My tip to make this easier: Use 2 fingers on different keys and use them on alternate beats. This allows you to be quicker while halving the work that one finger would have to do. I am currently up to speed 1.3x on the last level using this method :D

Not sure if my mouse is trashed from overuse or frustration, but I finally beat it. While the music was mostly enjoyable, it was a bit frustrating that near the end of 2-X and 3-X, the music completely drowned out the baseline of the more difficult portions, and had to do it based on visuals rather than sound.

Oddly enough, the dealbreaker for me is the 5-second countdown. It completely breaks any sense of flow by stopping me cold every time I screw up. And a game like this is going to be full of such screwups.

I simply love how the songs still sound beautiful and catchy each and every time you hear it, no matter how many times you lose. Mad respect to the game developer; this is easily one of the most creative games I have ever seen. 5/5

Yeah, the flashing colors are really bad, plus if there is needed two fast inputs it usually does not register the secon one

This game it's amazing!!! I think that if you could choose with level you want to repeat after you completed it would be good (sometimes you just want to practice with only one level in the world and you have to start all over) or maybe create a practice level with checkpoints and if you fail you restart from that checkpoint, but that's, in my opionion, not really necesary.
Something that i've been noticing it's that lately games are very easy, so having a game in which you need skills and to actualy try it's amazing.
Keep the good work, and i'm already waiting for a sequel!!!

Welp, I just cleared my data by trying to type the word 'accidentally' into chat. Maybe make it a little harder to clear data? Like something you have to actually click? Like every other game ever with a reset option?

I have no idea what this game wants me to do. Press what? With a mouse or keyboard? Is the beat when the red circle crosses the line on either side of the blue?

How the heck do you play this game?? The calibration told me three times that I was "Inconsistent".... how can tapping in time to the beat on my touchpad be inconsistent?

I played a bit of it and I really like the concept. However, I'm counting the beat and having the countdown from 5 almost consistantly screwing me up. Have the count down be for the beat, whether it is 2/4, 3/4, 6/8 or 9/8. Then I wouldn't be constantly messing myself up by "listening" to the wrong beat.

Many professional rhythm games have precise feedback which lets the player know when they are early or late, and by how much. Whether it's DDR's explicit great/excellent, or Rhythm Heaven's adorable art. Feedback would be nice, as I cannot tell how off-beat I am when I miss.

You're supposed to match the beat with mouse clicks, which implies you're supposed to have either a super durable mouse or a whole bucket of them, because after an hour or so, mine started to make double clicks when I click just once.

Nevermind. I, somehow was able to make it to 3-X. Probably not going to be able to beat, but that hard badge is like dangling in front of my face, teasing me. Not fair!

hey.. i solved 3-X (1x).. tried to solve 3-X (1.1x).. and closed the game.. next time i wanted to try 1.1x again.. tried to continue and seems like if i want to play 3-X (1.1x) again i have to complete 3-X (1x) again.. that is no good. What if i want to try 3-X (2x)? i have to complete insane levels in one session? :(

Finally completed 3-X! I wonder what the "You beat the game!" screen's gonna be like ... wait, next level: 3-X but 10% faster? Screw that!

Bah, on 3x the music keeps messing me up. It is great up to about 71% as the emphasis on the music is the beat, but then the emphasis changes to the riff which throws off the beat you get.

While I like the simplistic gameplay, I dislike that the only form of difficulty comes from "instant death". While I don't have good rhythm, I can see when my presses/clicks outright don't register. It becomes fairly annoying to keep failing when there is no 2nd chance and it isn't my problem.

I've somehow managed to get to 1.7x speed on 3-x. Is there an actual end to the speed boosts? My curiousity is indeed killing me. I think this is as far as I'm gonna get.

I'm having some difficulty with 3-X. Sometimes I even fail on straight lines because of the speed. I've tried recalibrating many times, and the offset varies between 0.01 and 0.08 every time - even with a consistency rating of A or B every time. Since I'm a hobby musician, I know my beat tapping isn't above 99% accuracy, but I know it's pretty decent, so I feel confident believing many of my errors must be either keyboard latency, or the game not picking up the strokes at a consistent delay. I've been almost through the level though, so I'll probably get it eventually, but I wish more could be done to make the errors solely based on human timing faults.

I wish there was a life/star type system in the levels. Like you're allowed to miss up to 3 times, but you lose a star for each life lost. It would allow people to actually BLINK in the middle of levels. I would like to block occasionally. It hurts when I don't.

Was trying to think of ways to make this game harder. Then I realized a mode called "Blindfold" could be added which would make it much harder but not impossible if it is not a new song. You see, the longer I did some of the songs though I realized I knew them without looking and found myself closing my eyes and still doing well. Could make a good impossible badge in perhaps a second game?????

You know,I hear all these people blabbing about 3-X... Well, I can't get past 1-X. I mean, seriously... We start off at a nice and easy pace... Then BAM. You're going off at 120 MPH down a public road. Seriously? PLEASE let us practice the faster speeds first. And if you're going to have the beat come in half way through the first part, could you bring it in gradually? It's rather off putting, going by sight, then suddenly having a beat that you know you're supposed to match come in and disrupt your flow. Please do keep in mind that not everyone is a musical genius. I genuinely do like the songs in this game, so I would like to enjoy them as well. But, of course, the steep difficulty curve is a bit too much for me.
