Sorry this came so late, but there's now a single-player mode. Just create a room and click "Start a one-player game" when you're the only one in there!

no single player mode (but I could add one!) – would you be interested in playing 1p beyond just kicking tires?

i've never played it, but a guy in a coffee shop (a patron) once gave me his Smule business card(!!) and i checked his songs on there; looks like they have a real cult following

the game doesn't play or stream any audio (though i think maybe a countdown timer or other fun sound effects would be nice)

players usually either a) play in real life on their phones or b) use something like Google Meet or Discord to sing their lyrics

that being said, the "buzz in" feature is sensitive to latency (but, in my experience, it usually takes players a few seconds to think of a song that fits the target word anyway)

that sounds awesome! do you recall what it was? i'd love to check it out. (and thanks!)

happy you're into it – hope you enjoy!

(and hopefully this goes without saying, but if there's anything i can do to make it a better experience, please let me know :))
