This is really well done!  Just wish it started with only two strings before building up to four.  Very difficult.  I'm really impressed with how complete it looks and feels.

Thanks for the feedback! Difficulty balancing was our biggest challenge. In the future, we hope to save way more time for external playtesting, as I think we mastered our own game too fast and forgot how new players would feel.

This is amazing! I really like this, just like osu, but piano and without mouse! Also arts is super mega duper puper ultra cool I just want to buy this piano and place it in my room! Maybe it a bit hard in my opinion, but it still soo cool. Greate work, dudes!

Thank you for the positive feedback! I am not an artist at all, so I'm really glad you enjoyed the style I went with! Ivory the piano is our new best friend, even if she reminds us of Clippy the paperclip...

The pixelated design is adorable, but the reversed rhythm game design makes it extremely challenging for my small brain to play. Typically, the rhythm action genre provides visual and musical rewards when I hit the correct note. However, this one encourages muting the wrong note instead, which is incredibly difficult. Nevertheless, it's still enjoyable once I grasp the concept. 🎉

Thanks for the feedback! We definitely struggled with the difficulty balancing.

I am so bad at rhythm games, but this reversed kind I can do a lot better! Nice idea for a game

Thanks for playing! Even a bad musician plays the right notes sometimes...
