A spooky but also klikmas-y tabletop synthesizer. Create noise-scapes and ghostly-janky melodies by inscribing occult insignias into an ancient device once referred to as a "spreadsheet".
See the itch.io page for additional instructions and tips!
Made for the Glorious Trainwrecks Klikmas event 2021.
For quasiotter! I hope you enjoy!
Instructions:
Hold down left or right arrow to orient your self in the spooky daze of being in spooky limbo. Release the arrow when you have a hunch that you are headed towards the Great Majority.
Mac build is an html file. Firefox can open it.

Here is an actual barn on College Hill Road in College Hill, Kentucky that you can pack full of fish. The fish seem pretty happy to go into the barn, and they make fun, randomly generated sounds when they enter the door!
During a full moon, when all other animals are asleep, the fox spirits leave the forest and gather on the beach where they dance to the strange music which drifts from somewhere across the sea.

This is a musical toy type thing, kinda like electroplankton. It's an elaboration on this (which I didn't make): http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/6510
You can control different groups of foxes and move them around a musical grid. When you give up control they will keep performing the movements you had them do.
You can make weird dissonant noise or things that are somewhat soothing and nice. Just play around and have fun!
Also, every time you restart the program you will get different sounds.

12/30 update: Changed the fox sprite; slightly changed the way the program works; added mouse controls; you can move diagonally now; fixed some bugs
