Counterpoint

In music, a counterpoint is a compositional technique where a set of distinct melodies are played in conjunction with each other according to a set of fixed rules. This idea, (in a heavily simplified form), is the basis of Counterpoint.

The goal of the game is to match a given musical pattern by placing towers on a grid. A central tower will send out an energy pulse at the start of each cycle, and any towers that are hit by this pulse will play a note and then send out a pulse of their own. The pitch the note that each tower plays (low, medium, or high) depends on the color of the space it is placed on.

In each level, you will be given a melody to copy. Your goal is to link the towers together so that they play this melody. Each stage consists of 5 levels (and 5 melodies). When you complete a stage, all of the melodies from that stage will play together, creating a primitive musical counterpoint.
