I like the music, but consider starting it muted and only downloading 3.6MB of mp3 if someone unmutes.
This might be a good idea because it's typical that web games like this usually don't play music or even sounds. It's kind of a context thing? If in a game app, music and sounds are expected... if it's a website, not so much.
This would also help reduce the fairly large download that makes the game a bit chonky to load.
- ramly 3y agoThanks Waterluvian, that's actually a really good point. Do you feel the same about the rest of the sound effects, or is it mostly the music starting as ON in the context of a web game that feels unexpected?
- Waterluvian 3y agoMusic is 9/10ths of it. If it played sounds that’s generally fine as long as they can be muted. But I personally feel strongly that music should start muted if it’s a webpage. Thanks for taking the time to respond to feedback!
- ramly 3y agoMakes total sense, very helpful nuance. Will keep that in mind!
- otteromkram 3y agoNot to original person you replied to here, but I usually don't like sound effects or music for web gsmes. Having both muted to start would be ideal.
- ramly 3y agoGood point otteromkram. Thanks for the input
- vlw 3y agoI don't agree, most games (even web games) play music. A "normal" website should not play music, I agree. But this is a game. Plus I for one liked the cute sound effects and didn't even think about the music as something unusual.
- Waterluvian 3y agoYes and no. How many “daily” web games play music?
- ramly 3y agoThat's very nice to hear, thank you vlw. I think there is a good argument on both sides. This is one of those areas where I will definitely be making improvements down the line with a proper settings menu for sounds, visuals, etc. Really appreciate the feedback!
