Twist: You are locked to a sine wave that can be manipulated.

This is an amazing entry! It's really innovative, awesome job!
Wow, that's an amazing idea. Trying to control it makes my head hurt in a good way :D
Fun concept! As someone else said, I almost expected the sound to adapt to the waves - that would've really taken the game to an entire new level! Still good fun game, the lose screen comment made me laugh HARD :D:D:D
I liked it, I thought it was a clever idea. I did run into this bug, though, when I tried to increase the amplitude and decrease the frequency a bit too much: http://puu.sh/dlFhA/407011470f.jpg
Oh god I really like the look of this but my java install doesn't like this jar at all. Is there a specific version of Java to use?
Opened it on Mac OS/X and the window flashed a few times then closed. I'll try again when I can get on my desktop.
Great idea! Tricky to get the hang of, but satisfying once you do.
Good idea. A bit frustrating, perhaps, because of the automatic movement, even if you can change the course somewhat.
A really interesting take on the "tower defense" genre! I wonder if you are going to extend this and what are your ideas.
I also wondered about a link between actual music and the sinewave.
I have encountered the same bug listed by Kwask, but at this point I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. Probably you are not allowed to get out of the screen.
One minor thing: make fullscreen possible :) My resolution didn't make it easy for me to play it!
Good job!
Like it. Very addictive. Easy to pick up, nightmare to master (in a good way)
Very innovative! Never would have thought of something like that. Also, you get fives stars in humor for that cosine joke XD
My favorite game I've played so far! It's such an unusual method of control, yet it's actually quite intuitive and it makes you feel really clever when you hit something you were aiming at (or dodge an enemy's shot).
I like the idea. Controlling is hard as we can move the basic axis up and down which would have add a dimension. Maybe some dynamic music as mention before in the comments. Very innovative.
I liked the idea and the game was fun, but it was really mind-bending control. :)
Pretty sure I've seen that explosion before though ;^)
Sorry, I can't play or rate because I got an Invalid or corrupt file error, and don't really have the patience to try to fix it right now... Looks cool though!
Loved your idea! Had trouble controlling it, but it was good play!
Interesting concept. I've not played something like this before.
Hey, I did a Sine wave based game myself for LD #26! (different gamplay) :)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Great Idea! I think the audio isn't too great though. Maybe if you are going sine wave music make it dynamic?
