Thanks for giving the game a go, and I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I also appreciate you making a point of getting a rating in for this game at the last minute :)

Sound design certainly isn’t my strong suit, so I’m pleasantly surprised to hear that you liked that aspect of the game as well.

Anywho, this evening, I’m going to try to clean up the game a bit (or at least get started on that task, there’s a few things I want to overhaul/improve), so don’t worry about beating the current state of the game, as there should be a slightly better version of the game for you try to beat instead in a few hours/days from now :^)

In all honesty, I had planned to include multiple levels (and the initialization logic for the game level has already been set up to allow different layouts to be loaded at runtime), but I had to cut the whole ‘level progression’ side of things due to the time constraints (leading to just one relatively long level, instead of multiple levels of increasing complexity as I originally intended to deliver)

That said, I do intend to implement this feature once the rating period for this jam ends.

Thanks for playing! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)

Fair enough.

The trick is to not rely on the arrow visuals, but to try keeping track of the rhythm (the arrow changes on the beat exactly, but the input window for a direction allows you to be half a beat earlier or later - but, if you’re too late, it counts as being ‘early’ for the next beat, which might be the issue for you).

I did throw together an alternate version of the audio with half the BPM of the version in the actual game, and there is logic in the code for this slower version - but I didn’t get around to implementing a method of toggling the BPM in the timeframe for the jam :p

That said, later on this afternoon, I could build an executable version of the game with the half BPM setting enabled, if you’d be interested. Just let me know if you’re on Windows or Linux and I’ll get it sorted.
