Too difficult

Im not good at rhythym games; I'm well aware of that.  Although the fact that I cant get a final scene for the recent update even though I perfected it on easy is outrageous. not everyone is spending their lives at the arcade doing dance games, and I'm sure as heck not! 

Also, I recommend adding transparent lines, so that I can tell if multiple notes are meant to be played together, as sometimes they're too close together to tell.

In a nutshell I'm not good at rhythm games either, the rest of our crew are the real players, 

Easy difficulty is challenging for me, but it's interesting to try to follow the rhythm to make the beast husband fuck harder

Agreeing with ali_ath72 that the game seems  unusually difficult.  

It feels like the difficulties are actually one setting above what they say (i.e. easy is more like normal, normal is hard and hard is impossible).  I think adding in a very easy mode would be beneficial to get players used to the controls.  In order to still encourage players to go to harder difficulties you could either cap the scene progression at lower difficulties or add a special end scene at higher difficulties (assuming this isn't already done).

For people struggling, I did find that reducing the game speed to 3 helps a lot.  At default speed, the beats aren't on the screen long enough to really see what's coming.  At lowest speed, they bunch up together too much, making it difficult to tell the order.    

In-regards to simultaneous beat inputs, I would suggest making them different colors from normal beats.  That would make them much easier to tell them apart from rapid successive inputs, which become more common at higher difficulties.  Also, since people have 4 fingers, it would be fun to see instances where you had to press 3 or 4 inputs at once.   Dance rhythm games only stopped at 2 because people only have 2 legs.  

Hell difficulty has songs with 3 and 4 inputs!

As the charter of Easy and Normal difficulty, most of the charts are playable with 2 fingers only! If you are having trouble reading the charts, try to disable flashing and pulsing background. Changing the speed to 3-5 would also help!

I will also try to make sure the difficulty is more beginner-friendly next time. Thank you for your feedback!
