this was a really cool concept! the original music was great and the levels were fun, but only three levels felt too short. i'd love to see this expanded into a full game!

Developer

Thank you! I totally agree. It's too short and I'll work on adding more.

Cool idea only wish there were more levels or the music switched up more. Fun game and it looks good, kind of like those arcade lock games but with music. Good job!

The visuals are cool but i think that the rythm was not always on point when needing pressing Space :)

Developer

Thank you for the heads up! It's weird it's synced up on my end. What browser are you using? That should help me recreate the issue. There should also be a line to show you where your arrow was pointing during a miss.

Nevermind! I'm a dum dum. I see what you're saying. 
What's not clear and didn't come across well is that the wheel on the left is a visual timing game. If you're successful with your hit then it adds a drum hit to a cell on the pattern grid on the right which is in sync. I had trouble with the game, wanting the arrow to spin in different directions and at different speeds, for more of a challenge. I added a visual line when you miss to let the player know how much they miss by visually.
If the arrow was beat sync'd then drum samples would trigger all crazy like when the arrow spins fast.  
Thank you for the feedback!

Love it! The music is fun and it is very satisfying to hit the targets on time. Very original idea!
