First, I want to mention how wonderful it was working with OMNI Audio. Alistair Hirst and his team composed and created the beautiful sound effects and music for Entanglement with a very short turn-around, giving us everything we needed and more to make sure we had high quality audio for everything in the game.
To make the background audio loop less repetitive, Alistair asked us to try an interesting layering technique that I believe worked out phenomenally well. The background track in-game is actually 2 separate layers of audio. The layers are offset by 16 seconds and each layer plays a short 32 second clip randomly chosen from a list of five or six unique sound clips. So, at any given time, you are listening to one of 30 possible combinations, resulting in up to 15 minutes straight of non-repeating original audio.
Grab the original MP3 from CDBaby for $0.99 (a higher percentage gets to us) or on iTunes, Amazon MP3, and several other distributors.

ReplyDeleteHuh, nice trick with the audio clips. Kinda reminds me of the trick used back in the old days (DOS days).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, music is awesome, going to buy, brb ;)
Id totally be keen to see this on Android, and happy to pay!
ReplyDeleteditto what liz said. wake up people. Droid has 24% of the market now and gaining month by month. iPhone is on a decline dropping from 42 to 36% in 6 months.
ReplyDeleteHello! I tripped over this game in Chrome and I'm lovin it so far. Also, I don't know if you have any use for voice talent, but I would be happy to help you guys out if you ever needed some.
ReplyDeleteThere's some problems with entanglement as a Chrome app for me. The controls won't show, ie. the rotation buttons etc. Once the game is over it won't replay without a boot.
ReplyDeleteHi E,
ReplyDeleteI would try temporarily disabling your extensions and see if it performs better - we've had some odd conflicts with different Chrome extensions.
Dudes. This game is amazing, but you took away the satisfaction of watching the ending.
ReplyDeleteWhen I set up a big tangle I want to watch it go "boodle-dingle-dingle-dingle-boodle-ding!" and see all the numbers pile into my score.
Currently, this satisfaction is covered up by a dialog! We can wait to see this dialog! :)
Thanks for the game. I'm getting everyone hooked.
@Jack: Thanks! You're absolutely correct - we'll work on that. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat game guys! reminds me of my programming days! now a small option which would be awesome would be to see your personal all-time or maybe weekly records printed next to the scores as resets to show 0 every day.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work and cant wait for the daily challenge!

Great Game you have done guys !
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot, it's a very graphic !
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteI love your entanglement game. I discovered it using a friend's computer. When I tried playing it on my computer which is an intel toshiba with a linux o.s. on it I discovered that the sound wasn't working for the game.
The volume is up in my task manager and the little white music and sound effects buttons are clicked. I'm not sure what the problem is. I really like the music for this game.
The audio is mesmerizing. I have a problem however if I close my Macbook (latest OS X) with the browser open. When I awaken my notebook, the audio is non-functional. I have to quit the browser completely and re-launch Chrome. The state of the speaker and music icons make no difference. Probably something on my end...
ReplyDeletei need the game music its awesome from where can i download it..
ReplyDeleteGreat Music! I am just hooked to it and let it run on a separate tab in chrome while working on a different tab.
ReplyDeleteI want to see more of the musicians and won't mind with more games;)

nice game needs mind to be scrubbed before tapping space...good
ReplyDeleteSame here - I just have it open in another tab while I do other work. Would love to pay for this on Android!
ReplyDeleteGood music... but I'm not going to buy... I'm just going to get it for free... WEBSITE LINK/a/MUSIC NAME is the pass to get it for free...
ReplyDeleteMy dog fell asleep to the music!
ReplyDeletedude, this game is sweet. why not go viral with an option to share on fb (on main menu or in game screen?)
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. I've been leaving the game running in a minimized browser at work for months. During the Winter it set the mood perfectly! I'm also less likely to go on a rampage if this music is playing, which is a good thing as well. Keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteI have game window open while working. My days are less stressful and what's more I know I am less stressful toward others.
ReplyDeleteThough, I'm sure they are growing weary of my tao-like responses.
So Very Relaxing!
ReplyDeleteYup loving the music and finding the game really really really addictive although I haven't yet beat my best score 76 HA! I know I will be playing this game when I need to get away from my studies and chill - thank you
ReplyDeleteGosto muito desse jogo.

ReplyDeleteGreat game. Why does the music stop after a while and never start again? (Maybe you're trying to make me buy it?)
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't there any sound effects to go with the scores popping and tiles rotating? I have not muted the sound effects, but I never hear any. I don't even know what they sound like. Are there really sound effects?
Hi Colin,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the game is not performing correctly. If you can send us your browser version, we'll see if we can determine what's going on. Thanks!
