- niceby vatana7
- wow. thats an amazing concept.
- Love the game
- so happy to hear it!by johnsillings
- It is such a funny game!by kieojk
- Karaoke is kinda over-selling it. The entire game is just a 1-word prompt. Calling it a Singing game seems more accurate.by koolala
- that's fairby johnsillings
- This looks fun! Had to open two tabs on my phone to test it before I consider sending it out to others. I often play a “sing a song from a word” game with my sister so it’s cool to see a framework around it.by mortar
- happy you're into it – hope you enjoy!
(and hopefully this goes without saying, but if there's anything i can do to make it a better experience, please let me know :))
by johnsillings - It seems very cool!! Congrats! But I can't play alone am I right? :( It would be nice for a fast testing! but no problem at all! I'm going to find one friend! :Dby kalamarico
- no single player mode (but I could add one!) – would you be interested in playing 1p beyond just kicking tires?by johnsillings
- I saw a real time multiplayer comedy open mic night game. I felt the premise was just fantastic even if it’s a moderation atom bomb.
That and this are clever ideas.
by Waterluvian - that sounds awesome! do you recall what it was? i'd love to check it out. (and thanks!)by johnsillings
- Cool game! Looks fun. Guess I need to find some friends first, but maybe I'll try playing with them this weekend.by tehnoslow
- let me know how it goes, and if there's anything i can do to make it more fun!by johnsillings
- I played this as a camp game when I was younger. You formed teams and just had to sing a song with a generic word like "love". Cuteby HaloZero
- Nice one! I built something similar [1]. It has you type in the name of the actual song and artist and the game compares it to a database of lyrics. The goal is to find as many songs as possible that contain a given word (or one of its derivatives) within one minute. Getting actual lyrics was the hardest part, so not all songs are in there.by driese
- sick!!by johnsillings
- This reminded me something you might find fascinating. We grew up playing a similar game in India. It's Antakshari[0] and it means "The game of the ending letter". There was even a popular game show for over 10 years in the 2000s on Indian TV.
I'm gonna give an English example, but in a tonal language like Hindi, Mandarin, Thai, it would make "more" sense. Players have to sign a song that starts with the same tone as the previous song ended on.The game starts with a couplet to initiate the game and since the last word of the couplet ends with an m, the first song starts with that. And yeah, only Indian/Bollywood songs are allowed but I'm gonna break that rule to make an example. Taking tones don't really make sense in English so I'll use the last word.
Player one might sing "Mamma mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you", and the next goes with "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray." and then the next starts with gray. The person who can't find a song is out of the game, and you can't repeat songs.
- cool! that sounds pretty tough, but fun!by johnsillings
