Great game, liked the art, sound effects and the simple but very entertaining gameplay
I had to keep reloading the page until the game finally loaded. Glad there are instructions to use arrow keys but beyond that I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. The pixel art graphics are cool. It's very unforgiving and I keep dying so it was more frustrating than enjoyable. I want to understand though—Help!
Just press the arrow key that matches the one on screen.
I see. When I load the game, the instruction dialog is still showing and that is obscuring the arrows. It goes away only when I die after 2-3 key presses. [update: I realized clicking on one of the Roman numerals cleared the box. I'm assuming those are difficulty levels? There should be instructions to choose one with the mouse.]
Some screen resolutions cause the background to be visible, you shouldn't be able to see behind the main menu until you click a difficulty option
Great idea for a game.
Great game! This is a lot of fun, I like the simple art and game mechanic. In case you're unaware though if you beat a again it will only display your first score.
Fixed it, thanks
This is a fun yet simple game, you should add a time limit to make failing a bit easier.
Great idea, I am not much of a rhythem game person myself, but if this was converted so you had to press the arrows at the right time as they slid on the screen, this would be such a great rhythem game! Bit confused on how the levels worked, but this was so good :)
great idea, i actually felt like Sisyphus playing it!
Simple but sweet little game, I managed to complete all 3 difficulties. Well done!
Well that brought a smile to my face. Well executed idea. I was a bit confused by the three levels though - I didn't quite see any difference. Maybe if you were given a set time and had to complete before the timer ran out, it could be frantic.
