Too hard. Which is a shame because I can totally see this being so much fun if there were levels that gradually got harder instead of being immediately thrown into the pit of despair. Sick tunes though.

Hey, we made a GMTK game too. Check it out!

Very difficult, but I really liked the idea. It's a pretty common puzzle trope, but made exceptionally difficult by the time limit. The simplistic theme was perfect, as you needed to be able to process the level quickly. I loved the music too. My only gripe was that for a game that only plays for one second, having a 3 second waiting period means you're spending at least 75% of the time waiting. You might try to find a way to shorten that :) Well done!

I thought about this quite a bit while I was developing it, and 3 seconds is definitely far too long. The actual waiting period for this is 1/1.5 seconds (but still gives you a 3 'second' countdown) but I don't really know how much further I can go with the player still being able to reasonably prepare and buffer their first input before starting. I'd actually like to test this more at some point

I figured it must have been shorter. Once I got into a rhythm it actually didn't feel too bad, but what if you just take the button press as the first input? After an attempt put a half-second ignoring input and then the first button press starts the next round? Maybe make it an option? Just ideas, loved the game, and will likely revisit it :)

Should have some form of levels, but still very nice

The game couldn't be opened in Linux. Despite it saying that the binary is for Linux. Windows only build.

Thanks for pointing that out, I wasn't thinking when I was checking those boxes on submission

Awesome! Wasn't able to beat a single level but awesome!
