This is an entry to the Kenney Jam 2026 game jam, with its theme of "Scale". Only Kenney assets were used, with the main one, which inspired the game's theme, being Monochrome Pirates.

Playable on PC - Mouse only.


Welcome to Monoshanty, an educational game about degrees in the major and minor scales, with a scallywag coat of paint.

Our band of four pirates is preparing to leave their den for another voyage upon the seven seas. Alas, they cannot set sail before practicing their shanties! That's where you come in. Choose the chords that accompany our fearsome four as they belt out their favourite tunes, and watch how they react. Click the fish, known worldwide as the intrepid Captain McBubbles, for helpful, educational hints.

Completing each tune unlocks the next. Finish them all and send the pirates on their merry way!


HOW TO PLAY

  1. LISTEN: Hear the sung melody.
  2. CHORD LOCKER: Fill the bars left to right (roman numerals/scale degrees match the locker labels)
  3. PLAY: Hear melody plus your chords; watch crew mood
  4. The fish (The intrepid Captain McBubbles): Tap for tips on this shanty

Game looks nice. The idea is cool. I am not good enough with music to get it, but it is a nice idea!

Thanks! It's not you, I just needed more time to tutorialize it better.
