Brings back memories of typing games (but this is way cooler obviously). Awesome work, it's really fun!

At first I thought it was too difficult, but that did encourage me to keep playing!  I guess that means it's just right ;)

Developer

Yeah it's tricky alright. Thanks for giving it a try!

Nice game, the controls changing is a great idea. I also rated your game, so if you could try out and rate my game that would mean a lot :)

Surprisingly tricky but very addictive :)

Developer

Thank you! It gets easier when you learn the patterns a bit more.

"How hard can it be" Oh, boy!

It was very fun though, even if it took me a dozen tries to get past the first couple obstacles. But it's real fun once you get into the rhythm. Kudos on custom art and music too!

Developer

Thank you very much! It is much easier once you get the knack.

It's a good idea and pretty well executed. I think the game's speed increase a bit too fast but overall i enjoyed the time spent on it. Nice game !

Developer(+1)

We've gotten that feedback a lot! We're gonna adjust the speed and make the generation a bit nicer once the voting is over. Thank you!

Really nice concept. Maybe initially the controls should not change as often in the starting and eventually the frequency increases. Also maybe acceleration in the movement could be reduced a bit.

Otherwise, really nice game. Enjoyed playing it

Developer

We should probably make an easier lead-in and slow the acceleration. Thank you for the feedback!

Interesing concept. It might be a bit better if the new key inputs were closer to the player to save having to look at the bottom corner constantly. Apart from that though, it's a good game overall.

We'll move the keys to float beside the player :) Thank you!

Idea is there, musics nice. I found myself just watching the bottom corner of the game instead of the actual game. maybe if the key change was next to the player it would be easier to see whats happening. All in all great job!

Developer

Cheers! We'll move the keys to float beside the player :)

The idea is soooo great, but I think the keys are too small on the screen so it's hard to read fast. Great entry 💪

Developer(+1)

We might make the keys float with the player. We'll play-test it a bit and make changes once the voting is done :). Thank you for the feedback!
