Friendship Melody (Version B)

How To Play

Tap the Cutie Marks when the notes touch them. For best score, aim to tap them when they'll be in the center of the note.

The notes with different color, that have lines going upwards are "sliders". Tap and hold the Cutie Mark when the beginning of the slider touches it, and release your finger on the second note that ends the slider.

On PC, use keyboard to tap on corresponding Cutie Marks. You can customize keys in the options.

You can also play with the controller!

If you're on mobile, playing in Fullscreen mode is recommended. To toggle Fullscreen, tap to activate the game, and once it finishes loading assets, tap the button in the upper right corner. That button will be always available in menus afterwards.

About This Project

I have created this game from scratch, using Visual Studio Code, a code editor. The entire game was manually programmed in a single wall of text. While it isn't my first game ever, it is my very first attempt at creating a browser game powered by pure JavaScript, without the aid of any fancy engines.

This project started as an experiment on April 3rd 2023. I've been checking out what cool things could be made by just typing some code here. Exactly a month later, on May 3rd, the experiment evolved into a playable browser game. Its first appearance from that day can be seen in this video.

A forum event "Winter Wrap Up" was hosted for the game's debut. Due to mostly positive feedback, it came back a year later with the event's sequel "Shimmering Equinox," featuring new songs and various quality of life improvements. And now, it's coming back with even more songs and improvements!

Note: This is the alternate version of the game, that uses different, compressed audio format. It's not as widely supported by browsers (notably doesn't seem to work on macs at all). The original version is here:
