the artwork is beautiful, but I would have liked it if the correct note corresponded to the note of the background music. Other than that great job

Pretty challenging game, but looks good and plays good!

Nice job! Really great concept and nice use of post processing effects :) I just found that it was hard to press the keys in the right moment, the game was a bit unforgiving in that regards, but besides that nice work!

Very interesting concept! Couple nitpicks: I think I would like to be able to go through the intro quicker (via user input) and also I think it would be better if we could try the tutorial again immediately after failing without having to walk back up and go through the dialogue again. The art style and animation is really cool! The gameplay was a little tricky to get the hang of, but it eventually clicked for me. I wasn't sure if there was a way to beat the first level? Is it endless? I got to a score of about 90 before deciding to call it quits. Hopefully I didn't quit right before it ended. Anyways, I enjoyed it. Nice job!

The visual has some cool ideas :) As per the rhithm, the idea is cool, but i think it can be improved in two ways:
- The button to press and the UI should be the same orientation, otherwise it feels a bit strange, so for a QWE setting, i would've opted for a horizontal UI, instead of vertical; 
- Button hitbox should be a little bit more big.
I hope you keep improve the game! The story and character design is very cool :)

Liked the intro but didn't understood how to pass the first boss.

I really like the look of the game! The battle mechanics were a little confusing tho. My timed jumps seemed disconnected by the music timing when I missed one of them.

Nice intro and sound desing, but i missed the weird balance dude, and didnt understood how to play the game from the start. So what i would advice is to give people this tutorial from the start, or move weird balance dude to the entrance, so people wont miss him :D

P.S Also loved the cuphead game vibes

I liked the game and intro but could not get the timing sorted even when I go a good comment. Maybe needs some more simplistic learner levels before the big bosses?
