Make Some Noise (MSN)

Make Some Noise is a game that takes place on the sidelines with an overly enthusiastic Techo screaming his lungs out for his team.

Make Some Noise is in HTML5, and can be played on either the computer or on a mobile device.

How to Play

The goal of the game is to show as much spirit as possible by cheering on your team. The higher your sound meter is, the better your overall points for the game.

Controls & Gameplay

In game, you are controlling how roudy the audience can become by increasing the noise meter. Depending on what device you are using, there are different controls in playing the game.

Computer

Using your keyboard, you will notice that the game will randomly select two letters (or symbols). Pressing one of the two letters will start the game. You have 30 seconds on the clock to toggle between the two randomly given letters.

Once you press one of the two letters, the game officially begins. You now have to continuously press the buttons, or toggle, as fast as you physically can to get the sound meter as high as it can go for the next 30 seconds. The longer you keep the meter into the red zone, the more points you will receive. You will also find how many points are being earned and how much time you have left by looking below the sound meter.

Sometimes a bonus letter will appear at the top of the screen. While you are also toggling between two letters, try to press the bonus letter to get some bonus points. The quicker you press the bonus letter, the more bonus points you receive. If you are in the red zone of the sound meter, there is a higher chance of getting more bonus letters in play.

Mobile

On mobile, the game is slightly different. Instead of letter keys, you are given two cheer cones buttons on each side of your screen. Using your finger, you must tap the cheer cones back and forth to raise the cheer meter.

Instead of random letters, there are presents that will be randomly located at the top of the screen for you to tap to earn bonus points.

Scoring

Aside from earning a lot of points by tapping letters or cheer cones non-stop for 30 seconds, you are also given points by your tap skill rating. This measures how clean you tap the letters on your keyboard, or cheer cones on your mobile device screen in time. Your rating will be higher if you do not make any mistakes.

Strategies

There are a couple strategies when playing Make Some Noise.

Use an extended keyboard
The amount of horror stories we've heard about players using their laptops or favorite keyboard when playing this game is real. When toggling between letters, you will be slamming against your keyboard. To prevent breaking your precious devices, we recommend having a separate extended keyboard to use for this game. You'll then feel more confident to toggle without worrying about breaking your device.

Ending before the game ends
Sometimes it's not about how long you can do a task. If you choose to go the full 30 seconds, there will be a moment where your body slows down and points decrease. When playing on your computer, you do not have to play the full 30 seconds. You can press the space bar to end the game quickly when you've reached a high amount of points. Note: when playing on a mobile device, you must play the entire 30 seconds as there's no way to end the game early.

Find a comfortable position
Letters are generated randomly per game and sometimes the placement of the lettering pair can feel uncomfortable. Before starting, find a position that is comfortable for you to toggle between letters. Maybe it means moving around your keyboard, or maybe standing up versus sitting down.
