Very neat spin on the theme.

The music is so good! I couldn't beat the first level and I saw you had a second version, which definitely shows better the idea. I had a lot of fun playing it, surely a good rating!

The game was super good but I did find the first level a little hard

This is a good game. The first level is too hard for a first level I think. But I don't normally play rythm games so what do I know.

Nice Game, don´t think lvl 1 worked but othewise it was all good

The audio was great! But I felt like the notes were a bit of beat.

The reverse mechanic is interesting, made it challenging to complete.
I was honestly trying to spend more time trying to align my click that wasn't  paying much attention to anything else.

Turns out the first level had an accidental bug at build time. So no matter how hard you try the right side notes aren't gonna add up. Check out BacwardsBeat2 on my profile if you would like to see how it was supposed to play. Thanks for leaving a comment and feedback!
