When I try to click on the play button nothing happens. I'm playing on a pc. I was just wondering if this is a common issue. It really sucks because I REALLY wanted to play this right now. :(

Reply to this commentI don't know who it was that I was playing with, but the music was great!

Reply to this commentPlaying on windows 8 ultra-book w/ touch screen.
Reply to this commenti can only use touch screen to play. I cant click the play button. and when i touch to play, my cursor just goes to the top of the screen. i can't play any note other than the highest one.
I can still pick colors though.
Is this a common issue?
WOW i am amazed but it is quite boring if nobody wants to join :-(
Reply to this commentjesus christ this kicks ass ...
Reply to this commentI wish there was a single player mode.
Reply to this commentI think the Plink needs fixed; I can't click the "play" button.
Reply to this commentBut Plink is actually down right now ... it has been unavailable for two days ... :(
Reply to this commentWell, it's past the end of the world, and it crashes, so DEATH TO GOOGLE!
Reply to this commentAbsolutely genius!!!!
Reply to this commentBTW: Always sounds "pretty" 'cause you can only play tones of the pentatonic scale in C! Great idea!!!!
This is awesome!!!! Love to randomly play with people ^_^

I love the concept, and I love what I've seen of it, but I can't seem to get any sound to work, I've checked everything I know to and it should be working, but I just don't get the feedback for sound from the game.
Reply to this commentL O V E this game. Definately one of my favourite places on the net, I keep chrome installed just for this. Would love the ability to set up either private sessions or invite plinkers who have a clue to plink with you. Often you'll be jamming away and then some kid/blithering idiot will join who just wants to make noise by moving their mouse up and down, seemingly not realising the awesome potential of making plink music. I would even sign up for an account. Would love just a little more functionality, but still great effort.
Reply to this commentThe experiment 404's. I really love it.

Reply to this commentMy screen is still white, too.
yes i have the new crome version and yes also a flash player..
pls can one of u help me? :/
Reply to this commentamazing....
Reply to this commentless from a technical viewpoint but from the fact that you can easily jam some pleasant tunes with other people together!
It doesn't work for me :( It says "You've been idle for too long, or perhaps the server had to reboot! Please reload you browser if you'd like to keep playing."
Reply to this commentFenomenal!!!!!!!!
Reply to this commentDUDE..... this is so freaking awesome... I want one of these for my home. lol seriously I was on at 5 in the morning.. with 2 and sometimes 3 other people. we jammed for almost 40 minutes. I t was SO COOL... would be really cool if you could allow the ability to record and save a session. THANKS. I will be back again and again

Reply to this commentmy screen is just white

Reply to this comment???
Reply to this commentit's just amazing ! a real good job , and creative idea...thx for that
Reply to this commentWow, this in incredible. Awesome when you get a couple people who also have some musical talent.
Reply to this commentVery good experiment by chrome team! Need to improve the choice of the instruments for better user experience.
Reply to this commentOh my god, this game is amazing :D
Reply to this commentThis is 2 good 2 be true. It's the best online experience iv'e had in years.
Reply to this commentYes, it''s a great fun. Thanks to Dinahmoe!
Reply to this commentcan't get any sound :\ running latest chrome as well
Reply to this commentturn your volume on
Reply to this commentVraiment vraiment vraiment génial comme concept je like :D
Reply to this commentIt's such an amazing idea! I bet we could record what we're playing. Great experience.
Reply to this commentThis could be improved - as many people are saying - by adding a chat and different rooms/private ones... when it gets over three people in the game it seriously lags for me. I do enjoy playing with one person because of the lag... anything we can do about that?
Reply to this commentThis song made me shit a dildo.
Reply to this commentIt does not work for me. After entering my name I just get a blank gray screen and nothing happens. I am using Chrome 17.0.963.56 and I have cleared my cache. It really sucks since the game works on all of my friends computers and I would really like to play with them.
Reply to this commentI have the same problem. Its a shame: this looks really fun.
Reply to this commentDisabling download manager helped me to solve this problem
This is so much fun!
Reply to this commentthis thing is boss. i mean bawss! It's a shame it's latency affects things so they're not always on rhythm, but I'd improve on adding a chat and possibly channels
Reply to this commentalso, some way to record would be absolutely incredible
Reply to this commentLove this... i just wish there were more sounds :D
Reply to this commentI made a beautiful sounding tune on ToneCraft. Also, Plink is pretty cool, I play with the best people
Reply to this commentWow... addicting! I love it!!!
Reply to this commentI cannot play
Reply to this commentHow do u play offline multiplayer?
Reply to this commentHmm I get the You've been idle for too long error everytime.. I'm using the latest version of Chrome on a Mac
Reply to this commentI agree with 'loopia': great!
Reply to this commentImmediately disconnects and says I've been idle too long. Got the same thing when I first tried months ago.
Reply to this commentlove this. keep coming back to it. and bringing a friend with me this time :D !!!
Reply to this commentAwesome
Reply to this commentBest chrome experiment ever!! :D
Reply to this commentWow! Thanks for all the nice feedback! You guys are the reason we do these kind of projects.
Reply to this commentDo you plan on adding chat and shortcut keys?

Reply to this commentVery awesome, a chat and maybe multiple rooms to pick from would be cool. The rooms could be based on preferences to tempo and tone.
Reply to this commentThis is amazing!!!
Reply to this commentI second that.
Reply to this commentThats perfect ,i like orange that sound so cool , like some kinda chinese music :D AWESOME
Reply to this commentwow!

Reply to this commentOkay believe it or not i just played this for 3 straight hours. played a duet with some guy named seifer and we killed it
Reply to this commentThe interaction I feel when making music with others is stronger than any other kind of interaction I have felt online
Reply to this commentI know exactly what you mean! I play the viola in a group orchestra, and they all ended up the closest friends I've ever had through music. It's the same online, and this experiment completely reflects that.
Reply to this commentI loved it! The sound forms a beautiful music no matter who plays or what they play... Thanks for the fun!
Reply to this commentThis is amazing! If they added chat, it would be perfect! Also, how do you add a private room? I can't edit the url in the window. Using chrome on mac version 15.0.874.121
Reply to this commentOMG I played it for way too long I like the light blue one. Plink is GREAT!
Reply to this commentchat would be great
Reply to this commentI played this for waaaaaaay too long
Reply to this commentAwesome program. It could use some shortcut keys to quickly change instruments. A chat system would also help so the "band members" could communicate.
Reply to this commentMultitouch!!
Reply to this commentgood
Reply to this commentI just found out that I can make good music! This is so cool. It sounds good even when I am clicking randomly everywhere.
Reply to this commentHAVE MY FRIGGING BABIES! NOW!!!!!!!! ILOVE THIS

Reply to this commentexelente muy rapido
Reply to this commentBuaahh! This is very fun to play with. It sounds like something I would hear from Adventure Time.
Reply to this commentTHis thing needs a record button. Just played around with it for 5 minutes with 4 random people .. it was amazing!
Reply to this commentawesome, played it via HD 5.1 TV. Got to be one of the best out there, totally addictive, almost sexual at times:)
Reply to this commentvery nice and creative!!
Reply to this commentvery fun and creative! extraordinary!
Reply to this commentThis is awesome!
Reply to this commentlatest version of chrome, colored squares on side, instructions below, title-stuff above nothing else much to see.. site overload?
Reply to this commentWowowowo, è pazzesco!!! MITICI
Reply to this commentOK now that's a ton of fun! Whoever I just did the duet with is great! I'm gettin' the band back together =O
Reply to this commentawesome!
Reply to this commentAfter I enter my name it stops loading. Version 15.0.874.102
Reply to this commentHelp! It won't load past the name screen and i really want to play it! I'm using the latest chrome beta 15.
Reply to this commentWish they would make an android app for this. that would be so awesome because then I could do this when ever I want on my phone.
Reply to this commentdoesnt work on my pc too. Chrome 14 ofc.
Reply to this commentrestarted, uptaded again and still blank screen. TuneCraft works perfect.
Reply to this commentVery fun! I will keep this bookmarked! Also, Apollo###, we made a pretty good team. :D
Reply to this commentit wont load past the name thing
Reply to this commentAre you using Chrome 14?
Reply to this commentI've never been able to play, because after I enter my name and press OK, the screen stays blank. If I wait it out, it tells me I've been idle. :c
Reply to this commentVery mysterious. Hm.. Are you sure you're not using a proxy server? If you know where to find it; do you get any error messages in your javascript console?
Reply to this commentI only like the game when it's actually WORKING.
Reply to this commentI love this, but was only able to play once. Since then, I haven't been able to do anything. I enter my name, and then get a blank screen right up until the point where it tells me I've been idle for too long, and I can see my cursor and a few others just floating there. It's really a shame, I very much enjoyed what I was able to get.
Reply to this commentMake sure you empty your browsers cache! The experiment has been updated on both client and server side, so maybe you're still having the old one cached?
Reply to this commentFantastic idea well presented. Don't stop adding to it. I'd love the ability to have a quick chat with people in my ... scale of notes to ask for a particular type of beat to work better together. And yes recording would be fantastic.
Reply to this commentAwesome
Reply to this commentIt keeps saying I've been idle too long when it's my first time here. I enter my name in 1 second. Seems like a bug to me
Reply to this commentYep, it was a bug. I think it's fixed now, so please let me know if you still have troubles connecting!
Reply to this commentIt's still happening to me......
great is the word
Reply to this commentVery cool indeed, but the lack of being able to play with friends is detrimental to the fun of the game. I feel like rooms get over crowded as well and you don't feel like you're contributing to the music!
Reply to this commentIndeed. We're updating the game today, with private rooms!
Reply to this commentAnd it seems there was a bug introduced during the update where the roof of max 4 players were blown.
Impressive! :D very funny too

Reply to this commentLove it ! Live it!!
Reply to this commentmohon cepat proses loading oneline internet
Reply to this commentsnake here ? no
Reply to this commentThis is amazing, but need more instruments, options, etc and it will be awesome.
Reply to this commentWOW! That's probably the best one I've seen yet! Great job! I could play with this for hours on both my computers at the same time! It syncs really fast too! Once again great job! :)
Reply to this commentCant get enough!!! allow recording!!!
Reply to this commentLOVVVVE IT!
Reply to this commentPure genius!
Reply to this commentVery cool!
Reply to this commentOh yes, I love it.
Reply to this commentThis is wonderful. Put more instruments into it/allow for custom instruments + selectable scales/quantization + save function and this can actually be used to make *good* music by jamming online.
Reply to this commentVery cool. Had lots of fun interweaving melodies with fellow players.
Reply to this commentawesome program. The music sounds e extraordinary with many people playing. Great job creating this.
Reply to this commentsorry for the extra e. Awesome program. The music sounds extraordinary with many people playing. Great job creating this.
