A text-based music game ~ made for Ludum Dare 41
Play in online or visit the Ludum Dare entry page.
Crowdsurf is a game about improvisation.
You play a band's lead singer who has forgotten the lyrics to his songs during a concert. It's your job to come up with new lyrics that match the original themes of your songs.
The game consists of 3 songs. At the start of each song, you'll be given a short list of keywords. You're scored based on how well your lyrics relate to these keywords. You can also earn points for having clever rhymes.
For example, if the keywords are "glass," "orange," and "game," you could write the following line:
Pour me a glass of that juice
The word glass is a direct match to one of your keywords, but the word juice is related to glass and orange. Therefore, this line would earn you three matches!
While a song is playing, you sing just by typing the text and pressing enter.
You can also do any of these actions during a song by typing an asterisk (*) before the command.
- key - View the song's keywords.
- stop - End the song early.
- ??? - What could this secret command be?
The Datamuse API was used to do much of the text scoring.
"Aurea Carmina", "Eighties Action", "I Feel You", "Last Kiss Goodnight", "Metalmania", "Motherlode", "Shaving Mirror", "Sock Hop"
