feels like a rage game (derogatory) also i dislike the music

Very cool Ideas. At first I was confused as how it fits into the theme but then the rythym change the scale too. I felt like this game is way too hard though. It may be do-able but I'd rather it be easier at start and get harder.
I also think the jump is a bit annoying as it is soo floaty.

I discover some bug with the ui, the level 3 and 4 is exactly the same with the only different being the pitch of the sound in the level

after I finish stage 5 I presses next stage and it goes back to stage 4.

overall very interesting concept with polishment and good level design this is a very potential game.

I really liked the idea, but it felt veeery slow to respond and very slow to have the opening to go again.

It was almost impossible to one shot any obstacle as you couldnt always see the entirety of what you were going through.

I think this could be a cool rhythm style platformer though.

It does feel satisfying to find the solution for a level. Given some polish, it would make a very enjoyable game, in my opinion.

Loved the idea and execution. Even though i was confused at first what i was supposed to do and what buttons to use.  Some instructions would have been nice and maybe some good music.  I hope you polish the game after the jam. Good luck.

Love the idea of rhythm being tied to scale. Level 5 with everything moving shows the great potential of this idea! Thank you for the fun game (:

I really like the concept, the movement of the obstacles with the music reminds me very much of the game Soundshapes, I appreciate that everything is your own work :) A checkpoint here or there to save progress would have saved the frustration of being sent back to the start every single mistake, overall its a nice game :)

Like others said, the idea is cool but it's too difficult

I like the idea, but the rhythm is too slow and grading. I think having an actual song would have made it far more enjoyable. I also think checkpoints should be more plentiful since it really sucks to have to wait through all the parts you've already done to try again.
