Props to you for developing in pico8!
I think the biggest thing this game needs (besides music) is some visual feedback. I can't really tell whether I'm hitting the notes or not, with my only success indicator being how many stars I get at the end. Indicators like a big colorful splash effect or a "Good!" pop up or a nice satisfying sound when I successfully hit a note is the lifeblood of these types of games.
There are some other weird choices that I think are really fighting with some genre staples. Like having the arrows ordered as [^v<>] instead of [<v^>] fights my natural intuition. And the core mechanic of having to wait for a random roll in order to hit a note correctly really detracts from the rhythm aspect.
That all said, I real appreciate you for putting something unique and experimental out there. I know making anything at all happen in pico8 is challenging, so submitting a finished product at all is impressive. Keep at it!
Like the graphics, but a rhythm game without music is kinda hard to make fun...
I hate to say it but this game is like actually inscrutable. I cannot figure out what is supposed to be happening for the life of me even after reading the controls, and there's no sound or feedback for anything. A rhythm game without music is an odd choice. Nice that you managed to add multiple levels and layouts though. Not really sure what the dice are doing here but i think they just kinda made everything way too complicated. Decent presentation though.
