Hi, thanks for the feedback and its very high praise from someone who writes music that you liked it.
I agree, I think my mixing on the drums was off especially for a rhythm game that only has down beats implemented, I needed to make the kick and the snare pop more and have the other parts of the beat fade out to keep you focused on the right aspects. As well as some kind of visual indicator whether you were early or late as others have mentioned.
That is cool that you write music. I will take a look at your profile on itch, but also feel free to link me anything you are wanting to share back on this thread.
Thanks very much for playing!
Have a great day.
