I made a game where you use an animation of the tongue, jaw, and lips to guess the word that is being spoken. ericlgame.itch.io/guess-the-word

I created a synthesizer that is played on the computer keyboard. I've recorded some songs here. soundcloud.com/eric-chen-34/sets/karplus-strong-synthesizer
