Wow, 17177 is a great score! Thanks for playing, I’m really honored to be your fav game so far (yay, fellow musician)!
Ohh I see your point about the arrows. I wanted to diversify the note mapping to maintain interest and attention, and to avoid repetition. So, the notes sometimes represent one instrument and it’s rhythm, then switch to another instrument and so on. However, I see now that this approach can lessen the satisfaction, especially in the final repeating section where hitting the notes of the main melody would feel more intuitive and rewarding (rather than chord notes). Your feedback on this is incredibly helpful, thank you!
