Mel’s Bells

Use Melody’s magic bells to send the monsters back to hell and free the realm from the tyranny of Lupe’s loopy landscape!

Note: This game requires audio since the core mechanic hinges around trying to recognize and mentally manipulate audio patterns. Sorry, deaf folks! If I build a “full” version of the game I’ll add a visual mode, but I couldn’t spare the time this weekend.

(Mel's Bells was built from scratch in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 47.  The theme for the event was "Stuck in a loop.")

Tips

• Use your keyboard (keys 1-3) instead of the on-screen buttons.
• You collect mana from each defeated foe, and you do more damage the more mana you have.
• You must fill your mana to reach the center and fight the boss.
• Bats require you to play an inverted sequence, meaning any low notes become high, and high notes become low.
• Ghosts require you to play a reversed sequence. That is, you must play it backwards.
• A ghost-bat, therefor, requires doing both of those at the same time, which might be confusing. Thinking through the patterns in advance may help, should you encounter such a foe…
• If your audio is wonky, try the native build for your platform instead.
