Harpsichord Hover

Flap a winged harpsichord over the spires of Salzburg. Float over the baroque domes and spires of Salzburg at dusk with pixel Mozart on a little winged harpsichord. Tap to flap, slip between bell towers, marble columns and velvet curtains and catch golden quills in this free one-tap flying game.

Twist: A metronome light blinks at the top, and every flap played on the beat earns 5 extra points.

Parody. Mozart has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

How to play

  1. Watch the little metronome light at the top of the screen. Flap while it is lit and the note lands ON BEAT for +5.
  2. Flying in rhythm adds up fast, but staying in the air comes first: skip a beat rather than flap into a column.
  3. Tap, click, or press Space / Up arrow to flap the harpsichord's wings; let go and it drops. Every gap you clear is 10 points and every golden quill 25.
  4. Bell towers, marble columns, theatre curtains and the ground all stop the music. The gaps narrow and the tempo of the flight rises, and later some towers glide up and down.
  5. Press M for sound and P or Esc to pause, then share the score after the last note.

The story

Pixel Mozart has a head so full of tunes that they keep spilling out faster than he can write them down. This evening, while the sun sinks behind the fortress on the hill, the little walnut harpsichord in his music room has finally had enough of waiting. It has grown a pair of white feathered wings, and every time he presses a key it gives a happy flap and lifts him a little higher over the green copper domes and twin spires of Salzburg, in what can only be called a Harpsichord Hover. Down below, the river glitters, the lamps come on one by one and the whole old town seems to hum along.

The town is getting ready for a grand evening concert, and pixel Mozart has promised a brand-new tune that does not exist on paper yet. The only way to finish it in time is to catch the golden quills drifting over the rooftops, each one carrying a few fresh notes, and scribble the melody before the candles in the hall are lit. But the sky is crowded with candle-lit bell towers, marble columns from the concert hall and heavy red theatre curtains. One clumsy flap and the music stops. How far can he fly before the first bow?
