as a musician, I came in cocky. really cocky. i was really stinkin' humbled by the second level
I think in order to make this a better game, the melody needs to stand out over the drums more. I found myself not being able to focus on the melody in order to remember it. Either that or there needs to be some form of indicator of when in the track the note was played.
However, I'm fairly certain that won't work for round two, due to the fact that you're supposed to play the melody back at twice the speed it was played, which is INSANELY DIFFICULT, even if you're only playing two notes.
Thanks so much for playing and reviewing my game! It means a lot.
Also a musician - I agree, and it used to be even harder - you had to play the melody perfectly each time. Imagine! As you noted, the melody standing out is definitely an issue and I should have had more sustain or something, even though I wanted part of the difficulty curve to involve the beat becoming more complex so you'd have to focus harder on the pitches. I tried to make it easy for the player to remember the rhythm by starting the playback on beat 1, but I forgot to implement it correctly for the harder two modes... oops.
