I spent a lot of time trying to beat this but I think the biggest problem with the difficulty is having the buttons randomized. It means you can get lucky and get a much easier or harder layout and that you can never get used to them (I assume that's the reason that you did it). If there were pre-set buttons I think it would make the game a lot easier, at least for those who are persistent.
With that being said it's a cool idea and very well made. The visuals and the music fit together perfectly with the gameplay and it feels very cohesive. Great job.

Yeah absolutely, the random buttons isn’t ideal - I think as I develop this idea I’ll actually make it so the player gets to map the keys themselves, that way the difficulty can come from the hecticness rather than randomly having to hold your hand in an uncomfortable position!
Thanks so much for playing and for your feedback! 😊
