Did you change the volumes? Up sound is more quiet than the empty beat. I am curious if you swap their places and have the empty beat be quiet, will it reduce the induced anxiety?
Graphics wise I would enjoy some sort of a grid or a tilemap that will show more clearly if I need 5 steps or 6 steps in the same direction towards then (level 3)
The difficulty curve could use some smoothing.
Currently:
- LVL3 requires an additional step every loop after the 2nd one;
- LVL4 requires 1 additional step on the 2nd loop only;
- This makes LVL4 more easy than LVL3
- LVL5 requires 2 skills: a) adding a beat every loop and b) leaving a gap in your loop which you can fill in later;
I suggest that you swap the places of LVL3 and LVL4.
I want to say that you need one more level before LVL5 to introduce the skill "gap planning" individually, but I can't imagine how that would look like.
