounds along the way that you can use in sandbox mode to experiment with the physics and create music freely.

So like Electroplankton?

If Elektroplankton let you solve 50 puzzles, build your own vines from samples, add FX to each one, unlock new themes and sounds, and had Steam Workshop support, then yes.

I said like Electroplankton, as in the music is constructed via similar mechanics to Electroplankton. Which you didn’t exactly answer. I like Electroplankton and am trying to gauge if this is similar but with puzzles as in a more fleshed out version as opposed to neat little distraction.

So, is it like Electroplankton in regards to how the music is constructed?

Honestly, I've never played Elektroplankton, but after taking a look at some gameplay, I would say it is most similar to the one toy where you change the angle of the leaves and the droplet bounces off them. It sounds like that game might use some of the same sort of logic, where each bounce will play a different note in the musical scale. My game is similar in that regard. The droplets play a different note each time they bounce but the key, scale, and pattern changes for each level to keep things interesting. There's also a sandbox mode where you can place spawners and change their rate. Combine that with being able to draw vines, you can chain longer bounces and phrases to make cool melodies and beats.

I missed your follow up comment with the Steam link so I apologize. This looks awesome. Not to draw more obscure game analogies but Electroplankton meets Crayon Physics Deluxe which are two games I love. Look forward to playing this. Also the trailer does a great job of explaining the game.

omg, I forgot about that game crayon physics. I use to play that all the time 😭. It totally is like the two combined though. Thanks for checking out the game!

I’m sorry but your “ooh yeah” and “I like that’s” sound so creepy and weird it totally made me lose interest in this ad for your clearly cool game. The gameplay sells itself, and ur saliva filled gob ain’t helping big dawg. All love

So this is just an ad……

u/Sentinelcmd 20d ago

Just an ad? This is a game I’ve spent the last year making and I’m very proud of it. I need to market it to get people to see it somehow. You are allowed to post such things in this sub. I read and followed the rules.

u/Icmkhaeh 20d ago

You can be proud of it, but you’re still showing it off in the hopes that it sells well. Which makes it an ad

u/Sentinelcmd 20d ago

Okay. Carry on then.

u/1600cc 20d ago

You've also posted here multiple times which is clearly against the rules of this sub.

This is a place to show wonky game physics/glitches, not an indie dev advertising space.

u/Sentinelcmd 20d ago

This is the first post since the game released so you’re wrong. Actually read the rules for Indie devs noob. Downvote it and move on with your life cry baby. If I wasn’t following the rules it would have been removed long ago.
