Aux Battles

Rating 0.5 to 5 stars instead of picking a single favourite is a nice call. With pick-one voting, a song that everyone quietly likes loses to one that half the room loves, so the stars probably make the leaderboard fairer. How do you handle ties, and what happens when someone drops mid-round after submitting a song? We build a 4-player browser game, and a player closing the tab halfway through turned out to be one of the most annoying cases to get right. Curious whether their song still gets voted on.

The 4-letter room code plus no-login setup is exactly the right call for a party game — the second you ask people to make an account before they can vote on songs at a get-together, half the room checks out. The blind voting is what makes it actually work as a game rather than just a shared playlist, since otherwise everyone just votes for whoever's song they recognize. The Twitch integration with chat voting is a smart extra surface too — that's a genuinely different use case (streamer + audience) from the friend-group version, not just a bolted-on feature.
