How to play Chordfall


Basic rules

Coming soon... in the meantime, here are the keyboard shortcuts:

N plays a new chord

R repeats the last chord played

You can use the arrow keys to select an animal or to position an animal in the wagon.  Windows is a little touchy; for some reason, you have to mouse over the wagon a few times before it will let you use the arrow keys.

ENTER will play a chord, select an animal, or place an animal into the wagon.


Menu options

Game menu

New Game (CTRL-N) starts a new game.

Choose Level... brings up the level selection screen.  Click the up and down arrows on the screen, or press the up and down arrows on your keyboard, to change the game level.

Benchmarks... launches the benchmarking screen.

Quit to Interval Loader transports you to the Interval Loader game machine.

Quit ETC (CTRL-Q) shuts down the game board.

Options menu

Auto Play saves you from having to keep clicking the Notes button.  Check Auto Play "on" and it will produce new chords for you every time you click a tile.

Piano, Guitar, and Random allow you to select which instrument(s) you want to hear.  Random instruments are only available once you have reached a certain level in the game.

Remember Level, when selected, will start each new game at the level you left off.

Help menu

High Scores... displays your current high scores.  (Or low scores, you could say.)

Show Hint displays a hint for the round in play.
