An indie developer launched Strum Surfer, a site of 16 minigames and visualizers that turn music into gameplay and ASCII art, sold as a $10 one-time purchase with no subscription.
Key details:
- Uses microphone audio detection or MIDI input, so it works with guitar, piano, singing, and more; a quick calibration learns your instrument's frequencies, turning it into a game controller
- Games include chord-driven Snake, Tetris, and Space Invaders, plus sound-reactive watercolor painting, 3D sand patterns, terrain morphing, and a Met Museum image search via music
- Each game is designed to help practice chord shapes and changes, and the package includes visualizers like an oscilloscope and starfield
Lifetime access with all future updates; playable on any phone or computer with a microphone.
