This was really nice!

Very nice idea, the style is so cute! I like the little story with it, only thing I noticed sometimes it's hard to see the blue circle because of the background (for example at the beginning with the clouds).

It’s a really cool game idea. And I really liked the game’s graphics.

Very atmospheric! I really liked the sound and visual design. Controls feedback was a bit ambiguous, though

Really good game!

I could see this being something that would fit right into the era of flash. As others have said, it's very well polished, and has a great atmosphere.

It does not overstay its welcome, and has a good difficulty curve.

My only complaint is that I was so focused on hitting the timing, that I wasn't able to appreciate the dialogue nor background art enough, although, that may have added to the mystique.

Thanks for your feedback :) yes, very late testing the game I figured out “simple mechanic” is not necessarily easy … I died so many times just few steps to reach the end.. I tried to add flash effects to text so that could be read too but is not enough and I still wonder how this could be improved for other rythm games I want to make.

BTW in case you are interested on seeing more, ENTER key = debug I intentionally left to always do perfect hits :)
