Super Synth Repair

Help the neighbourhood repair-man to nurse the mysterious synthesizer back to good health by finding its missing notes! 

I made this game for the 2020 Global Game Jam. The theme of the jam was 'repair', and I decided to make something with a musical slant.

The game introduces the player to one of the fundamental principles of ear training - the ability to hold a pitch in your mind and recognize that pitch when you hear it again. The difficulty lies in keeping the original pitch in mind while also hearing and evaluating a host of other pitches.

As a former music teacher, I found it very interesting watching this game being played at my jam site. Some players got the hang of the game quickly and cruised through the three levels, while others found it extremely hard... If I find time to return to this game I plan to add a difficulty option and have the levels generate procedurally.
