Yeah, I enjoyed this one. 

Good idea, simple but good presentation, and solid controls. 

My main gripe was that it felt a bit unfair that the red enemies' shots were so fast that dodging was very difficult, but the player's slow bullet speed forced you to close the distance anyway. Maybe some telegraphing (change colour before shooting, perhaps?) could make it feel more balanced.

A very solid entry!!

Awesome idea to merge gameplay with actual audio!

I think the idea was really good but a bit ruined by those "pixel" sound effects for the note explosions.

Keeping only the tone (maybe randomizing the pitch) for the explosion could have improved a LOT the overall feel!

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Been wanting to update all the sounds so they are some kind of musical instrument instead of the pixelated stuff. Definitely near the top of the To-Do list. :)

Fantastic! Looking forward to it :)

Awesome! No problems at all! The game is very polished, and interesting. It doesn't get too chaotic though (or I didn't play for long enough).

Very innovative gameplay, great visuals, I like how you incorporated melodies to escape from chaos. Had fun playing it, good work :)

A solid entry with good graphics and an interesting premise.

It is certainly chaotic as well.

Good job! :)

Really cool concept, it definitely has something addicting to it! I also really enjoyed the visuals and the sound effects. I'm not sure if it is intended that there is no soundtrack, because you kind of make your "own" melody with the soundblocks, but I think it could have improved the flow of the game a bit. Overall, pretty cool stuff in my opinion!
