Minim's Journey

Programme

Each piece is written out for this game from a public-domain composition. Some are shortened to fit a lap.

How to play

  • Tap each falling key as it reaches the golden line. Every tap plays the next note of the tune, and the game plays the left hand for you.
  • The keys walk the way the tune walks: higher notes step right, lower notes step left.
  • A wrong tap or a missed key ends the piece. A tap a little off to the side still counts.
  • The first time through is kinder: usually slower, with wider timing, and most pieces forgive a slip or more. The encores don't.
  • Finish a piece for a star. Then the encores start, faster: 3 stars at the end of the third. Stars open new venues.
  • Each venue adds something: long keys and chords, shake keys you tap fast, a tempo that breathes, slide keys you drag, lights that go down, and dark bass keys for both hands. The first of each waits on the line and shows you how.
  • Practice is slower and can't be lost. Listen lets Minim play it for you.
  • Daily Recital changes every day. Long Night runs one piece after another until you slip, for the board.
  • Keyboard: D F J K for the four lanes. One finger each side works well on a phone.

Daily Recital

Long Night

One piece after another, each a little faster, with no slips forgiven. Everyone plays the same running order on the same keys. Your score goes on the board.

Keytap

Play the classics, one key at a time

Tap the falling ivory keys and they play the tune while the left hand keeps time, on a piano built entirely in code. Take Minim the mouse from a street corner to the Grand Hall through 42 famous pieces, with shake keys, slides, dimmed lights and both hands. Slip and the piece ends, though first tries forgive a little.

How to play

Play 42 famous classical pieces by tapping falling piano keys as they reach the golden line, taking Minim the mouse from a street corner to the Grand Hall. Finish a piece for a star, and encores come back faster, up to three stars; a wrong tap or a missed key ends the piece, though first tries forgive a little. Tap or hold keys with your fingers, or use D, F, J and K on a keyboard; later venues add shake keys you tap fast and slide keys you drag.
