The difficulty doesn't really match up with how well the song ends up sounding. I found that I can mangle a song and still pass it. Other than that, really neat game!

I really wish they have a "sandbox" mode where you can place your notes wherever you want to. Vote down if it already exists... and plz tell me about it. =/

I request a song made, since I lack the skill at this game. Can some one please perform the song of healing on this game? Thank you.

the controls are horrible
and in some countries the y and z keys are reversed. that makes in nearly impossible to play songs that have many Ys and Zs.

Key mapping is pretty bad. Look at how FL studio does their key mapping, black keys on numbers, white keys under that, etc. I shouldn't be confused which notes I'm supposed to hit while playing Flight of the Bumblebee (which I've played in real life). Even with the tempo slowed down it's way harder than it should be.
Play should have a number of speed options, including "original tempo". Even with the speedup most of the songs are way too slow.
Most of the arrangements are pretty decent, but some, namely Lizsts' Liebestraum, are pretty bad. The song was written for piano so you shouldn't have to change much.
The song selection could be better. Lots of cliche songs and a few more obscure ones. Certain ones don't seem appropriate at all for what this game is trying to accomplish.
Other than that, this is a terrific game. I wish there were more games like it. I like that you have to use ALL the keys instead of only like 5 or 6 of them like on Guitar Hero.

ç_ç piano is a good instrument cause you can :1 play all notes, even the higher and the lower used in music 2 play more notes at the same time 3 more important, the most important reason the piano was created for is for the ability to play a note softly or strongyl....
this game can't. fail.

I'd like to point out that this teaches you absolutely nothing about the piano. I've been playing for 12 years, and I love my piano and all the music I play. This doesn't come close to the real thing. However, I will admit for those without the time or skill to actually go play a piano, it is a nice distraction. But personally, I find it distasteful... particularly the control layout and the inability to play the black keys... I rate it a 3/5 for simply being slightly creative. Nothing more.

I think they should replace "hit" with "OK" because at first when I got like 100 wows and 10 hits, I only saw the hits and thought i'd done pretty shocking.... :/

good concept, but its not the real thing. When changing octave frequently you have to change hand positions, its not something you can change.

I feel I dont appreciate this game as much as I should. All I was thinking was "This is like guitar hero but without the bonus of guitars"

As a verified pianist, I can assure you, that this is not how the piano works :P
Great concept, however, good introduction for those who have never played it before... me on the other hand, found it rather slow.

This game is NOT formatted for mac keyboards :( there needs to be a setting for this. Also pretty near impossible on a reduced laptop keyboard for either kind of computer. Generally, the button layout is the only problem I have.
Perhaps adding a way to play through an actual MIDI keyboard could help? your game has the basis of being a VERY good teaching tool to play real piano, especially if MIDI is added

Seems it's more of a classical music piano maybe some other setting so we could play
funk/rock/techno/90s style music maybe an echo feature would be cool
Great game 5/5

I agree with spuster007.
More options where I can configure the controls would be an AMAZING addition. I'd love to actually know the song I'm playing and/or play it at full speed, but my laptop lacks a number pad, so switching around or hitting A and 1 with my left hand it just weird.

Good game, I just can't do it. Even though I play the piano myself, this is harder because this is a keyboard, not piano, 4 rows versus 2.

Best musical game ever, way closer to playing the actual instrument (multi finger usage) than any other "guitar" game.
PD:add midi keyboard support =)

It would be nice if there was an option where you could configure the controls. My laptop doesn't have a numpad so I can't exactly play the right hand unless I use the top row of num keys which feels very awkward.

I got to llvl 6 and something sated to sound wrong... All the notes sounded flat. As I thought it was just the song I carried on, then decided to change to clicking the onscreen keyboard. Low and behold all the keys where at the ight pitch! I'm not sure how I made them flat, but does anyone know how I can chagne it back?
Overall a great game btw :D And I agree, just because it isn't made by armorgames and doesnt have guns in it doesnt mean its a C**p game!
