Nice to see a Pico-8 game with some pleasant art and music :)

Got 7,500 in the end

This game is sooo cool, I love the audio even if hit don’t hit often the correct note, gg ;)

Yeahhh the timing is really too fickle (you have to already be sitting on the right lane at the instant the beat changes, even if visually you were there a fraction of a second early/later).

That would definitely be an improvement I'd make with a bit more time

Wow, didn't expect Pico-8 during this, very cool! Interesting concept, very cool audio and I'm simply amazed this took only around 5.5 hours. Nice!

That's really nice to hear!

Too bad for the dev time, because otherwise I really enjoy this! The sound of the notes is also really pleasant, and the music coming out sort of makes sense, even if I assume it's randomly generated :D.

Thanks! Yeah the backing music is 12 bar blues, and the notes you hit are random notes from pentatonic scale for the chord that background is playing. 


I might put some more time into this at another point and improve the music algorithm and generally add some fit and finish

Cute version of guitar hero.
