Man, I suck at this haha. But it was very fun to try :D

Anyway, awesome idea!

Man, I think this game was amazing. It really blew me away. Great idea and really executed perfectly. The first time or two I didn't read you could use the keyboard so even without that it's a lot of fun. I think it's hilarious watching someone else play it when they get the bow under the strings. The only bummer with that is that the bow is always on a higher layer, so even when the bow is below the bridge and under the strings it looks like it's over the strings. I wouldn't prevent the bow from going there, I would just fix the layers so the strings are visible over the bow so the player knows what just happened. I would love to see this game multiplayer, like as a guitar hero type where you can have a duet or dueling violins and see how the other person is doing while you're playing. I just looked and saw you worked on the Soup-Of-War game and it doesn't surprise me. That game completely blew me away too! I can't wait to see what you do next! Fabulous job!

Schorscho... your games are always so cool but so hard for me. Well, there was that time you made that hole game and that wasnt too hard but it was insane :p. 

It's really cool watching other people make games and kind of getting to know their personalities through that creative medium. Really cool game, perfectly clear what I was supposed to be doing within 5 seconds. It's just actually executing it that was difficult ><

Thank you for your kind words! Some testing would've done the game good, I suppose :)

OMG this game is hard and FUN! I might be biased, because I'm a violist, but I loved it. It was so hard, and so funny sharing it with my friends and trying to see if we could get better and better. I want to brag that I got a 1948 (only 68% accuracy though :( promise I'm better at playing my instrument in real life XD), hope other people comment their scores XD let's start a leaderboard in the comments! Love the physics, and loved that it incorporated a mechanic that simulated fingering! I also loved that you can still fling your bow away after the song haha! Cool physics, controlling the bow is so hard!

Wow, thank you so much! It's technically possible to reach 5 digits ;-)
