Avoid Hitting Piano

Avoid Hitting Piano is a very fast side-scrolling game where the player is Ludwig van Beethoven in Vienna, 1826. He is late to deliver the musical score for his latest string quartet, opus 131 in c sharp minor, and now has to get it to the destination quickly.

Players control different characters, one at a time, as they run through the scenery, tapping the screen anywhere to jump over objects or characters that pass by. When one of them accidentally hits one, the game is not over right away, but a second chance is given by synchronizing the word "Beethoven" over the word "piano" multiple times, in a very different environment.

The game also tries to confuse the player by quickly skipping to different segments at different speeds, often changing the protagonist as well as the colours in the environment.
