Notes and decisions based on playtesting

• Joystick movement too senstive
• Change movement to  movecharacter wherever input is
• Changed gameplay to be in two phases: attacking and dodging
• Rhythms now must be hit in sequence instead of multiple chances to hit anytime on beat
• Added new faster/complex rhythms since gameplay change makes game easier to handle
• Added new fireballs as projectiles
• Updated tutorial
• Telegraph certain boss attacks with danger panels, forcing player to stay in one lane
• Updated tunnel movement to give illusion tunnel is twisting and turning instead of one monotonous torus
• Sound effects can be confusing (not clear if it is positive or negative sound)

Must complete

• Finish new levels
• Fix joystick sensitivity
• Telegraph attacks/make it easier to read complex sequences
• Implement new healthbar art
• Rearrange HUD
• Make cutscenes
• Have adjustable beat threshold for laggy set ups and quality of life
