Echo Weaver - Interactive Musical Rhythm Game | Tap Nodes to Create Harmonies
ECHO WEAVER is an interactive musical rhythm game that combines precise timing with beautiful harmonies. White waves expand from the center of the screen, and you must tap colorful nodes exactly when the waves reach them. The game features 10 different colors, each producing unique piano-like sounds using the Tone.js audio library. As your score increases, waves move faster and new waves spawn more frequently, creating progressive difficulty. The game ends if any wave passes a node without you tapping it. Experience the perfect blend of rhythm and music as you weave together colorful sound waves in this innovative musical adventure.
How to Play
Master the art of musical timing in ECHO WEAVER! Click or tap on colorful nodes as expanding white waves pass over them to create beautiful harmonies. The game starts with waves expanding from the center - you must tap nodes exactly when the wave reaches them. Each of the 10 vibrant colors produces unique musical tones from different scales. The waves speed up as your score increases, and the pulse rate (time between new waves) decreases, making timing more critical. If a wave passes a node without you tapping it, the game ends. Build your high score while creating an immersive audio-visual symphony!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Echo Weaver and what's the objective?
Click or tap on colorful nodes as white waves expand from the center and pass over them. You must tap nodes exactly when the wave reaches them to score points. Each successful tap creates a musical tone and adds to your score. The game ends if any wave passes a node without you tapping it. Your goal is to achieve the highest score possible by maintaining perfect timing.
What are the different colors and musical scales in the game?
The game features 10 colors, each producing unique musical tones: Red (C major), Cyan (D minor), Blue (E minor), Green (F major), Yellow (G major), Purple (A minor), Orange (B diminished), Sky Blue (C major high), Pale Green (D minor high), and Hot Pink (E minor high). Each color creates different harmonies when combined.
How does the difficulty progression work and what makes it harder?
Two factors make the game progressively harder: 1) Waves move faster as your score increases, requiring quicker reflexes, and 2) New waves spawn more frequently (pulse rate decreases), giving you less time between waves. This creates a challenging experience that adapts to your skill level.
What happens when I miss a node or tap at the wrong time?
If a white wave passes over a node without you tapping it, the game ends immediately. The game is very forgiving with timing - you can tap slightly before, during, or after the wave reaches the node and still score. However, if you completely miss a node, it's game over.
How does the scoring system work and what's a good score?
Each successful node tap gives you 1 point. The game tracks your current score and high score (saved locally). Good scores: 5+ (beginner), 10+ (getting better), 20+ (good), 30+ (excellent), 50+ (rhythm master). The game provides performance messages based on your final score.
What's the best strategy for achieving high scores in Echo Weaver?
Focus on perfect timing - tap nodes exactly when the white wave reaches them. Watch the wave expansion from the center and anticipate when it will reach each node. The game is forgiving with timing, so don't panic. Practice your reflexes as the waves speed up. Try to maintain a steady rhythm and don't let any nodes pass by untapped.
