How to play
Slide the ear left and right to catch the sound waves as they fall. Special waves give you a power and teach a piece of real hearing science; trouble waves (noise, feedback, tinnitus) get in your way. Every level falls faster.
About the game
An ear lying on its side scoots along the ground and catches sound waves as they fall, faster every level. Each catch plays the next note of a tune.
Special waves are named after real parts of hearing (Pinna Boost, Hair Cell Amp, Phase Lock, Stereo) and catching one shows the science behind it. Trouble waves are real hearing problems too: Noise Burst, Too Loud, Feedback, Tinnitus.
Travel through a forest, a busy street, a concert and a rainstorm, beat two mini-bosses and the boss MEL MAX, and spend your score in the upgrade shop between fights. There is a Daily Challenge with the same waves for everyone that day, and a two-player mode on one keyboard.
