Awesome interpretation of the scale theme. The retrowave aesthetic is very apparent and I see that you know your ways with beat in this one. Good job for a 48 hours game! :)

That's a really neat and unique interpretation of the theme! It's so fun, especially once the beat starts coming together. The rhythmic gameplay is well executed, my only feedback would be for the bomb blocks to be less common. Great game!
I have no idea whats going on, and it needs extra precision in order to be played, but it looks and feels like an awesome concept, specially for me, beeing someone who plays guitar hero ’till this day myself, and love rythym games. Hope to see further development on this game!
Music was good, and the tying the music blocks to the music was a good choice. This is the first game I've seen that I think successfully used musical scales as the interpretation of the theme. I had an issue with the controls. When I tried to drop the blocks to the beat it wouldn't let me, so I ended up waiting for the block to go over the previous note and just spamming the button until it worked. I'm assuming this isn't intended and it was supposed to be more like a rhythm game? Despite that, I was still able to beat it, so wasn't too bad. Overall great concept.
Nice aesthetics! Also loved the music and how you build it by dropping blocks at the rhythm of the music. It took me a while to understand how the game works.
Fun game! The Music is awesome and building the melody feels very satisfying
Very satisfying, "short-but-sweet" game. I was pleasantly surprised that the music became more layered as I was placing the notes right, it really improved the feel of the game.
I love the vibes!!! Took me a while to properly be on beat to drop the blocks and notes but love it!!!
Really great vibes for the game. I think the controls are a little finnicky (it took me a while to realize the reason it wouldn't let me place blocks is it hard to be right on the beat), but overall I enjoyed my time!
Cool interpretation of the theme! I wish the timing for the beat was a tad more forgiving. Oftentimes, I'd hesitate to press on the beat because the cursor was on the column I didn't want to drop the block on, only to move over to the correct one a split second after the beat. Still, groovy game! Would love to see more levels and more pentatonic scales.
Bonus points for actually managing to get me to tap my foot on the beat!
