A cool idea! As others have said, I'd love an easier-to-use interface (Maybe clicking on a beat expands it into a list?) and the screen flicker effect is a bit hard on the eyes. But as a polyrhythm fan, this is a fun treat :)

This was hard to figure out at first but I started to enjoy it once I did. It's fun constructing melodies. The idea is solid, unfortunately the UI and how you change notes is too complicated and tedious. Still a good effort.

Interesting idea, a pretty tricky game to navigate, might loop back to it later!

Cool idea and also the implementation is very clean. But the list for the controlls is a bit much. Nonetheless: great work!

Solid idea and I like the implementation of the theme. The metronome sound was a little harsh to be hearing non stop, something quieter and less intrusive would be better. All in all a cool little musical memory game. Nice one.

Really good little game you got here, it feels like music practise!

Really nice idea, rhythm game with a loop... we were also thinking of it, but decided against it at the end. either way, really well done game 🍞!

Really cool way to utilize audio and synthesize new sounds! Keep up the good work

A little tedious to play, having to change the notes to match sequence was a bit of a chore (especially when notes are assigned by color instead of a better indicator of pitch.) Lots of distortion with the audio in the sequence editor. It is a cool concept though and is a fun take on the loop idea!

Thanks for the feedback!

The controls are definitely something I'd like to improve if I were to develop this further. I'd likely give the user to fully use mouse input the whole time and to provide the option of showing the name of the note instead of a color. (but the colors felt better for the vibes...)

I was hoping the audio distortion would be less of an issue with the volume slider, since the volume is secretly capped at 60% of max behind the scenes. But alas, there can definitely still be some issues as the way I implemented the audio is entirely CPU dependent.

Really cool very difficult but very calming

The game was way harder than I thought it'd be when I came up with the idea, but then again, I am a bit tone deaf.
