Tone Hole Version 1.1 Is Now Available!
I’ve added some easy-to-understand feedback at the end of each level so you’ll have a good idea of whether to move to the next level, repeat a level, or gear down on an easier level. After hearing from a bunch of you comments like “I’m not sure whether I should repeat a level or move […]

Tone Hole v. 1.0.5 is available!

Tone Hole v. 1.0.4 Available!

I added dynamic graphics, tweaked the sound design, and made scoring clearer. More fun. More plays. Better ears.
Tone Hole version 1.0.3 is available!
