Really liked it the visuals were so unqiue and the idea was very creative feel like the keybinds could have been a little better or rebindable! Sometimes the notes would spawn so that they would be impossible to dodge also felt like the timer for each level could've been shorter or just as long as the song since the song did seem to loop. The songs were good would've liked to hear a more fast paced track for an action game and maybe even have the notes be on beat to the song

Thanks for playing the game!
I'm really glad that you enjoyed the visuals, since I am kinda an amateur at pixel art, so it's nice to hear that I'm going in the right direction :]
I had thought about implementing rebindable keybinds, but I never got around to it, which I now realize was a missed opportunity. As for the note clustering, it mainly comes from the slowing-down mechanic; the code can't keep up quickly enough and ends up spawning notes at their old positions. I also wasn't aware of the timer issue! Each timer length is set to the song's length, and I thought I had balanced it since the timer speeds up and slows down along with the player. However, after going back and playing it myself, I can clearly see that the song doesn't actually match the timers. Thanks for pointing that out!
The song idea and the notes on beat sound interesting, maybe I could cook up a level or too after the jam 🤔
Thank you for the insight :)
