Music catch
I don’t think there are many flash games that you can call art. But music catch is different. For me, it’s a big piece of art. Why?
As you know from the game’s name, for sure, this is another music game. And you sure know, that I love music games:o) So, what can be so great about a music game? What can make it special and even art? Of course, it’s music. Concept of this game is pretty simple, actually. You can define it only with two worlds - the game’s name - Music catch.
Your objective is to catch different shaped objects that are blue, yellow or purple and avoid red ones. If music is intensive, there are many objects, if it’s slow and peaceful, there is only a few. And that’s pretty much everything.
Even if this game is using only a few colors, it looks amazing. Especially for those, that love minimalistic graphics. But as I said before, the best thing, about this game is it’s piano music. Sounds amazing.
And the only problem about this game I found out? It’s a big one, actually. There’s only one song. That means, that the gameplay is quite short and if you want to play again, the game’ll be absolutelly the same. Fortunatelly the song is so good, that you don’t need to care about it:o)

It’s frustratingly dependent on luck. Luck determines how many “yellow multipliers” and “purple powers” appear, which in turn determines how many yellows and purples you can get at most. You can play and play and get every yellow and purple, but you just won’t be able to collect 50 multipliers or 2,000,000 points if the game doesn’t generate that many multipliers and powers in one session.
PS: it seams that the link doesn’t work… I’ve played the game here: Music catch

Broco: you are right, it heavily depend on luck, but I do not seems that as such a big problem in this game: I do not play this game for getting a big score, just enjoying it.
btw: link seems to work for me.
