Totem Chant Rise game guide
Goal of the game
In Totem Chant Rise you play with the loudness of your voice. Chant, hum or sing: the LOUDER you are, the TALLER the magic totem grows and the higher the lion spirit on top rises. Be quiet to shrink it back down. Catch the scrolling stars with the lion head, and dodge the dark vultures.
Power-up orbs float by — catch them with the lion too. Adjust the sensitivity slider so a normal voice reaches the middle.
