it's hard in both the good and bad way. the early levels are easy on the level of boring, but if/when you die you have to start from scratch. the real difficulty is the starting from scratch after just barely missing the mark
ever since they made reviews 1pt i try not to give them unless the game deserves it, (because then i have to find 4 more games and rate them and it's frustrating...) anyway, this game earns it's five! By giving us a flash synthesizer to play with Notessimo has given us one of the greatest flash accomplishments I have seen (seeing as I am unaware of any other flashy music replicators that go into this depth). While there are numerous complaints that I have, this remains such a huge step in the right direction for goof off music making (while still being rewarding to those who make an effort) that it should be met with full endorsement by anybody who likes to compose.
My only real problem was i couldn't locate the Bass Clef (if it did exist) but that minor set back is easily excused when one looks at the whole.
