Patatap: weird website review & sites like it

Patatap turns your keyboard into a drum kit and a light show. Press any letter and a colorful animated shape bursts across the screen while a sound plays; each key has its own pairing, and the set changes as you keep playing. There is no tutorial and no menu, only the pleasure of mashing keys and seeing what happens. It was made by jonobr1 and lullatone, and it is a good way to look busy while feeling like a tiny orchestra. Be warned: it contains flashing images, so it is not suitable for anyone sensitive to flashing lights, and it needs a physical keyboard, so it is a desktop experience. Turn your sound on, start with the whole alphabet, then try the space bar for a change of scene. It takes about five minutes to explore and can be a lovely small break, or a good way to entertain a kid at a keyboard.

Tips for getting the most out of it
