Sometimes it seams that the controls don't work, I don't if the game has a delay or what. Difficult to understand at first, once you get, it has a good gameplay.
When the beat kicks in I was immediately into this game, the controls seem to go a little out of time with the beat sometimes but I love the idea! Great potential.
Controls seem to have a different amount of delay on different devices? Didn't work well on my laptop but worked fine on my computer. Great soundtrack!
This game was really fun, although the controls sometimes felt unresponsive (I guess I was just not exactly hitting the beat, but it felt unfair) and I did not like that the game restarted completely each time. Apart form that though, it was a very nice game.
Nice game! I also felt kind of hindered by the controls, but I loved the basic idea and especially the nice build-up in the music! I'd play more of this!
Finally an original rythm game. Really good interpretation of the theme, really good music, immersive game.
The first issue that I recognized was that there is little to no feedback for when you get the beat right or wrong. It took me a bit to figure out the controls.
The second issue is that I think it's too hard. Allowing hits to be slightly more off beat would tip the difficulty balance right in the sweet spot. This way, players feel they're making progress, but at the same time they don't get it for free.
I've been playing this for the past 30 minutes and I love it. The way I found it works best is if I keep the tempo with the left hand while tapping the direction with the right.
Thank you so much everyone for playing and your comments! We definitely hear you about the keypress window needing to be a little more forgiving -- we really wish we had more time to polish that during the jam.
Wow, this really took me by surprise! Definitely one of the best games I've played yet.
I agree with the other comments that there should be a bit more feedback so you know you hit/missed the beat, but other than that this felt really polished!
Wow, this was... it is... wow. What an awesom idea for a rhythm game, this is the best game i have played so far (out of 35 or so). Well done, gfx, sound, gameplay, idea, 10/10 ! +1 for using phaser, so 11/10 ;)
This is a fantastic game, once you get the hang of it! It's very polished (I loved the level transition, shape tweening etc), and the music was perfect. Great work.
I like it, but i dunno... maybe there was latency in my brainspace but I had a hard time matching the beat. feel like things were a bit out of sync. also, +1000 funpoints for the polish. it's a great looking game.
This game is great! I love the way it feels to play. I wish there wasn't so much latency with audio so that there could be some audio feedback when I move.
Controls felt good, enjoyed the music build up. I kept losing the beat when waiting for pieces to pass through, maybe there was a way to keep going without pause.
Really cool game. I just wish it was a bit easier. To me, it looks like the game is suffering from desinc. After about 30 seconds, the music on the title screen was playing in between the visual beats.
Other then not being able to make a long run, the game is very fun. I ended up playing for a hour even with the bug.
That music caught my attention to keep on playing this game and keep advancing to get that awesome part of the tune. Really nice! Thank you so much for this game (I would play another round for the music LOL) :D
Really nice game :) I think the user interaction can be improved as it is quite hard to see the shape of the incoming border (with the superposition), but I have nothing to propose :(
Took me a while to get how to play the game and found it quite difficult to maintain the beat. I think a tutorial would have helped a maybe a slower beat to get used to the mechanics. Solid concept the presentation was very nice.
Controls seemed unresponsive or a little off-beat, the music is absolutely amazing and beyond what I'd expect for a game created within a weekend. Sounds and rhythmic gameplay triggers for them are on point. Design is very clean and minimal, that's my joint

The controls were a little too slow. I'd also have preferred a little music to go with the pulsing shapes.

SOOO good
Looks like a over simplified version of Necrodancer! (not a bad thing AT ALL!)
I think it would play awesomely on a mobile device, consider it!
The transition animation are right in the point, not too fast, not too slow
the ONLY thing that bothered me is the fact that the game is about rithms and the music don't have a strong beat to follow
