Meowsic

[Latest and most recommended version is Meowsic_WIN_1.2_Shipping.zip.]

Hey, musician, wake up! You slept all day, and now it's late at night already. There is light from your working PC screen, which you forgot to shut down. I believe you saved your file. Wait a minute, why is there an orange cat wearing green headphones, following the music up and down, and standing on the soundtrack? What the heck? Your cat is pink and hairy, sometimes annoying you with an evil smile (how can a cat smile that way?). That's not possible for a cat to be cool like that! It seems like you are still dreaming, the only way to leave here is by making Meowsic!

Meowsic is not a traditional 2D platformer game because platforms here don't wait steadily for the main character. Instead, you need to find, match and drag the platforms to keep the game going! What's more, the main character is quite unusual  - a bopping edgy orange cat - that can stretch and jump into loops, both horizontally and vertically way.

And while the game can be played as a single player and it might be challenging but if you have a friend with you, why not collaborate with them to finish this track? The controls on the keyboard are already split to the left  and right so you just need one hand each to play it!

Main menu 
Sitting down in front of your desk you have two options:

• Select your Meowsic app and start playing!
• Or you can select the burning recycle bin and crash and burn your desktop which will result in the game quitting!

Gameplay                                                                                           

As you startup the Meowsic app, a strange little orange cat would pop up on the very top track of your song. I wonder how it got there?   

• D  to make the cat walk to the right
• A to make the cat walk to the left
• S  to make the cat shrink
• W to make the cat spring upwards
• Left Shift to make the cat spring forward
• Space to jump
• Arrow keys to move selection
  
• Enter to confirm selection

But guess what? You’re a musician and you gotta get your track done! Luckily you can move the audio loops and have them act as platforms for your orange cat to make its way across!

• Right Ctrl  to make the selection frame appear on the platforms
• Arrow keys up, down, left, right to move your selection and select the movable platforms you want to move
• Right Ctrl again to confirm your selection and move the audio loop platform with your Arrow Keys once more
• Right Ctrl once more on the selected platform to deselect it 

Oh wait what’s this? Your real cat is trying to mess up your work by swatting at your keyboard! Quick let’s give it some pats and scratches to distract it!

• Left Ctrl+P to pat the cat with the left hand
• Right Shift+P to pat the cat with the right hand
