Why I made it

I wanted to make a game that anyone in the world could play together — something built around the pop songs I grew up with. The pixel-art look of old game cartridges felt like the right fit to bring back that nostalgic feeling.

As a non-native English speaker myself, I knew typos would happen, so the game forgives small spelling mistakes. And for players who'd rather sing than type, I added a voice mode — you can solve any puzzle by just saying the answer out loud.

The details

• Genre: Puzzle, Music Trivia
