It would be great if you could compose on the preview screen as well. That way, I don't have to go back and forth so many times just to see which keys I need and which I don't

Decent. Would have been nice if the better composers among us could have used more than just quarter notes...

As usual, awesome game, although there is little to no feeling of accomplishment if you only use random, and I'm EXTREMELY bad at composing music... 5/5

5/5 for a contest entry, but 4/5 as a kongregate game. If a person doesn't know what they are doing, they will just hit random every time and not be able to finish the game. If a person DOES know what they are doing, having to create up to 32 bars of music for every level takes a long time. Great game for music composers, but not the average gamer.
