Its fun but I get the feeling I sometimes lose not cause of my musical timing being off but of a collision check on the beat thing? The FPS does not seem constant maybe. I did play it sandboxed so that may have impacted the performance.
I just can't get past the red stage. How many stages are there or is it infinite?
There's actually no collision: only the timing relative to the music is checked, the visuals are only here to help. Usually playing on beat should work, but I admit that the window is pretty tight! I didn't want to validate input that felt too much "off", but maybe a larger margin would be helpful. Unless it is a FPS issue in sandbox mode as you say. That might be the case if the bars movements are not consistant or if the music loop is off-beat. Also I used a larger margin in the jam version, maybe I should go back to that value if it feels more "fair".
There is an end to the game indeed! The red level is almost the last one! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game despite its difficulty.
Okay, so after almost 2 hours I managed to finish the game. Only to be met with this:
Now, is that special mode worth another x hours? What is it? Congrats again on the game its really nice!
*Note, the green level is really hard for some reason. Maybe it messes with my colour blindness a bit or something or there is too much going on with the background music to hear the beats accurately enough.
The special mode is only a mode that lets you play music freely. It's just a little bonus, not really worth putting hours of struggling to unlock it. (although it's ironically easier to get on the hard mode, but this mode is, well, true to its name)
The green level is indeed the hardest one. It has (almost) true random patterns, which can be treacherous. Lots of back-beats, and "3 fourth" gaps.
Edit: Wait, I've been tricked by my own colorblindness! (… or rather my flawed long-term memory). Green isn't actually the last level, it's red/pink! This one is supposed to be the hardest! So forget what I've said. Maybe the difficulty comes from the instruments used on this part, as you've said.
Thank you for sticking to the game despite its difficulty!

Great job!
Hi! Thank you very much for your feedback! :)

Congratulation!
